Primal Nachos

Yesterday I was perusing the Daily Apple Forums (Fora, er, whatever...), when I found a thread about people's preferred comfort foods.  Bacon and eggs were a common theme, along with dark chocolate.  One that caught my eye was "Cold Cut Nachos", which has simply cold meat, topped with cheese, and microwaved until the cheese melted.

Well, that got me thinking, because Nachos have long been a favourite, easy to make snack food of mine.  Of course, not eating grains means that corn chips are out of the question, so no Nachos for me any more.  Up until yesterday, I hadn't really been missing them, but the "cold cut nachos" got me thinking about a primal alternative.

So, what's a good primal alternative to corn chips?  Why not try some crispy fried bacon, I thought.  What else can I throw on top of the bacon besides cheese?  Well, there's always capsicum, avocado, tomato and chillies.  Oh, and why not throw in an egg for good measure, too?

So, the end result is Bacon Nachos, a nice easy to prepare meal, which is tasty and healthy to boot.  Tried them out last night, and they were magnificent.  Unfortunatley, I have no pictures of them, because we'd finished them before we realised that we forgot to take a picture.  Whoops, well, I guess there's always next time...

Here's how to make them:

Bacon Nachos:
Ingredients:
6 (or so) Rasher of Bacon (allow 2 or 3 rashers per person being fed)
1 Egg per person
2 Tomatoes (allow an extra tomato if feeding more than 4 people)
1 Avocado
1/2 Capsicum
Chillies to taste
Grated Cheese

- Pre-heat the oven to 180° C.
- Fry the bacon until it is just starting to go crispy, and place in a baking tray or casserole dish
- Chop the tomato, avocado, capsicum and chillies finely, mix together and place on top of the bacon
- Crack the eggs over the top of the tomato etc.
- Top with grated cheese
- Place in the oven, and bake until the cheese is golden brown.
