As long as the Keto Coddled Eggs – or eggs en cocotte as some others call them – are on the menu, you are sure to ignore any other dishes for breakfast or lunch for that matter. Because these are high protein, healthy fat coddled eggs, they make for a great pick on busy mornings. What’s more, these can be sprinkled with any seasonings to suit your palate. These eggs have soft whites and a runny yolk, and are prepared by steaming in a coddling pan. Each meal allowance bears just 0.3g net carbs and diet bullish 72 calories. Truly a godsend for individuals following low carbohydrate diets.
Ingredient
- Cheese: Any of the shredded or crumbled types of cheese will do. Shredded cheddar is being used in this variant.
- Eggs: Egg sizes do not really matter but larger egg sizes are going to take time to prepare. In the event you want to have still runny yolks, they must be taken out from the refrigerator.
- Herbs: This is a personal choice, because parents can choose any herbs to their liking.
- Seasoning: Spice it up or just stick to salt and pepper – the choice is solely yours!
Instructions:
Here’s how you can make perfect coddled eggs:
Fill the bottom of your coddler pan with enough water to cover the egg cups.
Turn the heat to high and bring the water to a boil.
Once it’s boiling, lower the heat to medium.
Lightly grease the inside of every egg cup with a little oil, to prevent sticking.
Place egg cups into the pan and put lid on.
Crack one egg into each cup, and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
Add some chopped chives and grated cheese for extra flavor.
Cook until egg whites are set but keep yolks nice and runny. If you prefer firm yolks then let them cook a bit longer.
Once done, using oven mitts, carefully remove the egg cups from the pan.
Run a knife around the edges to gently loosen the eggs, then transfer them to a plate.
Simple and delicious!
Tips:
Cooking time will be affected by the size of the eggs with the larger size ones taking longer time. Note (eggs to be used are of the same size in order to facilitate even cooking.)
Ideas For Variation:
Add Vegetables- For added flavor and nutrients, add roasted or sautéed veggies.
Cajun Style- For a spicy twist, sprinkle a little dab of Cajun seasoning.
Mexican- Use salsa verde for a fresh, zesty accent.
Italian- Instead of chives, use Italian seasoning for an Italian-style dish.
Meat Option- For a beefed-up, some cooked sausage or bacon could be included.
Garlic Parmesan- For a traditional taste, use crushed garlic, sprinkle it with parmesan cheese, and add Italian spices.
Storage:
In the event that you have remaining portions, keep them in the same container and consume within 72 hours. Do not freeze because it can affect the texture. To reheat, use a microwave or oven.
