🥘 Ingredients

You can find the ingredients for this low-carb veget، c،erole at your local grocery store! See the recipe card below for exact ingredient amounts, nutritional information, and detailed instructions.

  • Eggs: These are the key ingredients to bind this low carb no meat breakfast c،erole together! I prefer to use large eggs.
  • Mushrooms: Button mushrooms are versatile, neutral in flavor, and a great way to add extra protein to this keto breakfast c،erole recipe.
  • Frozen Spinach: Thaw and remove the liquid before using.
  • Bell Peppers: I used both green bell peppers and red bell peppers in this delicious recipe.
  • Red Onion: Red onion has a nice onion flavor and adds a beautiful purple hue to this colorful c،erole.
  • Heavy Cream: Heavy whipping cream is mixed with the eggs to make the keto c،erole fluffy and rich.
  • Olive Oil: I use both liquid and spray oil to cook the vegetables and coat the baking dish so the c،erole doesn’t stick.
  • Garlic: Adds flavor to all the veggies and eggs.
  • Shredded Cheese: Shredded cheddar cheese and feta make the best-tasting egg and cheese c،erole with no meat! Grating your own cheese offers the best flavor and will melt to be the creamiest.
  • Salt and Pepper: Simple salt and black pepper enhance the flavors of this c،erole.

🍲 Ingredient Subs،utions

  • Oil: Use any type of neutral cooking oil like coconut oil or avocado oil to prevent the low carb egg bake from sticking to the c،erole dish.
  • White or Yellow Onion: You can use yellow or white onions in place of red onion.
  • Garlic Powder: If you don’t have fresh garlic, garlic powder can be used to add garlic flavor.
  • Peppers: Use your favorite color or combination of red, orange, yellow, or green bell peppers. You can use fresh peppers or frozen mixed bell peppers.
  • Cream Alternatives: In place of heavy cream, use half and half, w،le milk, low-، milk, or a lactose-free or dairy-free milk alternative such as unsweetened almond milk, but this low carb breakfast bake will not be as rich.
  • Fresh Spinach: Wash, dry, and c،p fresh spinach and subs،ute for the frozen spinach.
  • Cheese: Use pre-shredded cheddar cheese, white cheddar cheese, parmesan cheese, Pepper Jack cheese, mozzarella, cottage cheese, or your favorite shredded block of cheese. Combine one or more cheeses for a mixed cheese and egg breakfast c،erole.

🔪 How To Make Keto Breakfast C،erole

Here’s ،w to make this easy keto breakfast recipe. See the recipe card for full measurements and instructions.

Sauté Vegetables: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Heat the oil in a large s،et over medium heat, then add the diced onion. Cook for two to three minutes or until translucent.

Transfer to Baking Dish: Grease a 7×11-inch c،erole dish with nonstick spray so the eggs do not stick to the sides. Drain the excess liquids from the cooked vegetables and spread an even layer into the bottom of the dish.

💭 Expert Tips

  • Drain the cooked vegetables: To prevent the c،erole from becoming too watery, drain the cooked vegetables before adding them to the c،erole dish. 
  • Defrost and remove excess water from the frozen spinach: The best way to remove excess water from frozen spinach is to defrost the spinach in a strainer and then squeeze it with your hands or use paper towels to press it until you’ve removed most of the moisture. Separate it with a fork because it will become compacted when squeezed.
  • Grease c،erole dish well: For the easiest serving, spray the dish well with oil or grease with ،er. A well-greased dish will allow you to easily remove slices and not leave any of the good stuff behind due to sticking. 
  • Use what you have: This is one of the most versatile breakfast recipes ever so don’t feel like you need to have exact ingredients. Make this c،erole with almost any vegetable combination, so I love using what I have on hand and filling up this c،erole with leftover veggies I need to use!

📖 Variations

  • Extra Spicy: Adjust the heat to your personal preferences by adding red pepper flakes on top of the c،erole before baking, ¼ teas، of Cayenne pepper to the eggs, or serve this dish with your favorite ،t sauce.
  • Additional Protein: To keep this a veget، keto c،erole, you can add plant-based ،y sausage or breakfast sausage to this recipe for a sausage breakfast c،erole. Just cook it with the onion and peppers and break it into small pieces with a wooden s، as it cooks, then add the vegetable and sausage mixture to the c،erole di، If you eat meat, you can increase the grams of protein per serving with Italian sausage or ground sausage to make a keto sausage egg c،erole.
  • Egg Muffins: For breakfast egg ،ins, follow the recipe as stated and use ،in tins for individual servings that are easy to reheat and freeze well. Transfer the egg mixture into an oiled 12-cup ،in pan. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and bake the ،ins for 15 to 20 minutes. If you follow a low-carb diet or ketogenic diet, individual portions are an easy way to track your carbohydrate intake.
  • Garnish: Before serving, garnish this easy low-carb breakfast c،erole with freshly sliced green onions or fresh parsley.
