    These easy Keto Breakfast Fat Bombs are made with cream cheese, green onion, eggs, and bacon. a delicious morning meal perfect for mornings on the go.

    These Keto Breakfast Fat Bombs are a true lifesaver for frantic mornings.  Personally, when we wake up in the morning after our alarm clock gives out a warning, we don’t think we’ll ever make it on time.  By the time we grab our books and give ourselves a look, we’re at the corner just in time to see the bus fly by…wait no, scratch that…that’s Zach Morris, not us.

    Either way, we’re sure you've all had those mornings where you were saved by the bell. Let these little bacon-covered bites of heavenly deliciousness make your mornings calm. We guess you could say you’re saved by the (fat) bomb. 😉

    As you could probably figure out we love our cast iron skillets. Our second favorite piece of cookware is the Instant Pot, followed by our smoker/grill combo but we’re getting off track.

    If you’ve never made hard-boiled eggs in the Instant Pot, no offense… but you’re doing it wrong. This post from SkinnyTaste covers all the details to make perfect hard-boiled (or soft-boiled) eggs every time that are the absolute easiest to peel.

    As for the bacon, we lay it out in our largest cast iron skillet and bake it in the oven while the eggs are in the Instant Pot, the timing works out almost perfectly.

    If you’ve got a busy week at work, make these on Sunday and have them on hand all week long. Roll them into 10 balls rather than 8 and have 2 for breakfast each day. It sure beats skipping breakfast and subjecting yourself to UIF (Unintentional Intermittent Fasting).

            Hi Liv, the eggs are hardboiled so they are already cooked when you mix them with the cream cheese.

        I haven't tried freezing these, since they are eggs, cheese, and bacon 4 days is the max I would hold onto them.

      These sound really good. I have not had my bacon crumble like that. I do cook it in the oven, but on racks in a cookie sheet. Would cooking them in a cast iron pan like you do make it crumbly like that?

        When cooking it on a rack you're loosing the grease that makes it crispy. I'd try doing it in a skillet or just straight on the baking sheet.

      Made these this morning! So good! I can only get through one though. Probably didn't help that I was snacking on the bacon as I made them lol! Thanks for the recipe!! I'll be making them once a week!

      Are there any other veggies you would recommend besides green onions? I'm just not a fan, but these sound amazing otherwise!!!!! Thanks!

        Hi Rachael, I would just leave the green onions out. You could add in chopped bell pepper if you wish though.

      Actually, “more calm” is also grammatically correct...

      Hi! I want to try these! I'm assuming that a serving is 1 fat bomb?
      Thanks!

        Yes, one serving is one fat bomb.

      Question for you all.

      So based on the servings (8) is one bomb Net. Carbs 2 or 1? If you take your total carbs minus the 1g of fiber then Net is 1. Right?

        One bomb is 1 net carb, hope this helps!

      This was a lot of firsts for me as I'm new to Keto. First time making a recipe from Cast Iron Keto. First time, making a fat bomb. I made them at night and had one for dinner. My son asked me how it was. I said "Heaven!". OMG this was sooooo good. I can't wait to eat one for breakfast tomorrow! I've never cooked with a cast iron skillet before. Do you have a blog post on the basics of using one and the pros?

      Just curious- how did you come up with the 365 calorie number per serving? Looking at the ingredients per serving (1oz cream cheese, .5 egg, couple slices of bacon), I am only calculating around 250 calories/serving.

      Loved these. I added finely chopped green pepper, mushrooms, and cheddar to the inside mixture. Tasted like a little cold pizza bite.

      Why do some chefs have such a hard time being honest about the prep time? This took at least an hour and a half. And I’ve done many many breakfast recipes so I’m not a novice.
