Keto BLT Eggs

You will love this delicious and easy way to enjoy BLTs Keto-style! This Keto for Beginners recipe is simple to put together. Hard-boiled eggs are sliced in half and stuffed with crispy bacon (cooked in the microwave!), lettuce, and creamy mayonnaise for extra fat. If possible, try to use mayonnaise made with fats like olive oil or avocado oil. These BLT eggs can be stored in the fridge for a couple of days, so you can prep several ahead of time for a quick snack or even a Keto breakfast.

How to start a Keto diet for beginners

When starting a Keto diet, you will want to pair protein-rich foods such as meats and fish with high-fat ingredients like avocados, cheese (if not sensitive), coconut milk, other healthy fats, and oils (think coconut milk, avocado oil, ghee, butter, tallow, lard). Fat bombs are great to incorporate as well!

What is the best type of eggs to use?

We like to source the best quality eggs for optimal nutrition. If you can, use organic pasture-raised eggs, which are higher in omega-3 fatty acids, vitamins, and minerals!

What is the best type of bacon to use for this?

To make this recipe quick and easy, we have used pre-cooked bacon, which only takes a minute or so to cook in the microwave. If you prefer, you can cook regular bacon in the oven or stovetop, making necessary adjustments for cooking time.

To make the ultimate pairing, serve Keto BLT Eggs with our Ultimate Keto Coffee! One of our favorite recipes, which also makes for a well-rounded breakfast when paired with eggs!

Recipe Steps

15 min

  • Step 1

    Bring a small pot of water to a boil. Gently lower the eggs into the boiling water using a slotted spoon. Allow the eggs to boil for 9 minutes. Once the time has passed, drain the water on the eggs and add cool water and plenty of ice to halt the cooking process. Shocking the eggs will help with the peeling process.
    Step 1
  • Step 2

    While the eggs are cooking, place the bacon on a microwave-safe plate. Microwave the bacon for 1 minute. If it is not crispy, add another 30 seconds. Allow the bacon to cool. It will crisp more as it cools.
    Step 2
  • Step 3

    Peel the eggs and give them a rinse to remove any shell remnants. Cut each egg in half. Top ½ of the cut eggs with ½ teaspoon of mayonnaise.

  • Step 4

    Break the bacon pieces into thirds and top ½ of the cut eggs evenly with it. Top the bacon with the lettuce. Top the lettuce with the other half of the egg to create a sandwich.

  • Step 5

    Stick a toothpick into each egg to hold it together. Serve immediately. You can also store the eggs in the refrigerator for a couple of days.
