ground meat

🥗Healthier: ground turkey

💰Cheaper: ground chicken

Ground turkey is leaner, while ground chicken is often less expensive.

breadcrumbs

🥗Healthier: oats

💰Cheaper: crushed crackers

Oats provide a healthier coating, while crushed crackers can be more budget-friendly.

Preheat the oven to 200 degrees Celsius (400 degrees Fahrenheit).

In a small oven-proof pot, add 1 tablespoon of double cream.

Fry the bacon bits in a frying pan on medium-high heat until nearly done.

Put the cooked bacon into the pot and mix it with the cream.

Gently break an egg in the center of the pot, surrounding it with double cream to keep it centered.

Season with salt and pepper.

Add grated Gruyere cheese on top of the egg.

Place the pot in the oven for 5 to 10 minutes, depending on your liking.

Chop the fresh herbs while the eggs are cooking.

Cut a long slice of bread and toast it until golden brown.

Once the eggs are cooked, place the toasted bread on top and sprinkle with fresh herbs.
