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 2
Lightly spray a 2 portion ovenproof serving dish or 2 individual ramekins with low calorie cooking spray.
Step 3

Step 7

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!

Hi, is the breakfast bake recipe in any of the PON books please?
HollyThursday 20th January 2022
Hey June, the Breakfast Bakes are exclusive to our website. We have an article HERE which explains how to save a recipe to favourites so you can find it quickly next time, hope that helps!
June BuckMonday 31st January 2022
Hi Holly, that’s great thanks 😊
MillieTuesday 7th September 2021
What would the calories be if I had this without bacon?
HollyWednesday 8th September 2021
Hey Millie, yes you can adjust the calories accordingly if you leave out the bacon. Have a look at our guide on how to do this HERE hope that helps!
Marie BWednesday 2nd June 2021
I really don’t like beans, would this work with tinned spaghetti instead?
HollyFriday 4th June 2021
Hey Marie, we haven’t tried this with spaghetti but it should work okay just be sure to alter the calories accordingly, hope that helps!
AliThursday 4th February 2021
What size tin of beans is used for this calorie count. Thanks
HollyThursday 4th February 2021
Hi Ali, we used half of an average sized can of baked beans for this recipe the weight can vary from brand to brand from 400g to 420g hope that helps!
RachSunday 31st January 2021
This looks delish, but i only like scrambled egg could i put scrambled egg in or would that not work? & also would that add the calories up? Thanks xx
HollySunday 31st January 2021
Hi Rach, you could replace the baked egg with scrambled egg but it’s not something we have tried. I would suggest cooking the scrambled egg separately then once the rest of the ingredients are assembled add the egg to the top with the cheese. The nutritional information may need altering depending what you mix with your eggs to scramble them have a look at this article HERE which will give you a little help with altering calories. Hope that helps!

Hi are these square dishes tapas ones from
amazon ? they look so small than the picture
HollyTuesday 29th September 2020
Hi Manny, there is a link under special equipment for some dishes that are very similar to the ones we used for the Breakfast Bakes these are perfect for one portion of this recipe. Hope that helps!
Tracy MedforthThursday 25th June 2020
Absolutely love this recipe
Steve CowderoyThursday 25th June 2020
Hi Tracey, thanks for getting in touch with us. So happy to hear you enjoyed this recipe.
JeanSaturday 23rd May 2020
Because of time I decided to microwave this instead. I poured the beans over, straigth from the tin as it doesn’t say to heat the beans first. I put it in the microwave for 1 minute 80 seconds; I like my egg with a soft yolk and my microwave is 900 watts. I had to keep cooking for a further 30 seconds, then another; in fact I lost count of how long they were cooking for, in order to get the egg white cooked. I think you should include in this recipe the fact that the beans obviously have to be heated through first
SharonFriday 29th May 2020
Hi Jean, thanks for your question about the Breakfast Bakes and sorry to hear you’ve had a problem getting the egg to cook. I have checked, and can confirm that the baked beans do go into the dish cold. The timings given will vary depending on your microwave, the size of the dish used, how you like your eggs cooked and whether you covered the dish with cling film. Because of all these variables, the timings are a guide in this recipe. Did you cover the dish with cling film when microwaving the Breakfast Bakes, as this would affect the cooking time? Do hope this helps and many thanks for getting in touch.
Lucinda PMonday 30th March 2020
Made this tonight but didn’t fancy beans so swapped them out for tomatoes. Just as delish.
Steve CowderoyWednesday 6th May 2020
Hi Lucinda, sounds lovely thanks for letting us know.
AnikaSaturday 22nd February 2020
I’m not a beans fan can I use spaghetti Instead
Sharon FitzpatrickWednesday 13th May 2020
Hi Anika, thanks for your question about spaghetti. We haven’t tried making this with spaghetti, but you could try using tinned spaghetti in tomato sauce, it should be fine. Let us know how you get on!
LouiseThursday 6th February 2020
I’m not a massive fan of mushrooms, any suggestions of a substitute?
Holly LevellMonday 18th May 2020
Hi Lousise, you could swap the mushrooms for some sliced peppers or sliced cherry tomatoes. Hope that helps!
BecciTuesday 10th September 2019
Anyone making with frozen veggie sausage did you prebake first?
Emma TFriday 13th September 2019
Hi Becci,
If the veggie sausages are frozen, I’d recommend baking them first!
Hope that helps!
Christine BeardwoodTuesday 6th August 2019
I would like to take this to work but only have a microwave…. help
Emma TTuesday 24th September 2019
Hi Christine,
You could cook this in advance and then reheat (just make sure the container is microwaveable friendly!) ????
EmmaSunday 28th July 2019
Hi, this sounds amazing but I Hate Baked Beans!! Can I use tinned Tomatoes instead? Xx
Holly LevellFriday 15th May 2020
Hi Emma, you could try to use tinned tomatoes but they may produce a lot more liquid so I’d suggest draining them just to remove some of the juice before pouring them over the bacon and mushrooms. Let us know how you get on!
NickyFriday 8th March 2019
Recently found this little gem of a recipe! OMG me and my partner are obsessed!!!!!!!!! Made it last night for my parents and dropped it off for their breakfast this morning! Hopefully they will love it too! 🙂 So tasty and so quick and easy to throw together 🙂 Thank you 🙂 xx

Sam IngramWednesday 2nd January 2019
