Introduction

A decadent comfort food without the guilt! Serve with spaghetti squash, Dreamfields Low Carb Pasta to keep the carb count low. I have added spinach and mushroom to up the veggie count but traditionally it's just egg, garlic, bacon and cheese so adapt at will (I like the creaminess of adding the Carnation, full fat recipes use cream) A decadent comfort food without the guilt!

Ingredients

    1 tbs olive oil
    250ml Carnation light evaporated milk
    2 eggs
    1 small onion diced
    1 clove garlic crushed
    4 rashers bacon diced
    1 cup sliced mushrooms
    3 tbs grated parmesan cheese
    2 tbs finely chopped fresh parsley
    2 tbs finely chopped fresh basil
    1/4 cup frozen spinach

Directions

Saute diced onion and garlic in olive oil, do not let it get too brown. Add bacon and cook and then add mushrooms. When mushrooms are soft add evaporated milk and cheese. Lower heat and gently stir through whisked eggs (if temperature is too hot they will scramble). Add herbs and spinach (defrosted in microwave).
