Do you have extra fresh herbs from a previous recipe? Let’s use those for keto baked eggs before they go to waste! You’ll have breakfast on the table in less than a half hour with this easy and versatile recipe. It’s just as easy to make for a crowd as it is to make for yourself for a nice breakfast. You can use any herbs that you like or have on hand. I used parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme. Other options are oregano, tarragon, chives, dill, etc.
Also, if you have a lot of dried herbs at home, the conversion from fresh to dried herbs is as follows: 1 tablespoon of fresh herbs = 1 teaspoon of dried herbs. So, in this recipe you would use 2 teaspoons of dried herbs if you don’t have fresh herbs on hand.
Start by heating the oven to 350° F. Coat each individual ramekin with 1 teaspoon of butter.
Next, chop desired herbs very finely. Mix the herbs in a small bowl with parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper. Add 2 tablespoons of cream to each dish and then sprinkle 2 tablespoons of the parmesean/herb mixture evenly over the cream. Lightly stir to combine.
Crack two eggs in each ramekin, being careful not to crack the yolk. Bake until the whites are set, 17-20 minutes, depending on how you like your egg yolks.
If you don’t have ramekin dishes, you can still enjoy this dish! You can also make this dish in a muffin tin. Simply grease 4 wells of the muffin tin with butter, add 1 tbsp of heavy whipping cream and 1 tbsp of the herb and parmesan mixture into each prepared well. Carefully crack an egg on top and bake for 13-18 minutes depending on how you prefer your eggs.
You can also use an air fryer instead of turning on the oven. If using an air fryer, reduce heat to 325 degrees and cook for 12-15 minutes depending on how you prefer your eggs.
Enjoy your keto baked eggs the next time you are craving a savory, filling breakfast!

Using dried herbs instead of fresh: 1 tablespoon of fresh herbs = 1 teaspoon of dried herbs. So, in this recipe you would use 2 tsp of dried herbs if you don't have fresh herbs.
In fact, you'll find eggs used as an ingredient in keto recipes more than just about any other ingredient. Which is why if you're on the keto diet, eating the best eggs (e.g. pasture-raised, free-range, organic) is important.
It's totally fine and safe to eat up to 6 eggs a day while on the keto diet. You can consume even more eggs per day occasionally, as long as you make sure that you eat your greens, healthy fats and proteins from other sources.
For a keto-friendly dish, sauté some bacon, diced uncured ham, and leafy greens like spinach and kale in oil. When the filling is cooked, fold it into scrambled eggs or use it to make a frittata.
BOTTOM LINE: An egg fast is an extreme, brief version of the keto diet that restricts you to eating mostly eggs, cheese, and butter for 3–5 days. It may promote short-term weight loss, but it risks nutrient deficiencies and weight regain.
It's important to note that, whilst overall eggs can provide great health benefits, studies show that consuming up to a maximum of 3 eggs a day favoured well-balanced cholesterol levels, and 2 eggs a day favoured weight-loss in overweight individuals.
The best keto cheeses include cheddar, Gouda, goat cheese, and blue cheese, while the worst are cottage cheese and low fat and processed varieties. If you're following the keto diet or know someone who is, be sure to keep these cheeses in mind to promote ketosis and meet dietary goals.
Eggs are a great keto diet choice, and you can ply yourself with fiber, vitamins, and minerals by eating an omelet with low-carb veggies. Try onions, mushrooms, garlic, spinach, bell pepper, and squash as options.
Bacon is high in fat and protein, which makes it an excellent choice for people on a low-carb diet. To stay in ketosis, you should only eat about 3 ounces of bacon per day. This amount gives you enough fat to stay full while staying within the ketogenic diet's recommended range of macros.
Regular, full fat sour cream is made from cream and contains far more fat than carbs. Therefore, it's considered keto-friendly. However, low fat or nonfat sour cream is not. Full fat sour cream can provide some variety in a keto diet when used as a dip base or incorporated into recipes to boost the fat content.
Botanically speaking, tomatoes are considered a fruit. However, unlike other fruit, they're considered keto-friendly. That's because tomatoes contain around 2–3 grams of net carbs per 3.5 ounces (100 grams) — or up to 10 times fewer net carbs than most fruit — regardless of their variety ( 5 , 7 , 8 , 9 , 10 ).
Cucumber is another popular salad vegetable. It contains many essential nutrients, including vitamin K. Cucumber is also suitable for the keto diet, as its carb content is just 3.63 g per 100 g. To make the carb content lower, a person can peel the cucumber before eating it.
egg whites? Both are fine on keto! Typically the yolk is avoided due to its concentration of cholesterol. And while the yolk definitely has more cholesterol, calories, and fat than their fellow egg whites, that's also where you get most of the eggs' amazing nutrients!
To calculate your egg intake, it's crucial to assess your daily macronutrient goals. For most individuals following a keto diet, aiming for 1-3 eggs per day is a reasonable range.
If you're eating this for pre- or post-workout fueling, Antonucci recommends adding some form of carbs, like oats, sweet potato, beans, or two slices whole-grain bread, to accompany the dish and speed recovery.
Eggs are an easy and affordable source of fat and protein while also being low in carbohydrates, making them a good choice for those following a keto diet.
