Recipe from France! A quick and easy Low-Carb Breakfast from France is so easy to make. I remember thIs Low-Carb Breakfast which the French translation is Oeufs en Cocotte.
This breakfast is very popular for a French Christmas breakfast.In America we love to have our eggs in the morning but not in France. The common daily breakfast is coffee and a croissant.
Let's not forget the baguette with butter and jam, which is also a breakfast favorite. Yet when Christmas morning comes around and the coffee is brewing I will be making one of my favorites, to remind me of my Christmas Breakfast in France.
This low-carb breakfast is so simple to make and sometimes I will make it for dinner with a salad. It's low - carb and gluten-free so it fits right into my diet without giving up anything!
How to Make this Low-Carb Breakfast with Eggs
- Preheat oven to 350º degrees
- Butter 4 ramekins
- Chop your spinach and place a handful in the ramskin
- Cut the goat brie into small squares
- Sprinkle olive oil on top and season with salt and pepper
- Pour a 2 tablespoon of half and half on top.
- Crack an egg into each ramekin.
- Add the ramekins to a baking pan and fill the pan with boiling water half way up to the ramekins.
- Bake the egg until the whites are just set and the yolks are soft and runny
- Depending on your oven, this should take about 10 to 15 minutes.
Low-Carb Breakfast Variations
There are many variations for this Quick Low-Carb Egg Breakfast which can be made with different vegetables
- leeks
- kale
- tomatoes

Ways to Serve
I always serve a glass of fresh squeezed orange juice and black coffee with any breakfast. With this Quick Low-Carb Egg Breakfast, I will slice tomatoes, avocado and place them on a plate with a little olive oil on top.
Tip
Check the eggs so you cook them to your liking. Jeff does not like a runny egg so I cook his longer and I take my out sooner. Check your egg top after 7 minutes so you don't over cook.
