Certainly! Below is the revised recipe for a simple keto-friendly snack, with updated nutritional information and modifications to suit a low-carb diet.

Keto-Friendly Baked Egg Custard

Ingredients:

  • 5 Large Eggs
  • 500 ml Unsweetened Almond Milk (or another low-carb milk alternative)
  • A Pinch of Salt
  • 1 tbsp Butter or Coconut Oil (for greasing)

Instructions:

Preheat Oven:

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Grease a baking dish with butter or coconut oil to prevent sticking.

Prepare the Egg Mixture:

  1. Crack the eggs into a mixing bowl.
  2. Add a pinch of salt and whisk until well combined and smooth.

Combine with Milk:

  1. Warm the almond milk in a saucepan over low heat until it is slightly warm (not hot).
  2. Gradually add the warm milk to the beaten eggs, whisking continuously to ensure a smooth mixture.

Prepare for Baking:

  1. Pour the egg and milk mixture into the greased baking dish.
  2. Create a bain-marie (water bath) by placing the baking dish inside a larger pan. Fill the larger pan with hot water until it reaches halfway up the side of the baking dish.

Bake:

  1. Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 25-30 minutes, or until the custard is firm and has a golden color on top. The edges should be set while the center might still be slightly jiggly.

Cool and Serve:

  1. Remove from the oven and carefully take the baking dish out of the water bath.
  2. Allow to cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
