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 ½ 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
- 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.
- 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.
- 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!
