Keto Salami and Egg In A Hole
This easy Keto egg and salami recipe is made in just 10 minutes and is the perfect breakfast for a Keto morning. Your favorite brand of salami is stacked and sliced to reveal a wide ring. The salami ring is fried and then filled with an egg fried to your liking. Don’t worry, any salami removed from the fried rings are fried up as well and served on the side for dipping in your egg yolk. Salami fries up crispy, but there’s a chewier bite to it than bacon. The natural fats in salami melt and caramelize in your pan, making an extra delicious and texturally pleasing dish. This is a Keto breakfast recipe best made fresh instead of meal prepped. Make multiple servings for yourself or enjoy a serving with another favorite Carb Manager breakfast recipe.
Why Is Salami Good For Keto?
There may still be a great debate about how healthy processed meats can be for one person, but everything in moderation is key to minimizing any health risks when it comes to high-fat foods. On the Keto diet, that means including a variety of protein sources in your recipes to meet your macros without having too much of a good thing. Salami is great for Keto because it has a high-fat content with moderate protein in comparison.
What Is Egg-In-A-Hole?
Egg-in-a-hole is a funny little name for a really simple American breakfast. The original breakfast is a slice of toast with the middle removed. An egg is fried in the center of the toast so the toast can soak up any runny yolk. Depending on where you grew up, you may know this dish by a different name!

Ingredients

1 dash

0.5 tsp
Recipe Steps
steps 3
15 min
Step 1
Choose pre-sliced salami from either a package or deli-counter that is flexible and thin. Stack two slices of salami on top of each other, then cut the centers out using either a round biscuit cutter, paring knife, or another method. Remove about 2-½” wide circles from the center of the slices. Repeat this process of stacking and cutting until all the salami is used up.Step 2
Take the circles of salami you removed from the centers, and separate the pieces. Lay them in a pan and cook them at medium or high heat on your stovetop. Flip the salami circles once and transfer them to a clean surface to cool once they’re fried. Next, lay the individual stacks of salami rings in the same pan and cook them on medium heat until they begin to fry. Once the salami rings have fried on one side, leave them in place and reduce your heat to low.Step 3
Crack an egg into the center of each salami ring, and sprinkle small pinches of salt and pepper over each egg. If some of the egg whites escape outside the salami rings, you can gently reshape them with a spatula. Let the whites fill the salami rings until they cook through to your liking. Serve each salami and egg in-a-hole with two fried salami discs for dipping into your egg yolk. Drizzle ¼ teaspoon of extra virgin olive oil across each serving just before eating.

Are we supposed to be stacking 2 salami rings on top of each other and cooking the eggs that way? I ask because this calls for making 4 salami rings, but only 2 eggs?

Use two pieces of salami for each egg. Stack the salami cut the middle out and crack the egg in and cook it. If you like the top done a little better, put a lid over it to hold the heat to cook the top of the egg joke. Another way to cook the top would be to spoon hot grease over the yolk. I think you are supposed to use two slices of salami per egg to give height to the sides of the hole when cut.
