I’m obsessed with this recipe for Huevos Rancheros Casserole.
Recipe for Huevos Rancheros Casserole
This easy breakfast that’s healthy reminds me of the chile rellenos casseroles that showed up at the potlucks of my Northern California childhood in the hippy-dippy 1970s.
Back in those days a lot more than THC-A appeared at parties, but that’s a story for another blog post.
Easy Dish with Eggs
This heavenly one-pot huevos rancheros style dish is super easy to make.
Fry up an onion in olive oil, while that’s happening, whisk eggs and combine them with salsa and cheese. Dump that stuff over the onion, then bake in the oven and you’re good to go.
Egg Dish Baked in Oven
When you take the casserole out of the oven be sure to use an oven mitt.

Easy Recipe for Crustless Quiche
I use the quiche recipes from my cookbooks and bake them without the crust when I’m in need of other keto egg casserole recipes.
Above is the Savory Vegetable Quiche recipe from Paleo Cooking from Elana’s Pantry. It’s a bit lighter than my recipe for Huevos Rancheros Casserole and it’s packed with veggies.
But if you’re looking for the easiest recipe for crustless quiche, my Huevos Rancheros Casserole takes the cake.
If you’re a fan of recipes for crustless quiche like I am, my Huevos Rancheros Casserole is the ultimate! Serve this with sliced avocados and sour cream to take it up a notch. Now that’s keto heaven.

Pizza Muffins

Our favorite part is letting everyone put their own toppings on the muffins which really elevates your standard pizza night.
Crepes Recipe Easy
Delicious, super easy to make, and only four ingredients? We must be talking about my recipe for healthy Crepes.
All you need to make this crepes recipe is coconut flour, eggs, water, and coconut oil!
Will you go sweet or savory when you fill them? Above the Crepes are pictured with my blueberry filling and a dollop of Whipped Cream.
Mini Bagels with Cream Cheese
If these Mini Bagels with Cream Cheese aren’t one of the cutest breakfast recipes that’s keto, I’m not sure what is.
Much like my Pizza Muffins, these Mini Bagels with Cream Cheese allow for a large variety of customization which makes them extra family-friendly.
Use regular cream cheese for those that can have dairy, or Kite Hill Cream Cheese if you’re on a Dairy-Free Diet.

How to Make Fruit Salad
Seems like the simplest thing, but you’d be surprised how many people ask me how to make Fruit Salad.
I taught my boys how to make fruit salad when they were little and they love it at brunch or for a healthy dessert.
We make our fruit salad with bananas, peaches, strawberries, and blueberries, and of course, no added sugar since fruit is nature’s candy. Feel free to toss in any other fruits you love!

Nancy says
Would love a recipe for lasagna with NO ZUCCHINI. Cream cheese “noodles” perhaps? I dunno, I’m just zucchini’d OUT.
LOVE your blog, btw:)
Elana says
Nancy, what a great idea! I’m a bit zucchini’d out too! Have you seen my Keto Mac & Cheese Skillet Casserole? No zucchini in it at all and very cheesey:

Charee says
Wow, huevos rancheros reminds me of growing up in Texas. I will have to make this recipe. What about a tres leches cake? It is such a treat. Perhaps a paleo version – as it is a bit sweet. Sometimes my body will takes something sweet, sometimes not so much.
Elana says
Charee, I hope you love this casserole as much as we do and thanks for the idea of a healthy tres leches cake!
Laura says
Elana! I have just seen your low carb cornbread recipe. I am double happy now, this is just what I need to try. Excuse my previous comment. (I am embarrassed!)
Elana says

Greetings to you! Thanks for this wonderful recipe, I want to make it very soon. I can hardly wait to see your pancake recipe. I adore vegetable soup. Also, when you use almond flour in place of cornmeal, the almond flour taste just like cornbread. I add finely diced sweet onion (it cooks in the dish) and grated cheese. I have never tried nutritional yeast in the “cornbread”. Take care…
Elana says
Laura, thanks for your awesome comment!
Julie J says

Hi Elana, Can’t wait to try this recipe! I have a similar skillet that was my grandmother’s. I cherish it and would love to use it; but I have almost no experience using cast iron. It was put away wet at one point and it rusted a little. I know, sigh, I learned my lesson… I’m wondering if you can offer some advice maybe from personal experience. I’ve done some online research on restoring the seasoning. I’ve removed the rust, cleaned it well, and baked twice upside down with oil, but it just doesn’t have the non-stick “coating” it once had. Am I missing out on a secret. Must I use shortening? Thank you in advance if you have time or any wisdom to share. D
Elana says
D, I have to tell you that cast iron skillets can be very challenging! I’ve had luck with some and had to give others to Good Will. When I crack the code I’ll be sure to let you know. I can tell you that every time I use my good one, I wash it, dry it, wipe it out gently with a dry rag, then heat it on the stove with a nice layer of olive oil, then wipe that out, let it cool off and put it away :-)
Margie says
Making this very delicious sounding recipe now. One problem…the egg mixture almost over flowed the 8 in skillet. It was a real challenge to get the filled skillet from stove top to oven. Time to turn on the self cleaning dial….as soon as we taste this terrific one skillet egg dish. Any suggestions?
Margie
Elana says
Margie, thanks for your comment! I’ve made this a couple dozen times in a skillet that measures 8-inches on the bottom. BUT, that would be a skillet that measures 9 inches when measured on the top. Which in essence means I was wrong and that this should be called a 9-inch skillet. We’ve updated the link in the recipe, and I apologize for creating a mess in your oven. We will be in touch with you to apologize directly. Thanks for reaching out about this!!!
