Creamy Baked Eggs
I love how quick and hands off this breakfast meal is to make. It takes a couple of minutes to add all the ingredients to the ramekin, then you can have a shower and get ready for work while they cook away in the oven. The perfect easy weekday breakfast that really feels like a special and delicious meal.
Another thing I love about this meal is that I usually have all of these ingredients on hand, so I don’t need to be buying anything special. If you don’t have parmesan cheese? No worries, you could use another hard cheese like cheddar, that you have on hand. Don’t have any fresh chives? No worries, you can use any fresh herbs or even dried herbs. Whatever works for you!
Eggs
I love eggs. To me, they are the perfect food. A comment I see all the time, is “I am over eggs, what else can I eat?” I won’t lie, I have a little internal thought – Are you crazy? How can you be sick of eggs. I would eat eggs most days. I love fried eggs the best and my standard breakfast is 2 fried eggs with some form of side, like bacon, avo or mushrooms.
Are eggs the perfect keto food? Let’s investigate.
First, let’s look at the macro breakdown of 1 whole raw 60g egg. (source of macronutrient data – foodstandards.gov.au)
- Calories – 76
- Protein – 7.6g
- Fat – 5.1g
- Total carbs 0.2g
Without getting too technical, they also pack some great vitamins and minerals into that one little 60g egg.
In my opinion, the thing that makes them the perfect food is I can eat them without worrying about carbs, they are really easy to cook and incorporate into your meals. I will often top a meal like our keto chilli with a fried egg if I am feeling hungry. I also know they will fill me up and keep me feeling satisfied.

Tips
- This recipe serves one, but you can easily make multiple serves at once in seperate ramekins.
- This is a great option to prepare in advance if you are hosting a breakfast or brunch, just prepare the egg and cream mixture ahead of time and bake them when you are ready to serve.
- It is best to serve the eggs as soon as they are finished cooking as they will continue to cook as they sit out of the oven and the yolks can quickly go from runny to hard.
- the cooking time for this recipe is so the egg yolks are still a little runny. if you like a hard yolk, you may want to cook them for a little longer.
Suggestions
- You can vary the fresh herbs you add to your baked eggs, parsley or dill would be delicious too.
- In addition to the fresh chives you can also add some of your favourite dried herbs and spices like garlic powder, chilli flakes or Italian herbs. The flavour options are endless really!
