Für ein optimales Ergebnis, achten Sie darauf, dass die Eier nicht zu lange gebacken werden, da sie sonst trocken werden können. Der Auflauf ist fertig, wenn die Mitte noch leicht wackelt, aber nicht mehr flüssig ist. Er wird beim Abkühlen weiter festigen. Wenn die Oberfläche zu schnell bräunt, decken Sie die Form mit Alufolie ab, um ein Verbrennen zu verhindern.
Diese Keto-Frühstücksauflauf ist sehr vielseitig. Probieren Sie ihn mit Chorizo oder italienischer Wurst für einen würzigeren Geschmack. Spinat, Zucchini oder Pilze können als zusätzliches Gemüse hinzugefügt werden. Für eine schärfere Variante, fügen Sie gehackte Jalapeños oder Chilischoten hinzu. Vegetarier können den Auflauf ohne Wurst zubereiten und stattdessen mehr Gemüse und vielleicht etwas Feta oder Ziegenkäse verwenden.
Servieren Sie diesen herzhaften Frühstücksauflauf mit frischer Avocado, einem Klecks Sauerrahm oder etwas Salsa für zusätzlichen Geschmack. Ein einfacher grüner Salat passt perfekt dazu, wenn Sie den Auflauf zum Brunch oder Mittagessen servieren. Für Nicht-Keto-Esser können Sie geröstete Süßkartoffeln oder ein Stück Vollkornbrot dazu reichen.
