Keto Spinach & Feta Egg Bake – Easy, Flavorful, and Meal-Prep Friendly

Prep Time 10 minutes
Cook Time 30 minutes
Total Time 40 minutes
Servings: 6 servings

Ingredients
  

  • 10 large eggs
  • 1 cup heavy cream (or half-and-half for a lighter texture)
  • 2 cups fresh spinach, roughly chopped (or 1 cup frozen spinach, thawed and well-drained)
  • 1 cup feta cheese, crumbled
  • 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella (for melt and structure)
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 small red onion, finely diced (optional but adds sweetness)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil or butter
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional for a little heat)
  • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt, or to taste
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • Butter or oil for greasing the baking dish

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x9-inch or 9x13-inch baking dish, depending on how thick you want the slices.
  2. Sauté the aromatics. In a skillet over medium heat, warm the olive oil or butter. Add the onion and cook 2–3 minutes until softened. Stir in garlic and cook 30 seconds until fragrant.
  3. Wilt the spinach. Add the chopped spinach to the pan and sauté 1–2 minutes, just until wilted. If using frozen spinach, make sure it’s squeezed dry before adding to the skillet. Remove from heat.
  4. Whisk the egg mixture. In a large bowl, whisk eggs, heavy cream, oregano, red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper until smooth.
  5. Assemble the bake. Spread the spinach mixture evenly in the baking dish. Sprinkle feta and mozzarella over the top. Pour the egg mixture over everything, gently shaking the pan to distribute.
  6. Bake. Place on the center rack and bake for 25–35 minutes, depending on pan size, until the center is just set and no longer jiggly. A knife inserted near the center should come out mostly clean.
  7. Rest and slice. Let it cool for 5–10 minutes. Slice into squares and serve warm.

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×9-inch or 9×13-inch baking dish, depending on how thick you want the slices.
  2. Sauté the aromatics. In a skillet over medium heat, warm the olive oil or butter. Add the onion and cook 2–3 minutes until softened.

    Stir in garlic and cook 30 seconds until fragrant.

  3. Wilt the spinach. Add the chopped spinach to the pan and sauté 1–2 minutes, just until wilted. If using frozen spinach, make sure it’s squeezed dry before adding to the skillet. Remove from heat.
  4. Whisk the egg mixture. In a large bowl, whisk eggs, heavy cream, oregano, red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper until smooth.
  5. Assemble the bake. Spread the spinach mixture evenly in the baking dish.

    Sprinkle feta and mozzarella over the top. Pour the egg mixture over everything, gently shaking the pan to distribute.

  6. Bake. Place on the center rack and bake for 25–35 minutes, depending on pan size, until the center is just set and no longer jiggly. A knife inserted near the center should come out mostly clean.
  7. Rest and slice. Let it cool for 5–10 minutes.

    Slice into squares and serve warm.

Storage Instructions

  • Refrigerate: Cool completely, then store slices in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
  • Freeze: Wrap individual pieces tightly and freeze up to 2 months. Thaw overnight in the fridge.
  • Reheat: Microwave 45–60 seconds per slice or warm in a 300°F (150°C) oven for 10–12 minutes. Avoid overcooking to keep it tender.

Benefits of This Recipe

  • Keto-friendly and satisfying: High in protein and healthy fats with minimal carbs, so it keeps you full and focused.
  • Meal-prep gold: Makes multiple servings, reheats well, and tastes great hot or cold.
  • Balanced nutrition: Spinach adds fiber, vitamins A and K, and minerals like iron and magnesium.
  • Customizable: Works with many low-carb add-ins from meats to other veggies and herbs.
  • Quick and simple: Minimal chopping and one baking dish makes it weeknight-friendly.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

  • Watery results from wet spinach: If using frozen spinach, squeeze it dry.

    Even fresh spinach can hold water—sauté just to release moisture.

  • Overbaking: It should be set, not rubbery. Pull it when the center is just firm; it will finish setting as it rests.
  • Underseasoning: Eggs need salt. Taste the spinach mixture and remember feta is salty—adjust accordingly.
  • Too many add-ins: Overloading with vegetables can add water and prevent a clean set.

    Keep the ratios balanced.

  • Skipping the fat: A little cream and cheese help with texture and flavor—key for a satisfying keto dish.

Recipe Variations

  • Meaty upgrade: Add cooked bacon, breakfast sausage, or diced ham for extra protein. Keep portions modest to avoid overcrowding.
  • Herb-forward: Stir in fresh dill, parsley, or basil for brightness. Add lemon zest for a fresh twist.
  • Cheese swap: Try goat cheese, ricotta, or sharp cheddar in place of mozzarella.

    Keep feta for that tangy note.

  • Veggie mix-ins: Add sautéed mushrooms, bell peppers, or zucchini. Cook them well to release moisture first.
  • Dairy-light: Use coconut milk instead of cream and skip mozzarella. The texture will be lighter but still tasty.
  • Mini bakes: Bake in greased muffin tins at 350°F (175°C) for 18–22 minutes for grab-and-go portions.

FAQ

Can I make this without dairy?

Yes.

Use unsweetened full-fat coconut milk or almond milk instead of cream, and skip the mozzarella. For the feta, try a dairy-free feta-style alternative or add extra herbs and olives for flavor.

Do I have to sauté the spinach first?

It’s best to sauté it. Cooking the spinach removes excess moisture, so your egg bake sets properly and isn’t watery.

If you’re short on time, use well-drained frozen spinach and squeeze it thoroughly.

What size pan works best?

A 9×9-inch dish makes a thicker bake and may take closer to 35 minutes. A 9×13-inch dish yields thinner slices and usually cooks in about 25–30 minutes. Both work; just watch the center for doneness.

How do I keep it from sticking?

Grease the baking dish well with butter or oil.

If sticking is a recurring issue, line the bottom with parchment for easy lifting and clean slicing.

Is this good for meal prep?

Absolutely. It stores well for several days and reheats without getting soggy. You can bake it on Sunday, slice it, and enjoy quick breakfasts all week.

How can I add more flavor without extra carbs?

Boost with spices and herbs like smoked paprika, cumin, dill, or oregano.

A sprinkle of olives or sun-dried tomatoes (oil-packed and drained) adds punch while keeping carbs low in small amounts.

What if I don’t like feta?

Use goat cheese for similar tang and creaminess, or swap in cheddar or Monterey Jack for a milder result. Season a bit more to make up for the missing salty bite of feta.

In Conclusion

This Keto Spinach & Feta Egg Bake is simple, flavorful, and built for real life. It’s an easy way to enjoy a protein-rich, low-carb meal that feels satisfying and fresh.

Keep the base as-is or make it your own with a few smart swaps. Whether you’re feeding a crowd or stocking your fridge for the week, this one is a keeper.
