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!

BOTTOM LINE: An egg fast is an extreme, brief version of the keto diet that restricts you to eating mostly eggs, cheese, and butter for 3–5 days. It may promote short-term weight loss, but it risks nutrient deficiencies and weight regain.
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.
Many people on the keto diet enjoy eating sausage for breakfast because it keeps them full until lunchtime. Sausage can be a great keto food because it is high in protein, high in fat, and low in carbs.
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.
It depends how many eggs you eat but unless it's thousands you'll lose about 6 pounds of water in 3–4 days along with about 2 lbs of lean and fat mass as your metabolism switches to burning fat. Over the next 3 days on average, you'd lose about 0.4–0.6 lbs per day, so about a pound and a half of fat.
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.
Bananas. Bananas may be great for muscle recovery, reducing bloat, and calming an upset stomach, but they're on the list of foods you can't eat on the keto diet. With 25g of carbs per 100g serving, bananas are too high in carbs.
Keto fruits by definition are low in carbohydrates. You still need to exercise portion control with most keto-friendly fruits to be within the limits of a keto diet. Keto-friendly fruits include avocados, watermelon, strawberries, lemons, tomatoes, raspberries, peaches, cantaloupe, star fruit, and blackberries.
You can eat high fat foods like cheese on the Keto diet. Cheddar, Gouda, goat cheese, and blue cheese are the best to consider. Cheese to avoid on Keto are cottage cheese and low fat and processed varieties.
Hot dogs are made with ingredients that are naturally low in carbs. An average hot dog is about 1.73 grams of total carbs. As for the bun, you can't have a conventional bun in order to follow the keto diet. The average hot dog bun will cost you 24.3 grams of total carbs.
Nutritionists often consider ribeye steak as the best to consume on the keto diet. This is because of its abundance of healthy fats and protein. 100 grams of ribeye steak, for example, contains 21.8 grams of fat and 23.7 grams of protein.
Conventionally cured bacon contains sugar and preservatives like sodium nitrates and nitrites. On keto, you want to avoid sugars and limit nitrates/nitrites. That's why uncured bacon is a popular choice for a healthy diet.
Bacon is high in fat and protein, which makes it an excellent choice for people on a low-carb diet. To stay in ketosis, you should only eat about 3 ounces of bacon per day. This amount gives you enough fat to stay full while staying within the ketogenic diet's recommended range of macros.
Can You Eat Bacon On a Keto Diet? While you may not think of bacon as diet food, most types of bacon fit perfectly into a keto diet plan since they're low in carbs yet high in protein and fat. That means bacon is perfect for snacking on in the afternoon or mixing into your chicken dinner dish for some extra flavoring.
A 72-hour fast, or fasting for three consecutive days without any food intake, can help your body enter a state of ketosis. Ketosis is a metabolic state in which your body burns stored fat for energy instead of glucose from carbohydrates.
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.
By eating only eggs, butter, and cheese for three days, you can be assured that you are giving your body exactly what it needs (macro and micronutrients) to make the transition. After these three days, most people tend to add in other low-carb foods. There are various low-carb meal plans that you can choose from.
This version of the egg diet requires you to eat one egg and one piece of bread thrice daily. You can also eat as many fruits and vegetables as you like. Beverages allowed include water, black coffee, and other zero-calorie drinks. Eggs can be prepared any way you want as long as no calories are added.
