Keto Christmas Egg Bake
Keto Christmas Frittata is made festive with ingredients that shine bright with red and green colors. Clarified butter is used to saute savory mushrooms, onions, spicy red poblano pepper, green spinach, and ham. Large eggs are cracked on top of this mixture and sprinkled with a generous amount of salt and pepper. Finally, the dish is dotted with salty feta cheese and baked until the cheese is hot and the eggs are perfectly sunny side up. This recipe makes for the perfect Christmas brunch!
What if I do not like sunnyside up eggs?
If sunnyside up eggs are not for you, pop the egg yolks and flip the eggs with the ham and spinach mixture attached to it. Cook it on the second side until well done.
How do I add more fat to this meal?
One way to add more fat to this meal is to top the eggs with extra feta cheese. It is so delicious. Alternatively, you can top the eggs with a melty cheese like Chihuahua (my favorite) or mozzarella.
What if I can’t find red poblanos?
You can use red bell pepper instead for a pop of color.

This is labeled as pork free but lists ham as an ingredient. Is there a substitute?

You could use any meat you like. I have made many variations of this recipe :) I’ve made it with turkey sausage - you just cook it first then do the veggies and just add it to the pan before the spinach. I don’t know what the macro changes would be but you can figure that out fairly easily I would think.
