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).

These look great! What’s is the warning recommendation?
Alex Lester says
Hi Sophie, these are meant to be eaten cold.
Liv says
So, do you not cook these?? Like the egg and cream mix?
Alex Lester says
Hi Liv, the eggs are hardboiled so they are already cooked when you mix them with the cream cheese.
Darlene Herman says
Do you recommend just keeping in refrigerater for the week or freezing?
Alex Lester says
Refrigerate!
Tina says
Can u freeze? A few friends and I r making bombs weekly and dividing. Are they really only good for 4 days ?
Alex Lester says
I haven't tried freezing these, since they are eggs, cheese, and bacon 4 days is the max I would hold onto them.
Autumn says
I'd eat all of them. So none to go in the fridge 😂
Victoria R. says
What temperature do you bake your bacon @ for how long?
Alex Lester says
We have a whole how-to - https://www.castironketo.net/blog/oven-bacon
Linda says
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?
Alex Lester says
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.
Cari says
Hi Alex, are these tablespoon size?
Alex Lester says
A little bigger, probably 2-3 tablespoons.
Kelly says
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!
K says
Just made these with scrambled eggs instead! Amazing! And sooo simple. Will definitely make these all the time.
Rachael Morford says
Are there any other veggies you would recommend besides green onions? I'm just not a fan, but these sound amazing otherwise!!!!! Thanks!
Alex Lester says
Hi Rachael, I would just leave the green onions out. You could add in chopped bell pepper if you wish though.
Francine says
I made these and added a touch of cayenne pepper to give them a little zing. They are awesome! Definitely will be my go to breakfast for the work week. Thanks!
Francesca says
Actually, “more calm” is also grammatically correct...
Robert McKeown says
These are flat awesome! I've added a little chopped mushroom to mine.
Susan says
Hi! I want to try these! I'm assuming that a serving is 1 fat bomb?
Thanks!
Cast Iron Keto says
Yes, one serving is one fat bomb.
Larry Schodroski says
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?
Cast Iron Keto says
One bomb is 1 net carb, hope this helps!
Tabitha Hileman says
Great flavor! Fast and easy to go!
Veera says
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?
Mark says
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.
Renee Lowry says
Loved these. I added finely chopped green pepper, mushrooms, and cheddar to the inside mixture. Tasted like a little cold pizza bite.
Ben M. says
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.
Kate M says
These are also GREAT with crispy pepperoni!!
Rita Nixon says
This is yum yum yummy
