How To Make Keto Ground Beef Baked Eggs
Were going for basic, gluten-free, budget ingredients to minimize time spent in the kitchen. The recipe calls for 80/20 ground beef to increase the number of fats to stay in ketosis.
Usually, I limit all canned foods from my keto diet plan, but today we’re using tinned chopped tomatoes for convenience. However, feel free to use fresh tomatoes and finely chop.
Four large free-range organic eggs. Adjust the amount as necessary, depending on your serving size.
Other minor ingredients are a small onion and scallion. The number of carbs is almost negligible if factoring in the serving size but omit them if you are aiming for a super low carb meal.
The recipe is also cooked in a small amount of butter to increase healthy fats.
Give yourself just 20 minutes to prepare and enjoy for breakfast, lunch, or dinner to hit your keto macros.
Heat 1 tablespoon of butter and fry the ground beef until it starts to brown. Add the onion and scallion and stir.
Add the chopped tomatoes and combine thoroughly. Simmer for 10-15 minutes or until everything is fully cooked.
Crack 4 large eggs into each section of the skillet or frying pan.
Cook for a couple of minutes to leave the egg yolks runny. Divide into quarters and serve immediately.
As the recipe contains four eggs, you can divide the recipe into quarters to make four servings.
Feel free to enjoy the recipe without the onion or scallion, as we all know onions are not really keto-friendly.
As we are only using one small onion for four servings to enhance the flavor, the number of carbs you consume are negligible.
There are countless variations to the recipe. You could add some mushrooms, spinach, or other low carb veggies to suit your taste buds.
