Spinach and Feta Egg Muffins or Frittata

January 26, 2020 By elviira 2 Comments

Egg muffins are handy low-carb and keto munchies. You can grab one — or as many as you need — for breakfast, lunch, dinner, or snack. Egg muffins are also great while traveling, and you can pop them quickly in a lunchbox or snack box. Or, bake them as minim muffins for a perfect party snack.

And the best part is that you can vary them endlessly, using different ingredients – even leftovers – or seasonings. As you see, egg muffins are great for all occasions! And not only muffins: you can make a frittata in a skillet in case you are not into heating your oven.

This recipe uses the fabulous combo of spinach and feta cheese. With less than 0.5 grams net carbs per muffin, these goodies are a great fit even to the tightest keto. Grab one and enjoy!

This low-carb and keto breakfast casserole comes in handy when you need a really satisfying breakfast. It’s also perfect for a lazy weekend brunch with your loved ones. You can prepare the casserole even a day or two before: it becomes still better when reheated. Or just prepare it oven-ready, place in the fridge overnight and pop in the oven in the morning.

This keto breakfast casserole is just the perfect way to start the morning. All the sausage, cheese, cream, and eggs provide richness to keep you satiated while fresh tomatoes lend a crisp, fruity boost to balance out all that hearty feeling. I love to top the casserole with fresh oregano that grows wild in my herb garden even in the middle of the cold Finnish fall!

Easy 4-Ingredient Keto Mug Bread

May 27, 2018 By elviira 70 Comments

I’ve done lots of keto mug bread experiments. I posted one recipe, which was pretty close to this one, on Facebook a couple of years ago. But that recipe contained flaxseed, which I don’t use anymore because there are so many problems with it (see below!), so I use chia seeds in this recipe instead. They lend a delicious crunch to this easy-to-make 90-second keto bread.

Easy Egg Gratin with Sriracha Sauce

February 11, 2018 By elviira 6 Comments

First of all, I want to thank Gladys — my dear friend and reader — for this wonderful recipe idea. She sent me an old Hard Boiled Eggs Gratin recipe that was found in a wooden trunk which had been hidden away in the corner of a dusty attic for generations.

I was immediately intrigued with egg gratin; it sounded like a perfect idea and looked gorgeous. Actually, I made several experiments when perfecting the recipe — you can read more about them in this post. This variation is my absolute favorite, though, because it’s so tasty: Sriracha (or homemade Sugar-Free Sweet Chili Sauce) is a great companion for this easy, nearly-zero-carb egg gratin.

Bacon and Eggs on a Cloud

May 19, 2017 By elviira 6 Comments

Last week, I learned that Eggs on a Cloud is a kinda Instagram hit now — my husband showed me an article in a German online magazine. You know Eggs on a Cloud? Where you place a whole egg yolk on top of stiff-beaten egg whites, looking like the bright-colored yolk is floating on a soft, white cloud? The idea is certainly fascinating, and I immediately got several ideas of how to vary and improve the basic recipe, naturally keeping it still simple.

In this post, you will find my experiments and variations as well as the ultimate, super-scrumptious Bacon and Eggs on a Cloud recipe! You couldn’t imagine how simple this tasty and practically zero-carb dish actually is!

Bacon Wrapped Camembert with Walnuts and How to Make Bacon Weave

August 30, 2016 By elviira 5 Comments

I don’t know if this beauty is breakfast, lunch, or dinner, but I do know that it’s damn delicious and really low in carbs! I came up with this scrumptious creation a week ago when pondering stuff you can wrap in bacon (is there anything you CANNOT wrap in bacon!?).

Combining sweet and savory flavors as well as different textures — soft cheese and crunchy nuts in this case — creates the ultimate enjoyment.

So, this it is, the ultimate bacon-wrapped showstopper. It’s so mind-blowingly good!
