How To Make A Keto Breakfast Custard Easily

Making a savory keto-friendly custard is quite simple. You’ll start by preheating the oven to 350 degrees.

Then, grease each ramekin with softened butter. Next, divide the shredded cheddar cheese and parmesan cheese evenly between the six ramekins.

You’ll then place the prepared ramekins into a baking pan with a rim that allows for hot, boiling water to be added for a bain-marie.

Next, in a large bowl, whisk together the large eggs, salt, onion, and garlic powder. Then, gently add the heavy whipping cream and salt.

Avoid creating small bubbles when you whisk so that the custard maintains a silky consistency.

Pro tip: After you’ve combined the egg mixture, pour it through a fine sieve before ladling it into the prepared ramekins.

This extra step ensures the creamiest custard.

Be sure to fill the ramekins to the top since the egg custard will not rise in the oven.

Place the custards on the middle oven rack and add the hot water. You might want to do this step once the pan is in the oven.

Then bake for about 30 minutes, or until the edges are set and firm and the center of the flans are lightly set.

When set, the custards should jiggle slightly in the center, similar to gelatin. It’s important not to overbake to avoid bubbles and keep the consistency smooth.

Allow the breakfast custards to cool slightly before enjoying them. The last step is to garnish with sliced chives, parsley, and cherry tomatoes.

Store any leftovers by covering each ramekin in plastic wrap in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Baking Options

This recipe makes six 4-ounce ramekins. These ramekins come with a lid, making them perfect for keto meal planning.

Or you can choose just to bake one large custard in a 9×5 inch oven-proof dish. Just note that if you go this route, you will need to adjust the baking time to about 40 minutes.
