A Simple Supper for Two
A one-skillet dinner that is not only delicious, but low-carb, too!
Servings: 2
Ingredients
- 6 strips bacon, cut crosswise in half
- 7-8 ounces coleslaw or vegetable slaw
- 4 large eggs
- Salt and freshly-ground pepper
- A sprinkling of shredded Cheddar or Colby Jack cheese
- A sprinkling of fresh, minced parsley
Instructions
- Put the bacon in a large skillet. Over medium-low heat, fry the bacon on both sides until brown and crisp -- about 5 minutes. Transfer the bacon to a plate lined with paper towels. Tip the coleslaw into the skillet, and let it cook in the bacon fat until the slaw softens and starts to brown -- 3-5 minutes. Break the eggs on top of the coleslaw. Cover the skillet, and cook until the egg whites are set and the yolks form a light film -- about 5 minutes. Sprinkle the cheese over the eggs, turn off the heat, and cover the skillet until the cheese melts -- 30 seconds or up to 2 minutes depending on how much cheese you used. Scatter the parsley over all.
- Divide the bacon and the contents of the skillet among two plates. Enjoy while hot!

Sounds and looks delicious!
How about an update on Binky? I’d love to see how she’ s doing! And whatever happened to her mother?
Mary says
This looks so good. Our meal this week. Thanks Kevin, I look forward to your mail
every week.

Hi Marie – Binky is happy, healthy, and growing like a weed! Trying to trap Binky’s mother so she can be spayed and then returned to us.
Hi Mary – Let me know how the dish works out for you!

just watched the video, kevin. thanks for that. it’s always great to see the visuals. i love that you prepare this meal when you’re feeling less than fabulous. what a great re-balancer. and so easy. don’t even need measurements. and your humor! will definitely try this one out shortly. after a week like this one, my carb intake has been insane.
Nahid Reed says
This reminds me of a dish we call Nargessi (Narcissus) which we make in my home country of Iran! The reason is we use sautéed spinach and onions in butter and when you cook the eggs on top it looks like the flower Narcissus! It’s an absolute emergency food when someone drops by and you have not much else to serve them. As children of course we loved this dish and would often demand it when we didn’t care about the dinner served that night!
Dianne White says
I made this for dinner tonight, too. It is super yummy and works just as well for just one person!
Sharon says
Any meal starting with bacon is going to be a hit in my house! Looks so yummy! Will be trying it out this week!
Betty says
Can’ wait to try this! I have been adding cabbage to soups and casseroles over the last couple years and my husband I really like it raw or cooked…we make a slaw with cabbage, apples and carrots, a bit of honey, whole grain mustard and olio’s peach flavored olive oil….it would be perfect with this recipe. Thanks for a great meal idea…I like keto meals but have to really limit my bacon and fats…this is not so bad!!!
Kevin Lee Jacobs says
Hi Nahid – The Nargessi dish sounds awesome!
Hi Dianne – I’m so glad!
AnnieW says
Going to go get some bacon today so I can EAT THIS!!
Marcy MacDonald says
What an easy delicious looking recipe. It is so easy and sometimes, I need easy. I will be making this sometime this week for dinner.
Carolyn Yost says
GREAT last minute recipe with wonderful instructions. I had cabbage saw on hand and next time will look for vegetable slaw. My only change was to sauté fresh
sliced mushrooms before adding the slaw to the pan. Loved it!
Regina says
I am a new at vegan but I had to try this . I served it on toast it really didn’t need it . It was delicious Thank You. Love all your information it’s been very helpful
Dot Sparling says
Kevin, i would never have thought about cooking coleslaw in bacon fat and I am really surprised that the eggs yolks remained soft… but I trust you and plan to try this as soon as I can get to the store to purchase the slaw mixture! Thanks for all of your creativity! Appreciate!
JK Collins says
Now if only I had a good coleslaw or vegetable slaw recipe…
Ardelle says
I will attest to this delicious breakfast, lunch or dinner. I make this very same thing except I usually add a splash of Braggs apple cider vinegar to the cabbage before adding the eggs – such a nutritious simple meal – thanks for featuring it. Sometimes I use smoked cheddar cheese too – just awesome.
Kathleen Hussey says
Sounds terrific !will definitely try it!
Ruth says
Reminds me a bit of Okonomiyaki of Japanese cuisine…very good!
Patty M says
This is a great idea! Thank you!
Connie says
Two thumbs up. I had to share with my neighbor. This is perfect for their vegetarian style diet. She’ll probably use Turkey bacon instead of regular and using vegan cheese. I think this looks wonderful. Thanks, Kevin!

Your recipe for skillet dinner of eggs, bacon and coleslaw is a take on Iranian Nargesi but it is made with spinach instead of coleslaw. You and I make it with coleslaw which I like better.

I made this last week, it was delicious!
Anne says
Love this dinner. I hadn’t thought of using a coleslaw mix. I’ve been using spinach or kale and then adding the eggs. And I used Asiago cheese over the whole thing. I’ve found that 6 minutes is just right for the eggs. Thanks for the new twist. Will definitely try it!
