About this recipe
Breakfast eggs with bacon and roasted peppers is a savoury Thermomix TM7 recipe that turns a handful of everyday ingredients into a Mediterranean-style morning treat. If you have been searching for easy breakfast recipes for your all-in-one kitchen machine, this preparation shows exactly why steaming eggs in the TM7 works so well: the gentle Varoma steam cooks the eggs to a silky, just-set texture while the roasted peppers warm through and release their sweet, smoky juices. The bacon adds a crispy, salty counterpoint, and a few pitted olives bring a briny finish if you like a bolder flavour. Because the built-in scale weighs everything directly into the mixing bowl, there is no guessing and hardly any washing up. Ideal for a leisurely weekend brunch, a protein-rich start to a working day, or a quick weeknight supper when you fancy something warm and satisfying without complicated steps.
Preparation tips
- Pat the preserved roasted peppers dry with kitchen paper before adding them to the mixing bowl, so their sweet juices do not dilute the savoury bacon flavour and the eggs hold their shape better.
- Serve the eggs directly in the Varoma or on warm plates with the crispy bacon crumbled on top, a scattering of pitted olives and a generous twist of ground pepper for the best presentation.
- For a milder family version, replace the smoked bacon with cooked ham strips and leave out the olives, keeping the roasted peppers for sweetness that children usually enjoy.
Recipe variations
- Vegetarian variation: swap the bacon for cubes of grilled courgette or strips of sun-dried tomato, and keep the roasted peppers and olives for a fully meat-free breakfast that still tastes rich and smoky.
- Festive brunch variation: add a spoonful of crème fraîche and fresh chives over the steamed eggs, serve with toasted sourdough, and present the peppers and olives in small bowls for a colourful weekend brunch board.
