How many calories are these Breakfast Bakes?
A serving of our Breakfast Bakes comes in at 321 calories. It is such a naughty tasting and filling breakfast for such a low amount! This means it falls into our Everyday Light recipe category. You can find all of our other Everyday Light recipes here.
These Breakfast Bakes are great for anyone following a calorie controlled diet, and fit well with any one of the major diet plans such as Weight Watchers.
As a guide, an average man needs around 2,500kcal (10,500kJ) a day to maintain a healthy body weight. For an average woman, that figure is around 2,000kcal (8,400kJ) a day. Obviously, if your goal is to lose weight then you might want to adjust these slightly! You can read more about these recommendations on the NHS website.
Step 1
If using the oven preheat to 190°C.
Step 2
Lightly spray a 2 portion ovenproof serving dish or 2 individual ramekins with low calorie cooking spray.
Step 3
Heat a frying pan over a medium heat, spray with low calorie cooking spray, then add the bacon and mushrooms. Gently fry until they start to colour.
Step 4
Arrange the bacon and mushrooms evenly in serving dish.
Step 5
Spoon the beans over the bacon and mushrooms.
Step 6
Make a well with the spoon and crack the eggs on the top of ingredients.
Step 7
Sprinkle the egg with some salt and pepper and top with cheese.
Step 8
Either bake in the preheated oven for 15 – 20 minutes or microwave on high for at least 60 – 90 seconds (don’t forget to cover with cling film in the microwave). Make sure the egg is cooked as you like it and serve.
Can you cook Breakfast Bakes another way?
You can cook these Breakfast Bakes in the oven or the microwave.
Don’t forget, cooking times will vary depending on your microwave or oven, the size of dish you use and how you like your eggs, so we’ve given you a rough guide for both.
I like a runny yolk so 15 minutes in the oven was perfect for me!
Either bake in the preheated oven at 190°C for 15 – 20 minutes, or microwave on high for at least 60 – 90 seconds (don’t forget to cover with cling film in the microwave).
Make sure the egg is cooked as you like it and serve!
How do you know when the Breakfast Bakes are cooked?
When cooked the egg on top will be cooked to your preference, any white should be set.
This should take approx 15-20 minutes in the oven, 60-90 seconds in the microwave (high).
Standard advice here in the UK is to cook food until it has reached 70°C and stayed at that temperature for 2 minutes. This is to keep your family safe.
How long can you keep Breakfast Bakes in the fridge?
You can keep them prepared (minus the egg) in the fridge for up to 3 days. Make sure they are well covered.
We wouldn’t recommend keeping leftovers as the egg would be over cooked when reheating.
Can I freeze Breakfast Bakes?
We wouldn’t recommend freezing this recipe. It’s really quick to put together and you can always prepare it the night before (minus the egg) and keep it in the fridge if your morning is rushed!

SuzannaFriday 6th July 2018
I’ve followed SW on and off for years and always struggled with breakfast as I don’t like overnight oats, or most cereals. Tried this this morning and I’ve found my new favorite breakfast, today starts my 4th attempt at following SW properly and I’m so glad I’ve found your website!!
PS. For anyone using the microwave, this took me 3 minutes in my 800W microwave for the yolk to be fully cooked.
LisaThursday 31st May 2018
So is this recipe for 1 person? I couldn’t quite work that out! Or kept missing the number of people this serves!
AnaThursday 31st May 2018
Hello, I did everything in the method minus the cheese and cooked in the microwave covered for 90 seconds and the egg was still raw, I tried again for another 1 minute and the egg was still raw! What am I doing wrong?
Katy lushMonday 7th May 2018
I made this today-i love it however the eggs were overdone so I think I might try it at a lower heat for less time. Oh I also added onion& some sliced baby plum tomatoes-yummy!

Absolutely delicious. Took a couple of minutes in the microwave to cook the egg through and I added a few good splashes of Worcestershire before serving. Another great recipe idea!
CarolineSaturday 10th February 2018
Do you think you could freeze them and just defrost and re-heat when needed?
JadeMonday 16th October 2017

chescaSunday 27th August 2017
I made this in the oven, after 12 mins the yolks were like rocks and the white was still raw! What am I doing wrong?
Emma TMonday 11th September 2017
Hi Chesca,
The oven should be hot (190 degrees) and the recipe says to bake them for 15-20 minutes.
Hope that helps!
