Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 8 large eggs
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- ½ stick unsalted butter (4 tbsp)
Optional Toppings
- Cinnamon
- Sugar-free syrup
- Fresh berries
- Whipped cream
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it’s ready for baking the egg mixture evenly.
- Blend Ingredients: In a blender, combine the eggs, softened cream cheese, and unsalted butter. Blend until the mixture is perfectly smooth and creamy, which helps create the fluffy texture of the bake.
- Prepare Baking Dish: Lightly spray or grease an 8×8-inch baking dish to prevent sticking and to allow easy removal after baking.
- Bake the Mixture: Pour the blended mixture into the prepared baking dish. Bake in the preheated oven for 30 to 40 minutes, or until the top is puffed up and golden brown, indicating the egg bake is fully cooked.
- Cool Slightly: After baking, allow the egg bake to cool slightly. It will deflate a bit, which is normal and makes it easier to slice and serve.
- Add Toppings and Serve: Sprinkle with cinnamon and add your favorite low-carb toppings such as sugar-free syrup, fresh berries, or whipped cream to enhance flavor and presentation.
Notes
- Make sure the cream cheese is softened for easier blending and smoother batter.
- Do not overbake; the center should be set but still moist to keep the fluffy texture.
- This dish is perfect for meal prepping breakfast and can be refrigerated for up to 3 days.
- Feel free to customize toppings to suit your dietary preferences or taste.
- Using sugar-free syrup keeps the recipe low-carb and diabetic-friendly.
