Keto Egg Bake in skillet

We love an easy breakfast and this low-carb breakfast casserole (AKA Keto Egg Bake for the Google Gods 😉 ) is one of our go-to’s!

Our version here is keto-friendly, gluten-free, and perfect for the keto diet.

Ingredients in this Keto Egg Bake

  • 8 strips of bacon, cut into small pieces and cooked
  • 3 tablespoons bacon grease reserved from cooking the bacon 
  • ½ yellow onion, diced – about 4 oz
  • 1 bell pepper of choice, diced we used half a red bell pepper, and half of a green bell pepper 
  • 8 ounces cremini mushrooms, thinly sliced  
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt 
  • ½ teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons Italian seasoning, divided 
  • 12 large eggs
  • ½ cup half and half or heavy cream
  • 12 ounces shredded cheese (your choice – we used 6 oz mozzarella and 6 oz cheddar)
  • Green onions to garnish, optional 

How to make this keto egg bake

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F. Preheat a 12” cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add your raw bacon bits to the pan, and cook until browned, about 7-10 minutes. Once cooked, remove from the skillet, and remove all but 3 tablespoons of rendered bacon grease in the skillet. 
  2. Add your onion, bell peppers, and mushrooms to the pan with a pinch of salt, pepper, and about half of the Italian seasoning. Cook until vegetables are slightly softened, about 3-5 minutes. Add in the garlic, and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Remove from heat and set aside to cool.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, half and half, some salt, pepper, and the remaining Italian seasoning. Pour the egg mixture over the vegetable mixture, and stir in the cheese and bacon bits. Transfer to the oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, until cooked through. Allow to cool for a few minutes in the skillet, top with green onions if desired and enjoy!

Key FAQ’s

  • Yes, you can use a baking dish or casserole dish instead of a cast-iron skillet. You could also bake the mixture in muffin tins for a single-serve on-the-go or meal-prep option!
  • You can make this recipe dairy-free by swapping the half and half for plain unsweetened almond milk and using a dairy-free cheese.
  • You can add cooked sausage to the bake, feel free to make it your own!

One of our favorite salsas has always been the taqueria-style jalapeño sauce that’s sometimes served with street-style tacos at your local Mexican restaurant. It’s richer than a salsa fresca or pico de gallo and is super creamy from the cooked jalapeños. We love the richness of it and it goes so well with so many things. The recipe can be found via the link in our bio 😉 ⁠

If you have our cookbook, have you tried this recipe out of the Meatless Monday chapter? If not, we hope you do, even if you’re more omnivore than plant-based. Why? Because they are simply delicious!⁠
⁠
The combination of the crumbled walnuts, tender cauliflower, and smoky chipotle peppers in adobo sauce create a filling that, while it resembles ground beef, is much more layered in flavors.⁠
⁠
The toppings are completely up to you, these are just our go-to’s. Some type of creamy sauce would be delicious too. Maybe a bit of dairy-free (or regular) sour cream mixed with a bit of extra chipotle in adobo? Yes, that sounds just perfect. You can grab the recipe link in our bio!⁠

Are you a mushroom fan? We are! 🍄 We especially Are you a mushroom fan? We are! 🍄 We especially love wild mushrooms but this easy meal of Balsamic Mushrooms with Herbed Veggie Mash is great with your run-of-the-mill creminis which are easy to find at any grocery store. If you have access to other mushroom varieties, we love Maitake in this recipe too.⁠
⁠
The veggie mash is basically our Keto Mashed Cauliflower, we adore this recipe and use it for so many things. It really is perfection. Even if you’re not usually a fan of cauliflower, you’ll love it. And, yes, we know that’s what all the food bloggers say but we promise it’s true!⁠
⁠
Obviously, this recipe is pretty low-calorie so if you’re wanting to bump it up a bit, try serving this as a side with some protein. Tempeh and tofu are the obvious choices for plant-based folks or for omnivores, chicken or steak would be our go-to’s. If you serve this as a main or a side, either way, we bet you’ll love it!⁠

With the world in chaos, it's so hard to stay focu With the world in chaos, it's so hard to stay focused. Do you feel the same? With our neighborhood seeing multiple crimes from break-ins, a kidnapping, and carjackings in the past week, the heartbreaking situation in Ukraine, Texas's ambivalence towards human rights, and the ongoing pandemic, times are bleak. But there's also beauty and comfort. For us, beauty was found in a walk around our neighborhood admiring the blooming trees ready for spring (swipe for photos), and comfort found in nourishing meals that feed our bodies as well as our souls. If you missed our new recipe last week, we shared this vegetable soup from our cookbook. It's loaded with veggies and is super comforting to us, reminding us of the vegetable soup we ate as kids, maybe it will be comforting to you too. Our thoughts are with humanity as a whole, may we remember that we're all the same and we all deserve peace.
