Keto / Low Carb Eggs Au Gratin Recipe

This low carb eggs au gratin recipe was inspired by Great Day Farms as part of a sponsored campaign.

Potatoes are one food I miss when following a strict low carb diet. They are one of my favorite comfort foods. So I am always trying to figure out ways to take some of my favorite potato dishes and make them low carb. My latest creation involves a creamy cheese sauce and sliced hard boiled eggs to create eggs au gratin. You seriously won’t miss the potatoes.

You can make your own hard boiled eggs for this recipe, but if you are like me, your hard boiled eggs never turn out right. They are either too soft inside or you cook them for so long the yolks turn green. Ew. And let’s not even talk about the challenge of peeling them. Mine always look like someone tried to peel them with a spoon.

Keto / Low Carb Eggs Au Gratin Recipe

You just need an egg slicer and an oven-safe skillet to cut them up to make a delicious low carb eggs au gratin.  This recipe uses 1 6-pack of Great Day Farms Hard-Boiled Eggs and I used a 10″ cast iron skillet. It was the perfect size.

The sauce is SO AMAZING. Seriously. I mean, it’s hard to go wrong with cheese and cream and eggs, but trust me, it was delicious.

You have to be a bit more careful when serving this than you would with potatoes, but the eggs hold together pretty well even when scooping them into a dish. I think the cheese helps keep it all together. But if serving to guests, just be careful.
