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.
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.
Yes, all varieties of eggs are keto-friendly. Whether they're boiled, scrambled, or poached, they all have similar nutritional profiles and are low in carbs.
Is there such a thing as too many eggs on a keto diet? The good news is that you can effectively eat as many eggs as you want on a ketogenic diet, as long as they fit your overall calorie and macronutrient requirements. Eggs have a fantastic macro profile nearly identical to the 'ideal' keto ratio.
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.
You do not have to limit vegetables if you are on the keto diet or are considering it. Plenty of low-carb vegetable options include arugula, asparagus, bell peppers, broccoli, Brussels sprouts, cauliflower, kale, mushrooms, spinach, and tomatoes.
While cottage cheese is known for its high protein content, it also contains a relatively high amount of carbs and not that much fat, making it a less-than-ideal choice for keto. A ½-cup serving of cottage cheese contains 88 calories, 2.4 g of fat, 4.5 g of carbs, and 11.6 g of protein, per the USDA.
You can eat a variety of salads on keto, as long as they contain healthy fats and proteins and are low in carbs. Egg salad, grilled chicken salad, shrimp salad, cauliflower salad, arugula salad, cucumber salad, antipasto salad, Greek salad, Caprese salad, and spinach salad are just a few keto-friendly salads to enjoy.
Peanut butter can definitely be part of a keto diet, but it's best to stick to plain options that are free of extra flavors and sweeteners. Almond butter is a good choice, too, and it's slightly lower in carbs. Additionally, you should be mindful of your portion size if you're trying to lose weight.
For most individuals following a keto diet, aiming for 1-3 eggs per day is a reasonable range. However, it's always best to consult with a healthcare professional or dietitian to determine the exact egg intake that aligns with your specific nutritional needs.
The keto egg fast plan rules are to eat 1 tablespoon of fat for each egg consumed and up to one ounce of cheese for each egg consumed. It is normal to eat 6 – 10 eggs per day, but if you are a man or especially active, you might eat even more to ensure you are getting enough protein and calories.
An egg fast is a short-term, restrictive ketogenic diet that includes mainly eggs, cheese, and butter or another fat source. It lasts three to five days and may aid short-term weight loss. Still, it may have potential risks like nutritional deficiencies — particularly if you follow it for longer than advised.
Six eggs a day is a hell of a lot, no matter how you cut it. An egg has 187 mg of cholesterol, and the recommended limit is 300 mg per day—or only 200 mg if you have diabetes or risk factors for heart disease. “You can definitely go with with one egg a day,” says Maxine Smith, R.D., L.D.
