Huevos a la Española (Keto, sin Pan)
Eggs Spanish Style (Keto, no Bread)
Yes, with a tweak: ensure no bread or toast is served alongside. About 11g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for Uruguayan food, so watch the portion.
What it is
Fried or gently simmered eggs served in a robust and flavorful Spanish-style sauce. This sauce is typically made with ripe tomatoes, a small amount of onion and bell pepper, garlic, and paprika, cooked in olive oil. Traditionally accompanied by bread for dipping, which must be omitted for a keto version.
Key ingredients
Eggs, ripe tomatoes, onion (small amount), bell pepper (small amount), garlic, olive oil, smoked paprika, salt, black pepper, fresh parsley (garnish).
How to make it keto
Crucially, ensure no bread or toast is served alongside. Confirm that the tomato sauce base is made without added sugars or flour thickeners, focusing on fresh ingredients.
Watch out for
Sugary tomato sauce, excessive amounts of onion/bell pepper in the sauce, and the traditional accompaniment of bread (must be omitted).
