This dish has light seasonings and you can eat a lot as-is. My boyfriend doesn't like strong seasonings, so I used maple syrup for a subtle sweetness. He loves this dish because he loves bacon.

Maple syrup is lower in calories than refined white sugar. It also doesn't raise blood sugar levels easily and has a lot of minerals such as calcium and potassium. It is a healthy alternative to eat minerals. Recipe by ochikeron
