Keto Low-Carb Jalapeno Popper Egg Casseroles

Egg Casseroles for Brunch

I love breakfast casseroles because they are easy to make ahead of time. This one is great because you can make the egg batter ahead of time. Then pop it in the fridge and pour the batter into the ramekins the night before! Then just pour the batter in the ramekins right before you are ready to eat the next morning.

Mini Casseroles Elevate Brunch

Individual portions are so pretty when you are planning a brunch. Instead of making a large casserole, consider dividing it into ramekins. Individual ramekins are easy for brunch guests to grab and are the perfect serving size.

Low in Carbs High in Taste

I love eggs for breakfast because they are packed with protein and there are so many different ways to prepare them! This is one of my favorite recipes because I love the cheese paired with the spicy jalapeños. It’s such a great combination!

How to Make Jalapeno Popper Egg Casseroles

Add Eggs

Crack 12 eggs into a bowl

Cream

Next add 1 cup of whipping cream or half-and-half to the egg mixture.

Cream Cheese

Slice the jalapeno and add 2-3 slices of jalapeno to each ramekin.
