Budget Friendly Keto Breakfast

Is Deli Ham Keto?
As long as you find deli sliced ham that is low in sugar or sugar-free, deli ham is keto. In this keto frittata recipe, you can use either sliced deli ham or one that you have to cube up yourself.
How to Make a Traditional Frittata
To achieve a creamy, custard like keto frittata, we use a combination of cooking our egg mixture on the stove top and in the oven under broiler. This method creates an incredible texture. Just be careful you don’t burn the frittata. Keep a watchful eye on the casserole when it’s under the broiler so it doesn’t burn. Burnt eggs are hard to stomach!

If ham and green onions are not your favorite, you can substitute with these other ingredients.
- turkey

- pepper jack cheese
- fontina cheese
- sour cream

Frittata Tips
- Full Fat Dairy – Use full fat dairy to create a creamy frittata. Use heavy cream, sour cream, full fat yogurts and cheeses.
- Pre Cook vegetables – Cook your vegetables and proteins before you add it to the frittata. The eggs don’t take long to cook and set, so to keep from over cooking the eggs, you need to pre cook your vegetables and protein.
- Don’t Overcook – It’s easy to burn your frittata when it’s under the broil. Stay by it’s side and watch it as it puffs up. Overcooking the frittata can make it unappealing.
