I particularly like this eggcellent (keto-friendly) overnight breakfast bake recipe because it doesn’t contain bread like most egg-based
I also like this recipe because the ingredients are so keto-friendly, it can be varied to accommodate what you have on hand, and it always seems to be delicious. If you’re following the keto diet, just remember to choose versions of meat, cheese, and vegetables that you would choose for your keto diet.
For the meat, you can use cooked bacon, ham, or breakfast sausage that has been crumbled or diced.
For the cheese, you can use cheddar, swiss, gruyere, or whatever you think would be tasty.
And for the vegetables, you can use any combination of onion, pepper, broccoli, spinach, etc. that sounds good with the meat and cheese you’ve chosen.
We like bacon, cheddar, pepper, and onion; or the version shown in the photos is bacon, swiss, broccoli, and onion. Basically, any omelet or quiche combination that you enjoy can be made into an easy crowd-pleaser with this recipe!
This tuna stuffed avocado recipe is also delicious and keto-friendly.
