Huevos Ahogados en Salsa de Tomate
Poached Eggs in Tomato Sauce (Keto-Modified)
Yes, with a tweak: ensure the tomato sauce is made from scratch without added sugars or starchy thickeners. About 7g net carbs per serving, lower than 6 in 10 Guatemalan dishes.
What it is
A comforting breakfast or light meal of eggs gently poached directly in a rich, savory tomato sauce with onions, garlic, and cilantro. Modified to be keto by ensuring no sugar is added to the sauce and served without tortillas or bread.
Key ingredients
Eggs, fresh ripe tomatoes, white onion, garlic, cilantro, olive oil, salt, black pepper, optionally mild bell pepper.
How to make it keto
Ensure the tomato sauce is made from scratch without added sugars or starchy thickeners. Request to be served without traditional carb sides like tortillas, bread, or rice. Ask for extra avocado or a side of low-carb vegetables if available.
Watch out for
Hidden sugar in pre-made tomato sauces (less common in authentic Guatemalan restaurants but still a risk), any accidental starchy vegetable fillers in the sauce. Traditional carb sides if not explicitly removed.
