It is said that breakfast is the meal of champions: The novel, dating back to 1973 is the story of "two lonesome, skinny, fairly old white men on a planet which was dying fast." until Wheaties took the well known saying as a slogan for their own breakfast campaigns back in 1927.
Is it time for a revival? With low carb diets taking the Western world by storm, we began to really hone on what it means to enjoy a low carb diet full of healthy, natural fats. Naturally, we began to fantasise about the perfect breakfast combination of fats, proteins, and carbohydrates which brings us to this epic breakfast dish.
Top Tip: The longer you soak your Lo-Dough in the egg the better. For this recipe, we soaked ours for 60 minutes before frying, however, if time is not on your side, we would recommend soaking in the egg for at least twenty minutes.
LoDough is the perfect vessel for a breakfast taste sensation. With each piece coming in at only 39 calories and 2.2 grams of carbs, Lo-Dough makes for an incredible eggy bread breakfast experience. For this dish, we teamed it up with maple cured streaky bacon, avocado and sumptuous tomatoes on the vine.
