Bayd bil Laban
Eggs Poached in Yogurt Sauce
Yes, with a tweak: ensure the restaurant uses full-fat, unsweetened yogurt. About 12g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for Jordanian food, so watch the portion.
What it is
A simple, comforting, and tangy dish where eggs are gently poached directly in a warm, savory full-fat yogurt sauce, often seasoned with garlic and dried mint. A quick and protein-rich meal.
Key ingredients
Eggs, plain full-fat yogurt (laban), fresh garlic, dried mint, salt, olive oil or ghee (for finishing).
How to make it keto
Ensure the restaurant uses full-fat, unsweetened yogurt. Confirm no flour or starch is used to thicken the yogurt sauce (traditional for some thicker yogurt stews, but less common for this simple egg dish).
Watch out for
High-carb yogurt (low-fat, sweetened varieties) or flour/starch as a thickener. Lactose in yogurt contributes natural carbs.
