Tips for the Perfect Keto Shakshuka
Use Fresh Eggs
For the best results, use fresh eggs. They’ll give your Keto Shakshuka a rich, creamy texture.
Don’t Overcook the Eggs
The eggs should be cooked until they are just set, with a center to achieve the ideal shakshuka experience.
How Many Carbs Are in Traditional Shakshuka?
Shakshuka in its form is generally considered to be a dish that’s not very high, in carbohydrates. However it may still contain 10 15 grams of carbs per serving.
These carbs primarily come from the tomatoes used in the recipe and occasionally, from the addition of sugar. However, our Keto Shakshuka recipe slashes those carb counts even further by using keto-friendly ingredients.
