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.
Eggs are keto-friendly and safe to eat when you're on the ketogenic diet. Eggs are low in carbs while containing high amounts of protein and healthy fats. You can have 6 to 7 eggs every day while on the keto diet.
Try adding a balance of fresh vegetables, cheese, fresh herbs, and seasoning. Some delicious variations include tomatoes and Cheddar cheese, asparagus, chives, and goat cheese, or bacon, sautéed onion, and Gruyere.
Can you use egg whites on keto? Egg whites are almost pure protein, with little to no fat or carbohydrates. So they are a great option for keto and low carb diets. They also help add structure to many keto bread recipes and cakes.
For scrambled eggs, Oprah uses thyme, oregano or chives—whatever's freshest in her herb garden. In a bowl, beat the egg whites and the yolk. Add the herbs and scallion, and season with salt and pepper. Spray a nonstick omelet pan with cooking spray, heat the pan to medium, and pour in the eggs.
Caffeine can increase metabolism and help get to ketosis faster. Still, this can look different for certain people. But wait, the bad news is coming. If you're somebody who can't drink coffee without adding a bunch of creamers, sugar, or other flavorful additions, this won't work out for you.
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.
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.
Dried herb scramble: Mix in 1⁄4 to 1⁄2 teaspoon of dried herbs, such as oregano, thyme, marjoram, and basil. Meat scramble: Add 1⁄4 cup of crumbled cooked bacon or sausage (you may need to add less salt to the eggs if you use one of these salty meats).
Spray a plate with non-stick cooking spray (or, alternatively, heat the empty plate in the microwave for two minutes and then swirl some butter on it). Crack your egg onto the plate. Microwave on high for about 45 seconds.
Eggs can be enjoyed as part of a healthy, balanced diet. But, while you can eat as many eggs as you want on a keto diet, we would recommend limiting yourself to no more than 6 to 7 eggs per week. The more important lesson we can extract is that eggs are excellent for a ketogenic diet.
All types of cheese are allowed on the keto diet, as cheese is relatively low in carbohydrate, which complies with the key principle of the keto diet. The Ketogenic diet or “keto” diet is a low carbohydrate and high fat eating plan.
A Keto egg fast is a super-restrictive form of the Keto diet. On an egg fast, you eat all of your calories from eggs, full-fat cheese, butter, and healthy oils. The macros work out to about 60-70% fat, 20-30% protein, and under 5% carbohydrates. This macro ratio promotes the fat-burning state called ketosis.
Season with freshly ground black pepper and garnish with chives or green onions. Serve immediately. Note: Kala namak black salt is a sulfurous salt that adds an extra eggy flavor.
Many scrambled egg recipes tell you to add a pour of heavy cream, half-and-half, or whole milk. The idea is that these ingredients improve the flavor (dairy tastes good), tenderness (the fat in the dairy interrupts the proteins in the eggs), and fluffiness (the water in the dairy puffs into steam).
Season at the end - don't season your egg too early. Salt can break down the egg making it watery, so wait until they are done before adding your seasoning.
