Buttery Asiago Baked Eggs - Egg Fast Recipe (2024)

These buttery baked eggs made with asiago cheese are so satisfying and only have 1 net carb per serving! Whip these up for an easy, delicious meal any time.

Who says eggs are only for breakfast? They perfect for any time of the day!

I first tried this recipe when I was doing an egg fast. If you haven’t heard of the egg fast, the goal is to eat primarily eggs for 3-5 days. With each egg, you also eat one tablespoon of fat and up to one ounce of cheese.

The egg fast is a great way to jumpstart weight loss. However, you don’t need to be doing an egg fast to enjoy oven baked eggs!

This keto friendly dish is a great way to eat eggs any time. They are super delicious and only have 1 net carb per serving. Plus, prep is so easy and takes less than 5 minutes.

These can be made in ramekins or small oven-safe bowls. Simply butter the dishes, melt the rest of the butter in the bowls, drop a couple eggs in each one, then top with cheese and bake!

How to make baked eggs

With less than 5 minutes to prep and about 15 minutes to bake, this dish can be ready in 20 minutes or less!

First, we’ll prep the baking dishes and melt the butter:

1. Use a small amount of the butter to grease the two ramekins or 2-cup baking bowls.
2. Split the remaining butter between the two ramekins or bowls.
3. Microwave each bowl or ramekin for about 30 seconds to melt the butter.

Next, add the eggs and cheese, then bake:

1. Drop two whole eggs into each bowl or ramekin.
2. Top each with 1 tablespoon of grated cheese.

Bake in the oven at 350°F for about 15 minutes or until egg whites are set.

That’s it! Once you try making baked eggs in the oven, you may never want to make eggs any other way again.

How to tell when they are done

For me, my eggs are perfect after about 15 minutes in the oven. However, because ovens can vary in temperature, you’ll want to make sure yours are properly done.

The eggs are cooked once the whites are set. The yolks will be soft set, not runny.

The butter will also float to the top as the eggs bake, so you get delicious melted butter in every bite!

Modifications

I love the taste of Asiago cheese, so that’s what I use. But you can top your eggs with any cheese you like.

1 tablespoon of butter per egg is used in the recipe to comply with the egg fast rules. So if you’re not doing the egg fast, you can reduce the amount of butter used to just enough for greasing

Using the air fryer

I love how easy it is to make baked eggs in the oven. However, you could also use an air fryer for this recipe!

Air fryers tend to take a little less time and don’t need to cook as hot as the oven. For this recipe, I would set your air fryer to 325°F and bake the eggs for 12 minutes.

The cheesy top will turn out extra crispy and delicious!
