About Bacon egg roll

A bacon egg roll is a popular breakfast item, particularly in Western cuisine, consisting of scrambled or fried eggs, crispy bacon, and often cheese, wrapped in a soft bread roll or tortilla. This hearty dish is known for its combination of protein, fat, and carbohydrates, making it an energy-dense meal. Nutritionally, it provides a good source of high-quality protein from the eggs and bacon, fats (including saturated fats), and dietary carbohydrates from the roll. One bacon egg roll offers approximately 300-500 calories, depending on portion sizes and additional ingredients like cheese or sauces, and it also contains vital nutrients such as B vitamins, iron, and selenium. However, it tends to be high in sodium and saturated fats, so portion control is key for a balanced diet.

Health Benefits

• Eggs in the roll provide high-quality protein, which supports muscle repair and growth.
• Bacon and eggs are sources of B vitamins, such as B12, which is essential for red blood cell formation and nervous system health.
• The roll (if whole grain) can provide fiber, which aids in digestion and helps regulate blood sugar levels.

Dietary Considerations

Allergens: Contains eggs, wheat (in the roll), dairy (if cheese is included)

Suitable for: High-protein diets, omnivorous diets

Not suitable for: Vegetarian diets, vegan diets, low-sodium diets, gluten-free diets (unless a gluten-free roll is used)

Selection and Storage

Store leftover cooked bacon and eggs in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Assemble just before eating to prevent the roll from becoming soggy.
