Meal Replacement Cheese & Bacon Breakfast Eggs

Still experimenting after my first week on the diet. Am enjoying most of the products and am seeing encouraging results but these "eggs" are a big no-no. They are very unpleasant and as another reviewer mentioned there is a powerful synthetic odour to them which lingers long after they have been cooked. Felt queasy for the rest of the morning and will definitely not be re-ordering.

I mixed up the sachet as described and poured into pan looked a bit like a pancake. I added generous salt, pepper and chives and had it with a side of grilled mushrooms. Doesn't taste like cheese and bacon, but made a tasty alternative omlette.

This was my first Exante meal replacement so I was a bit apprehensive - would I absolutely hate them? Actually, no. I made them into a crepe and while they tasted like nothing I'd eaten before they were very pleasant - a little bit sweet, a little bit salty and with a smoky-bacon-crisp aftertaste. I'll have them again!

I was a bit skeptical about these as they looked really unappetising when I was frying them in the pan. But boy, with 1tsp of Worcester sauce, pepper and some herbs these make a great breakfast! You need to stir them in the pan constantly while cooking to get the “scrambled eggs” texture. Definitely got the bacon-ish taste but not the cheese. Either way, I thought these were yummy!

This is an odd product. It's exactly the same as the pancakes, but without the sweet taste. So plain, uninspiring pancakes. Didn't taste like eggs, cheese or bacon to me, aside from the pancakey texture. Needs herbs or spices or something to liven it up a bit. Trying to make it into a scrambled egg substitute instead only results in a kind of scrambled pancake affair. Perfectly edible though, but dull.

I can quite honestly say this is the most disgusting thing I have every eaten – there is no taste of cheese or bacon, it’s the texture of a flip-flop and it has a strange fine gritty taste. A good couple of hours later and I still feel sick. This is the first Exante meal I’ve tried as I am using the meals to reinvigorate my 5:2 diet which works a treat for me when I can stick at it. I hope to goodness the other stuff I bought is better than this – and I’ve six more of these to eat.

Really enjoyed this, made an omelette style pancake and had it for lunch with a sliced avocado and it was delicious

Loved them- Just shows you how everyone's tastes are different - I made these into small pancakes- and i really enjoyed them. They do have that processed cheese/ ham taste of something like a pizza pocket or a jambon- not real cheese and ham- but that was one of my guilty pleasures- so i really enjoyed it and going to stock up for those cravings!!

Easy to cook and smelt ok, but unfortunately I had to spit the first mouthful into the bin, as it had the same undertone of gone-off-vinegar that a few of the other products have

After being pleasantly surprised by how nice many of the shakes are, I wanted to try a few meals, just to make sure I don't get bored. I gave the cheese & bacon breakfast eggs a try. Wow. They're awful. They smell quite strong in powder form. I'm not sure what the smell is, but it isn't any of the foods named in the title. I went ahead and cooked, and it tasted of nothing. Very strange. I think I will return in exchange for pancakes as I tried the lemon ones and they're really nice. p.s. I could smell the same smell from the powder in my house for a couple of hours after throwing these away.
