“If you need some inspiration to jazz up eggs, may I remind you about cream-baked eggs. My recipe below is uncomplicated and packed with flavour. It’s my go-to dish when I don’t feel like cooking and Funnyman is travelling. Ramekins are great here. Enjoy with my (toasted) Quick Chia Keto Bread, or any other bread recipes that you fancy. Truth be told, I just dive in with a teaspoon. Traditionally, the eggs are cooked in a bain-marie, but I pop it into the oven, as is to simply things.” – Monya

More on Cream-baked Eggs…
Eggs are very low in carbohydrates, making them an excellent choice for those on a keto diet. They contain healthy fats, including monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats.

Eggs are also an excellent source of high-quality protein, which is essential for maintaining and building lean muscle mass. The protein and fat content in eggs can help keep you feeling full and satisfied, reducing the likelihood of snacking on carb-heavy foods.
Eggs are packed with essential nutrients, including vitamins (A, D, E, B vitamins), minerals (iron, selenium), and choline. Choline is crucial for brain health and function. The fat-soluble vitamins in eggs, such as vitamin D, are better absorbed when consumed with dietary fat. The fat in eggs can enhance the absorption of these essential nutrients.
Furthermore, eggs are readily available and affordable, making them a cost-effective choice for individuals on a keto diet.
It is important to note that to maintain ketosis, it’s essential to track carbohydrate intake and ensure it aligns with your daily macro goals. Consulting with a healthcare professional is advised before making significant dietary changes.

Cream-baked Eggs
Per serving
Ingredients
- 4 TB double cream
- 4 eggs
- smoked sea salt flakes
- white pepper
- 1 tsp snipped chives, to garnish
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 180°C (fan oven). This is 200°C for conventional ovens (or 400°F / gas mark 6).
- Have two greased ramekins ready. Pour one tablespoon of double cream into each one.
- Crack two eggs into each ramekin, then add another tablespoon of double cream into each one covering the eggs. Season with smoked sea salt flakes and a little white pepper. Very gently agitate the mixture to spread the seasoning - but do not break the yolks.
- Carefully place the two ramekins onto a little baking tray (#SafetyFirst) and place into the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes.
- Carefully remove and allow to cool a little before seasoning and garnishing - then dive in with a teaspoon. (Remember the ramekins are very hot!)
- I have also started adding more cream (between 3-4 TB to each ramekin) as the flavour of baked cream is intoxicating and it creates a less "dense" mixture.

Great recipe thank you – I just made this for breakfast and it was a wow! I made it just as directed (with four tablespoons and a chive topping), It came out perfectly. It looked wonderful and would be so easy if you had a few people to cook for – breakfast or brunch for example.
The directions were very clear and I will be making it again trying the variations you outlined.
A big thank you!
