The post 35 “Egg-scellent” Keto Egg Recipes appeared first on Keto Summit.
Rarely a day goes by that I don’t have eggs. Packed with protein and incredibly versatile, eggs are my idea of a true superfood.
But don’t take my word for it – experts agree! Registered Nutritionist Jo Lewin, RNutr says, “Eggs are rich in several nutrients that promote heart health such as betaine and choline.”
And Registered Dietitian McKel Hill, RDN notes that eggs offer a good dose of protein and fat first thing in the morning. “The best thing about combining protein and fat in one food? It’ll keep you fuller for longer—and you get a good amount of both macronutrients from eggs. A hearty breakfast, featuring eggs, will help stabilize your energy levels and keep you feeling full until lunchtime.”
This list of 35 Keto egg recipes shows how easy they are to include in almost every meal. Whether fried, poached, boiled, or scrambled, this list has a Keto-friendly egg recipe for any occasion.

Keto Eggs – Breakfast
Paleo Kale and Chives Egg Muffins
– Paleo Flourish
Ingredients: eggs, almond or coconut milk, kale, chives, salt, pepper, prosciutto (optional).
Here is another great versatile recipe for a simple and tasty breakfast! They can be made as the recipe states, or you can line the muffin cups with prosciutto for an even better flavor. Don’t worry if the family don’t want kale for breakfast – you can swap it for spinach which a lot of people find easier to eat.
Tea Eggs (Cha Dan)
– Paleo Flourish
Ingredients: eggs, tea bags, sea salt, star anise, cinnamon, Szechuan peppercorns, black pepper, tamari sauce or coconut aminos (optional), water.
This recipe is based on Asian cuisine and usually includes the use of soy sauce, but if you are eating soy-free, this is the best way to experience these beautiful eggs without the additives. Imagine serving these at a party to impress your friends! Everyone will be intrigued to find out how you did this. To crack the egg shells, simply tap one side to break it then roll the eggs between your palms to continue the cracking effect all over.
Keto 2-Ingredient Muffins
– Keto Summit
Ingredients: whole nuts (hazelnuts or almonds), eggs, stevia, spices (optional).
With only two ingredients, this recipe must be one of the simplest ever! The muffins are tasty just as they are, but you can adapt the recipe to suit your needs. If you would like a hint of chocolate in your muffins, add in some sweetener and cocoa powder, or use different nuts to change the taste. You can even make them savory by adding cooked bacon pieces.
Perfect Scrambled Eggs
– Paleo Flourish
Ingredients: eggs, coconut oil, salt, pepper.
If you have ever been served scrambled eggs in a hotel or restaurant, you have probably experienced the solid mass of cooked egg that can literally be sliced! Well here is what real scrambled egg should be like. The egg should not be a solid lump, but soft and succulent and a perfect addition to any cooked breakfast. Give it a try and you will discover they are actually quite easy to make!
How To Cook Over Easy Eggs
– Paleo Flourish
Ingredients: egg, coconut oil or avocado oil.
Sometimes we need someone to show us how to cook simple things – they don’t come already programmed in! So if you like your eggs over easy this recipe and video will show you a neat trick to get them to turn out just as you like them every time! Over easy eggs can be served with bacon for breakfast, placed on top of a salad or burger, or just enjoyed on their own!
Guacamole Topped Scrambled Eggs Breakfast
– Paleo Flourish
Ingredients: eggs, coconut oil, guacamole, salt.
This is a quick and easy breakfast to make, ideal for those of you who are short of time in the morning. Using guacamole increases the level of healthy fats in this dish and although the combination of guacamole and eggs may be a little unusual, give it a try – you will be surprised just how tasty it is! To give this a special look you could sprinkle on some paprika at the end.
Spring Soup Recipe with Poached Egg
– Paleo Flourish
Ingredients: eggs, chicken broth, romaine lettuce, salt.
This soup is reminiscent of Asian soups and makes the perfect choice for a light and tasty breakfast, lunch or dinner! If you are not sure about soup at breakfast time then we suggest you try this one as it has a freshness and flavor that can set you up for the morning. If you prefer, you could add in some spices or herbs, but it is delicious as it is.

If you are trying to increase the level of omega 3 in your diet, then here is the ideal recipe for you to try for a healthy and tasty breakfast. Because of the high levels of fiber in this dish, this is also a great starter for a busy day as it will keep you going till lunch and boost your energy levels. They are easy and quick to prepare and take just enough time to cook that by the time you are dressed and ready to go, so are they!

This dish is totally packed with goodness! You have all the vitamins and minerals from the eggs and a healthy dose of Omega 3 from the sardines, so if you need a nutritious breakfast before a busy day, this is the dish for you! Sardines are also quite cheap to buy, so this would be a great meal if you are living on a budget.

Ingredients: ham, onion, fresh parsley, kosher salt, ground black pepper, garlic powder, grated parmesan cheese, sugar-free mayonnaise, almond flour, eggs.
Presentation is something that most of us forget about at breakfast, but it can make food look so much better. So why not try these wonderful eggs in their neat little ham nests? It doesn’t matter what shape you make them, they will still be delicious, and you don’t need to eat them for breakfast – I can see these being packed for a picnic or in a lunchbox too!
Eggs in a Cloud w/ Chorizo, Cilantro & Manchego (Contains Dairy)
– I Breathe I’m Hungry

Ingredients: eggs, chorizo, cilantro, scallions, finely grated cheese.
It is so helpful to find a recipe for a new way to cook everyday ingredients and it can keep you on target because you don’t get fed up with the same dish every time. This dish looks complicated but it’s not! This is also an adaptable recipe since you can change the chorizo for any sausage, bacon or even smoked salmon – the choice is yours!
Smoked Salmon Scrambled Eggs (Contains Dairy)
– Ditch the Carbs

Ingredients: butter, leafy greens, eggs, full-fat cream, smoked salmon, cream cheese, salt, pepper.
Smoked salmon can be sourced at much lower prices these days so you could indulge in this rich and luxurious dish when you want to impress! Salmon is a fish full of healthy fats and tastes amazing when served with eggs. This dish is also packed with protein so it is very filling and would definitely keep you going until lunchtime. I like to serve this on a bed of wilted spinach.
Green Eggs and Bacon
– Beauty and The Foodie

Ingredients: eggs, bacon, fresh cilantro, garlic, butter, olive oil (optional), sea salt, avocado.
I was quite relieved that it’s not the eggs that are green, that bit comes from the pesto-like dressing which is full of flavor from the cilantro and garlic and makes a great partner for the eggs and bacon. If you are serving this for breakfast and decide to have avocado slices, you might like to try frying them first to make them even more creamy.
Eggstraordinary Lox Benedict

Ingredients: wild smoked salmon, poached eggs, lamb’s lettuce/mache or arugula or spinach, capers, red onion, tomato slices, sea salt, pepper, ghee or butter, egg yolks, water, freshly squeezed lemon juice, cayenne pepper.
Smoked salmon and eggs go so well together and give you a protein-packed meal to start the day. Although this recipe calls for 2 ounces of fish, if the smoked salmon is sliced thinly it will definitely be enough for a tasty breakfast. I like to use wilted spinach as the greens with this, but you can use whatever greens you have. Along with the tomato and creamy sauce, this is a taste sensation!
Egg Bhurji (Indian Scrambled Eggs)
– My Heart Beets

Ingredients: eggs, salt, black pepper, paprika, cilantro leaves, oil, onion, serrano pepper, fresh ginger, red bell pepper.
Don’t you just love it when food has loads of color and looks as good as it tastes? The peppers and cilantro make this dish look amazing and the ginger adds a bit of a kick. If you like Indian spices, you can even add some garam masala or a little curry powder to boost the Indian favors even more. And you are not restricted to breakfast – this dish can also be served with greens or a salad for a filling but light lunch.
Spaghetti Squash Carbonara (Contains Dairy)
– Peace Love and Low Carb

Ingredients: spaghetti squash, olive oil, pancetta, onion, garlic, fresh parsley, parmesan cheese, sea salt, black pepper.
Carbonara is normally a dish involving creamy sauce with spaghetti and ham, and this dish can be just as tasty as the traditional one. Give this recipe a try next time you are entertaining, as it will really impress!
Easy Poached Eggs

Ingredients: large fresh eggs.
I don’t know why, but poaching eggs are something that has scared me for a long time! If you feel the same then follow the instructions in this recipe and you will never need to be scared of them again. My Grandmother used to put a spoon of vinegar into the water to help set the whites, but I think this way is much better. The eggs stay in shape with no straggly bits!

– The Healthy Foodie

This is pure meatiness in a bowl – a fantastic way to fill you up in the morning and give you the energy to get through a busy day! Don’t worry if you or your family members are not keen on olives – just leave them out or swap them for a different ingredient. This recipe can even be served on lettuce wraps for a simple lunchtime snack.
Keto Eggs – Lunch/Dinner
Green Buttered Eggs
– The Nourished Caveman

Ingredients: butter, coconut oil, garlic, fresh thyme leaves, fresh cilantro, fresh parsley, eggs, ground cumin, ground cayenne, sea salt.
Here is another useful recipe for eggs with greens which would be perfect for breakfast on St. Patrick’s Day. Garlic and eggs are great together and the whole dish is set off by the bed of greens. If you don’t like cilantro you can use spinach instead and this would raise the amount of iron in the dish. The cumin gives the eggs a slight earthiness which goes well with the greens too.
Buttery Asiago Baked Eggs (Contains Dairy)
– Low Carb Yum

Ingredients: butter, eggs, Asiago cheese.
Asiago cheese can have a range of flavor, depending on the age of the cheese, so if you like it mild, buy a young cheese or use aged Asiago for a parmesan flavor. However you like it, the cheese gives a lovely topping to the buttery eggs. This makes a great breakfast but you could eat this at any time! Feel free to experiment with different cheeses to change the flavor!
Chicken Salad Picnic Eggs
– Wicked Stuffed

Ingredients: eggs, chicken, mayonnaise, dijon mustard, onion, celery salt, dill, lemon pepper seasoning, old bay seasoning.
Here is a slant on deviled eggs that can be served for breakfast, lunch or even as finger food for a party! The seasonings give a bit of a kick to the chicken salad and these would be a great way to use up leftover chicken from a roast. Lemon salt is not available everywhere, but you can get it online and it is well worth it as it adds a special boost to the flavor.
Balsamic Flat Iron Steak And Eggs (Contains Dairy)
– Peace, Love and Low Carb
Photo Credit: Kyndra from Peace Love and Low Carb
Ingredients: flat iron steak, balsamic vinegar, olive oil, onion, mushrooms, garlic, eggs, sour cream, garlic salt, onion powder, Italian seasoning, red pepper flakes.
Steak and eggs have long been enjoyed by people everywhere, but for many athletes this was recommended to give them a protein boost before training. So if you need more protein try this wonderful combination! Confused by flat iron steak? In the UK it is known as shoulder steak and is a cut of beef from the chuck region of the animal.
Low Carb Italian Eggs In Purgatory (Contains Dairy)
– Beauty and The Foodie
Photo Credit: Stacey from Beauty and the Foodie
Ingredients: sausage, zucchini, onion, red bell pepper, garlic, tomato puree or sauce, fresh basil leaves, olive oil, dried oregano, sea salt, pepper, eggs, Italian parsley (optional), parmesan (optional).
This dish is full of Italian flavors from the garlic, basil and oregano and is another recipe that gets veggie-dodging kids to eat healthy! You can use your favorite sausage in this dish, but I tried it with chorizo and it was a disaster – too much oil from the sausage meat and it overpowered everything else. I just love one-pot wonders like this! Probably because I am lazy and don’t like washing up!
Hamburger & Kale w/ Poached Eggs
– Cavegirl Cuisine
Photo Credit: Michelle from Cavegirl Cuisine
Ingredients: kale, hamburger, vidalia onion, baby bella mushrooms, vegetable broth, sea salt, eggs.
If you can manage to poach the eggs so the yolks are still soft then you will be able to use these as a ‘sauce’ that runs over the burgers! The kale, meat and mushrooms make these burgers a filling and satisfying meal that will keep you going for ages. This dish has the feel of comfort food – perfect on a cold day. Don’t worry if you can’t get baby mushrooms, since you can just use what you have.
Paleo Baked Eggs With Nutritional Yeast
– Ditch the Wheat

Ingredients: spinach, bacon, onions, nutritional yeast (optional), eggs, salt, pepper.
This is a very impressive dish which you can serve for breakfast or lunch. Baked eggs are so easy to cook and cut down on the mess you get with frying – just keep an eye on them as they cook so you don’t get rock-hard eggs when you wanted runny ones! If you tolerate cheese you can sub that for the nutritional yeast, but it does give this meal a cheesy taste.
Vegetable Hash with Eggs (Contains Dairy)
– Healy Eats Real

Ingredients: butter, onion, garlic, turmeric, parsley, pepper, broccoli, kale, tomato sauce or diced tomatoes, eggs, parmesan cheese, salt, pepper.
Here is a recipe that you can use to get more kale into your family’s diet without making it an issue as the broccoli and onion make it less earthy and more palatable. You are using turmeric here and it has been proved to be helpful with digestive problems, so this dish is good for you as well as being delicious! If you don’t tolerate cheese just omit the parmesan.
If you’re loving the health benefits of turmeric but don’t see yourself eating it every day, consider trying our Turmeric Soothe supplement.
Keto Eggs – Other
Keto Bacon Asparagus Mini Frittatas
– Keto Summit
Ingredients: asparagus, bacon, onions, eggs, coconut milk, salt, pepper.
Mini foods are so appealing to look at and these frittatas are no different. They are great served warm for breakfast, can be carried to work for a tasty lunch or simply enjoyed as a snack. Children are also keen to try mini foods, so these can be a good way to get them eating more healthily. If you are not too keen on the taste of asparagus, you could use green beans instead.
Deviled Eggs
– A Girl Worth Saving

Ingredients: hard-boiled egg, mayo, onion powder, turmeric, dijon mustard, paprika.
I remember these little beauties from my childhood, when my Mom would make a plate of these wonderful eggy snacks when we had guests over the holidays! Hers were made with cheese and egg yolk, but the ones in this recipe are even tastier! The Dijon mustard gives them a little kick and the wonderful color comes from the yolk and the turmeric. Then just decorate with a little paprika to make them pretty!
Spicy Keto Deviled Eggs without Mayo
– Low Carb Yum
Photo Credit: Lisa from Low Carb Yum
Ingredients: eggs, avocado, bacon, lime juice, habanero pepper, garlic powder, ground cayenne pepper, sea salt, jalapeño (optional).
In this recipe the mayonnaise is replaced by avocado, which gives the filling in the eggs the same smooth quality you get from traditional ones with mayo. The avocado gives the filling a green tint so I tend to make these for St. Patrick’s Day, but they would be great as an appetizer for a dinner or as snack food to serve on game night.
Bacon-Wrapped Scotch Eggs With Hollandaise And Asparagus (Contains Dairy)
– Peace, Love and Low Carb
Photo Credit: Kyndra from Peace Love and Low Carb
Ingredients: ground pork sausage, thick cut bacon, eggs, sharp cheddar cheese.
Scotch eggs can seem like a lot of work for a fairly simple food, but trust me, if you try making these at home you won’t look back! They are full of flavor and goodness and would be great as an appetizer, a filling snack or for lunch, or you can make them into a full meal by adding vegetables like asparagus or green beans. I have even used quail eggs and made tiny ones for parties!
Smoked Sausage Frittata with Spinach & Mushrooms
– Ketogasm

Ingredients: spinach, ghee, mushrooms, smoked sausage uncured, garlic, salt, pepper, eggs.
Frittata can be a fantastic breakfast dish that is filling and so tasty and can be adaptable to suit your taste or store cupboard. This one uses smoked sausage for a boost of flavor but you can use whatever sausage you like. This is a great dish for getting vegetables into picky kids too, just chop the veggies smaller – sneaky, I know!
BLT Deviled Eggs
– Ketogasm

Ingredients: eggs, bacon, mayonnaise, sun-dried tomatoes, green onion, salt, pepper.
Deviled eggs are so popular because they are little bundles of flavor and are very easy to eat. These ones have the added treat of including bacon bits, which are set off well by the green onions and sun-dried tomato. The recipe calls for mayonnaise, but if you wanted to keep this dairy-free you could use avocado instead as it gives the same creamy texture.
Keto Paleo Scotch Eggs
– Ditch the Carbs
Photo Credit: Libby from Ditch The Carbs
Ingredients: boiled eggs, ground/minced pork or beef, or lamb, herbs (optional), onion flakes (optional), salt, pepper.
Scotch eggs are very versatile and totally portable so are a great dish for breakfast, lunch, picnics and parties! This recipe is also adaptable as you can theme the finished product. For example, use Italian sausage meat and add in some fresh basil, or use ground pork and chicken and add some rosemary. The choices are endless, so once you master making these you can change it up a bit!
Truffled Deviled Eggs
– Clean Eating with a Dirty Mind

Ingredients: eggs, bacon, mayonnaise, white truffle oil, bacon drippings, Dijon mustard, salt, pepper, chives.
These little beauties are the height of luxury as they involve using truffle oil, so they would be great for a celebration or party. The Dijon mustard adds a little bit of heat to the filling and the bacon bits make a lovely garnish. If you are making these to impress, you can use a piping bag to fill the egg halves, but if you don’t have one you can simply use a spoon.
Bacon & Olive Quiche
– Cook Eat Paleo
Photo Credit: Lisa from Cook Eat Paleo
Ingredients: coconut oil, bacon, bell peppers, onion, spinach, tomatoes, eggs, olives, fresh basil leaves, garlic, coconut cream, salt, pepper.
This quiche has notes of Italian cuisine thanks to the olives and fresh basil and makes a tasty lunch or dinner. You could even add in some Italian seasoning for a more authentic flavor. If the bacon you use is quite salty, taste the mixture before adding the salt and pepper to make sure it is not over-seasoned. This is great as it is or served with a fresh green salad, and can be portable in lunchboxes too.
