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
When I was little we used to make pizza with English muffins. Now we make my healthy, low carb Pizza Muffins –they’re a huge hit with adults and kids alike!
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!

Jayme Silvestri says
That looks great – I had a spicy dish last night. It has to be done, even during the summer months! Most of all it helps clear the airwaves and definitely makes me feel fresher and happier :D
Faith says
Will a 9.5″ pyrex pie plate work for this recipe?
Faith says
Ha! I should have been more specific with my question. Pre-fying the onions, then assembling the remainder of the recipe in the ceramic dish is what I had in mind.
Elana says
Faith, I haven’t tried that; feel free to experiment :-)
Kandi says
This is really good. I’m on keto and am tired of eating meat and fried eggs. This was a welcome relief.
Elana says
Thanks Kandi!
DHR says
I take this to our church potluck and it is a great success!
Elana says
DHR, I’m so happy to hear that I’m part of your church potluck via this recipe and that it is a great success!
Susan says
You may combine this with my earlier comment:
I just made the recipe to take to a potluck :) It disappeared, which is the best recommendation at such a dinner.
When I tried to follow the ingredient list I discovered that 2 cups of grated cheese is actually 8 ounces, not 4 ounces. Hoping someone will correct the recipe!
Elana says
Susan, sorry I don’t have any way to combine comments. I Just remeasured 4 ounces of grated cheese and the yield is 2 cups. Perhaps you are packing your cheese into the cups. So glad to hear this casserole disappeared at a potluck :-)
Ann says
Elana,
Do you think I could substitute mozzarella instead of cheddar?
Elana says
Ann, I haven’t tried that so not sure, but I think it might. If you experiment I hope you’ll let me know if it works :-)
Susan says
Does it need to be reheated if it has been refrigerated? Is it better the 2nd day?
I am going to a potluck, how is it at room temperature?
Elana says
Susan, I’ve eaten it hot, cold, and at room temp and love it all of those ways!
Best Food & Wine in Pokhara says

Nancy Brady says
Is there another place I could find the nutrition info for this recipe? I’ve recently started on a keto diet and still need to keep track of macros. It’s still too early with this way of eating to know how certain foods and recipes will affect me. Thank you!

This is delicious and yes, it is so easy! My iron skillet is 12″, so I baked it in a different, ceramic pan, but it turned out so pretty! My husband must have commented five times how good it is! And I make crustless quiches regularly. This will be made many times. I will say that my casserole dish made it deeper, so it took a lot longer to bake, I would go with a larger dish next time, maybe an 8″ square one. YUM! Thanks for a great recipe!
Elana says
Nancy, thanks for all of your awesome comments here and on Instagram! I’m so glad that you and your husband are enjoying this casserole! We love it too :-)
Melodie says
How long would this last in the refrigerator?
Elana says
Melodie, I keep mine in the fridge for up to 5 days :-)
