Keto Egg Loaf

20 ratings

This egg loaf is a fantastic Keto breakfast recipe that is perfect for making ahead for the whole week. Softened cream cheese is blended with melted butter and fresh eggs to make a creamy custard. The custard is poured into a pan and sprinkled with cinnamon, then baked to perfection. It can easily be sliced into perfect portions for macro counting or meal prepping. Not to mention it reheats well too.

Can I add sweetener to the mix?

Yes, you can add sweetener to the mix. Please opt for powdered sweetener instead of granular as it will dissolve better.

What do I use to blend the mixture?

To blend the mixture, please use an immersion blender or a traditional blender. The mixture will not be as smooth, but you can also use a hand mixer or stand mixer.

Why does the cream cheese have to be softened?

The cream cheese must be softened so it will blend into the eggs and butter seamlessly. This is not so much an issue if you use a blender, but having the cream cheese softened is crucial if you use a mixer.

40 min

  • Step 1

    Preheat an oven to 350 F. Grease an 8” x 10” pan with coconut oil or cooking spray. Soften the cream cheese in a bowl in the microwave for 30-40 seconds. To that bowl, crack the eggs and add the melted butter.
    Step 1
  • Step 2

    Blend with a stick blender or traditional blender. Pour into the prepared pan and sprinkle the top with the cinnamon. Bake for 25-30 minutes until puffed and cooked through. Allow cooling before attempting to remove the egg loaf from the pa and slicing it. If it is too warm, it will break easily.

    This recipe reminds me of a Dutch Baby pancake when I first made it because it puffs up then sinks in the middle. I leave out the cinnamon and bake then in silicon muffin cups. Then I’ve eaten them like bread. I’ve filled them with chicken salad or like a slider by putting in a burger. I use two tablespoons of melted butter instead of 8 works just as well.

      I didn’t have a square pan, so I used loaf pans, I’ve made this twice, and it is absolutely delicious. But when I first take it out of the oven, it’s all pooped up like a loaf of bread, and within minutes, it sinks down to hardly nothing in the middle, I still have plenty of height, although lowered around the edges of the pan, it is still edible and quite delicious. Why is mine sinking in the middle like that?

        That's how the recipe is. Try adding a teaspoon of baking powder to your ingredients and see if that helps.

      I really didn't like it as in the recipe, I'm up for trying it again with major substitutions though.

        Yum! I made this the other day and really enjoyed it. A very nice substitute from having plain eggs. It’s got sort of a cheesecake consistency, I’m making it again so I thought I’d drop a review. Definitely worth trying.

          Excellent. Used 7 eggs, stevia to sweeten, cream cheese, butter, Italian sweet sausage, heavy whipping cream. Followed main recipe and added sprinkles of cinnamon on top. WOW!!! Great to cut into squares and put in freezer. Good tasting. ❤️❤️❤️❤️

            Definitely interesting. I added 2 tbsp Swerve confectioners and 1 tsp vanilla extract to the batter as others suggested. Also, I put the cinnamon in the batter and sprinkled nutmeg on top. I made it in the food processor and the finished product had a fantastic silky texture. When I was making it I thought I would be pouring sugar free syrup over it a la French toast but it turned out that was unnecessary. I was afraid it would weigh down this lovely light dish and its delicate flavor. Although I am not a fan of salty and I did use salted butter I felt like the batter could have benefited from a touch of salt to bring out the flavor in the egg. You really can't beat the macros on this dish and though it didn't wow me I will definitely make it again when I want a change to my standard breakfast.

                Egg loaf is amazing! I like adding in vanilla extract, heavy whipping cream and coconut flour. ( The Coconut Flour, takes away the sogginess) My next batch I’m looking to change out the cream cheese for sour cream ( replacing the heavy whipping cream for either Greek Yogurt and Milk or Cottage Cheese and Milk (blending the cottage cheese) and add baking powder.

                      This was great for Father's Day brunch! I made it with ¼ cup Sugar Free Maple Syrup and Cinnamon. I only used 2T of butter. It was like breadless French Toast! 👍🏻

                          I added monk fruit sweetener and vanilla, but it would also be great with lemon extract and lemon zest! My whole (non-keto) family loved this!!!

                          Very good. I prefer to omit the cinnamon and make it savory with salt, black pepper, and dried chives sprinkled on top before baking.
