Twenty minutes. That’s all you need to prepare and cook this healthy, all-in-one keto breakfast recipe. This unique recipe has all the main “keto stars” – meat, fat, eggs, and veggies – that takes little to no effort to make. You can make this for a lazy Sunday brunch, a big family breakfast, or when you’re in a rush but don’t want to skimp on a healthy keto breakfast!
Is This The Best Keto Breakfast Recipe?
Ideally, keto breakfasts should be high in fat, medium in protein, and low in carbs. I might be a bit biased in saying this, but I believe this particular recipe just may be THE best keto breakfast recipe ever!
Here’s why:
First, a serving of this amazing recipe contains 43.2g fat, 17.6g protein, and 4g net carbs. This macronutrient profile fits well within the keto ratio of around 70% fat, 25% protein, and 5% carbohydrates.
Second, it’s got all the good stuff. Bacon, spinach, tomatoes, eggs, and avocado. Mouthwatering, right? With all the essential keto ingredients featured in this recipe, you’re in no danger of accidentally going off ketosis. And, in fact, if you’re new to keto, this recipe may kickstart your body to go into ketosis!
The Yummy Keto Breakfast That’s So Easy To Prepare
This easy all-in-one meal is one of my favorites. It’s a fresh take on traditional cooked breakfast that also saves you time and effort in the kitchen. I mean, we’ve all been there… cooking a big breakfast and trying to keep your attention all over the kitchen…. Bacon on the grill, eggs in a pan, greens steaming, and veggies cooking separately. Meanwhile, you’re also trying to round up the garnish in one corner.
You can easily lose track of time, and it’s so easy to end up with a mediocre breakfast after all that flapping. Well, stress no more! This all-in-one method is the answer, and you’ll never go back to the traditional way of cooking breakfast again!
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease a baking tray with 1 tbsp olive oil. Arrange the bacon and tomatoes on the tray (give the ingredients some ‘breathing’ room). Bake for 10 minutes.
Toss the spinach in 1 tbsp olive oil, and season with salt and pepper to taste. This step wilts the spinach slightly to make the next step easier. If you’re in a hurry, you can skip this step to shave a few minutes off your prep time.
Add the spinach to the pan, and form it into nests with a hollow for each egg to sit in. Crack the eggs and place gently on top of the spinach. Then, return the pan to the oven to cook for 5 more minutes.
Assemble your garnish ingredients. Chop the avocado and parsley, and add to your dish when it’s out of the oven. Finish with a pinch of red chili flakes on top of each egg and serve immediately. Enjoy your breakfast!

Other Variations For This High Fat, Low Carb Breakfast Recipe
As the saying goes, variety is the spice of life. While this recipe is quick and simple to make, eating the same thing over and over will get boring pretty fast. Fortunately, this cooking method is so simple, you can just swap out some of the ingredients for something else.
Here are some suggestions (feel free to experiment):
- Replace spinach with Brussels sprout, kale, broccoli, or cauliflower.
- Substitute bacon with some other grass-fed meat, maybe even seafood.
- Add cheese for a few more grams of fat, protein, and calcium.
- If you’re a fan of coconut oil, you can use this instead of olive oil.
- Add chopped olives, cashews, almonds, pecan or macadamia nuts to the mix.
- For that sweet and tangy flavor, try adding a few berries.
