Ingredients:

• 6 Strips Low Sodium Turkey Bacon
• 6 Whole Eggs
• Ground Black Pepper

Directions:

• Preheat oven – 350 and lightly spray a 6 cup muffin tin (I used Pam)
• Cut each strip of ‘raw’ bacon in half – 1 strip lines 1 cup in ‘X’ (cross over) fashion
• Break 1 egg into each cup
• Add ground pepper to taste (Note: You can add 1/2 salt if you wish… also you can add some shredded cheese on top I just didn’t have any Poon approved left in the house so I omitted – but remember ‘if’ you add cheese it counts as a ‘snack’)
• Bake for approx. 12-15 mins (depends on your oven and how you like your eggs i.e. if you like them hard eggs then bake longer)

Note: 1 Turkey Bacon Egg Cup is a serving for Phase 1

• 4 Cans low sodium tuna – Drained well
• 2 Whole Eggs – Cracked…
  
• 4 Green Onions – Chopped
  
• Cracked Black Pepper – To taste
  
• Dill – To taste
  
• Garlic Powder – To taste
  
• Lemon Infused Olive Oil – 2 Tbl

Directions:

• Mix above together and form into 12 balls (just a bit bigger then a golf ball) flatten to approx. ¼ thickness
• Heat 1 tbl of oil in pan to medium-high heat and place 6 patties and cook (without moving/turning – If you move them around they may fall apart best to drop and leave them alone) for 3-4 minutes (you want them golden brown) flip and repeat

Don’t you just LOVE when ‘all’ in the family eats the same meal? Well all by my Dad that is – I could NOT pay him to eat Tuna or Salad
