Keto French toast – is it worth all the rave?
I was tempted to try to make this keto French toast, because as someone who isn’t really wild about the taste of eggs on their own, I figured why not?
Why not, indeed. Holy breakfast switcheroo! Move over, bacon & eggs, you have competition. I would have been fooled that this wasn’t actually made with bread.

Prior to keto I never really liked French toast, but I made some with an almond loaf I baked and it was incredibly good. I like to add a little peanut butter on mine, but I’m a PB fanatic.
Interesting. I never thought of that, but I don’t miss actual bread. I think the reason I was attracted to this was because while it’s still mostly eggs, it’s different than the savory eggs I eat every day. Plus, I like that no flours are required. I’m trying to eat more animal products/protein, and less carb-y stuff.
Gonna so try this!
Also, i’m assuming this is talking about butter? “4 tablespoons (1/2 stick), softened”
Oh yeah I edited that line and forgot to put back “butter”
Thanks
I hope you like it. I was skeptical but I was also setting my expectations very low. I’ve had a lot of “bread” or other replacement recipes basically just turn out awful. You try a recipe where the author is like, “OMG GUYS IT’S AN ENGLISH MUFFIN,” and I’m like, “OMG NO, IT’S JUST EGGS IN THE SHAPE OF AN ENGLISH MUFFIN.”
Lol, when I get to it I’ll let you know how it turns out for me.

I can get by without the taste and texture of bread, etc., but I miss the convenience of bread.
I eat a lot of convenient foods that are keto.
Sure, I remember having some reasonably convenient options, but still nothing that was as straightforward as spreading some peanut butter on a piece of bread and going, or putting meat and cheese in a bun.
(Note that I think a keto diet is the way to go, just that in today’s world there are many things more convenient.)
I dunno as a snack sometimes I’ll wrap a slice of ham around a baby cucumber and that’s way easier than spreading peanut butter on bread.
Just putting meat and cheese in your mouth is easier than putting it in a bun and THEN your mouth…ijs.
Bobbi Jo Woods i’d love to hear what your easy things are!
I could smash some sliced pepperoni. I buy the pre-sliced stuff in the bag. It’s probably the worst thing I eat.
I buy celery in bulk and cut it up, takes me a few secs to rip a stick off the bunch, rinse it and eat it.
Olives, pickles, cheese. Cheese, cheese, cheese. Olives. Cheese.
The other day, I had leftover roast beef slices, and I spread garlic & herb cream cheese and Dijon mustard on them and rolled them up, that was my lunch.
Chicken broth/bullion cubes, now that it’s winter, is a nice way to get a hot and fast cup of something if I’m not hungry but need to warm up and also get some essential sodium. I add a dash of hot sauce or some parsley.
Oooh that’s smart with the bullion cubes. I was thinking of making a batch of bone broth with the latest rotisserie chicken we got but that’s a great idea for once that’s gone.
Ham around a pickle is old-school!
Roast turkey slices around a pickle is yummy, too.
I also buy Margherita salami when it’s on sale at the deli for $4.99/lb. I’ll eat some with feta cheese, pepperoncini, olives.
The smoked tuna in a pouch, when those are a buck each. I eat it right in the pouch with a fork. Sometimes sprinkle in some capers or lemon juice.
Pistachios, pecan halves, pumpkin seeds, or walnuts. Macadamias, when I can afford them.
Shar Banning I make bone broth all the time…still have 3 ziploc bags full of turkey bones here, even a handful is enough for me to make 6 quarts of broth (at least, the ones I have, the bird we had at Thanksgiving was 14 lbs).
NIOCE!
I put it into canning jars and refrigerate, then freeze. So I always have broth to use for soups, etc.
I was gonna put it into canning jars and then just heat and drink like coffee during the week.
I usually put them in the fridge or sink to thaw a bit then dump into saucepan. Most of the time I use them for soup base or sauces/adding to roasts.
Hey Bobbi Jo Woods I just saw you can make egg bites in the instant pot for that sous vide texture. Have you tried it yet?
No.
