Keto Breakfast Roll – This low carb breakfast roll is bursting with flavor and packed with healthy fats and protein to kickstart your day.
Why Keto Breakfast Rolls?
For those new to the ketogenic lifestyle, keto breakfast rolls are a versatile and delicious alternative to traditional carb-heavy breakfast options. Think of them as a combination of omelet wraps and breakfast burritos but without the carb-laden tortillas. They’re perfect for meal prep, quick breakfast bites, or even on-the-go meals, making them an ideal companion to a busy morning routine.
Ingredients You’ll Need
To make these mouthwatering keto breakfast rolls, gather the following ingredients:
- Eggs: The foundation of our breakfast rolls, providing healthy fats and high-quality protein.
- Almond flour or coconut flour: To give the rolls a bit of texture while keeping them low-carb.
- Cream cheese or shredded cheese: Adds creaminess and enhances the flavor.
- Vegetables: Bell peppers, spinach, mushrooms, and onions for a nutritional boost.
- Bacon or sausage: To pack a savory punch while staying within keto guidelines.
- Avocado: For an extra dose of healthy fats and creaminess.
- Seasonings: Salt, pepper, garlic powder, and herbs to add depth to the flavors.
Optional: For a unique twist, you can also add smoked salmon, fresh herbs, or hot sauce for an added kick.
How to Make Keto Breakfast Rolls
Step-by-Step Instructions
- Preheat Your Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or use a silicone baking mat.
- Cook Your Proteins: If you’re using bacon or sausage, cook them until crispy and set them aside. You can use the leftover grease to sauté your vegetables for added flavor.
- Whisk the Eggs: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together your eggs, almond flour (or coconut flour), and cream cheese until well combined. The batter should be smooth and slightly thick.
- Season and Mix: Add in your preferred seasonings, chopped vegetables, and cooked meat. Stir until everything is evenly distributed.
- Pour and Roll: Spread the egg mixture onto your baking sheet, making sure it’s evenly spread out. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the egg is set and lightly golden.
- Add Fillings and Roll Up: Once out of the oven, let the egg sheet cool slightly. Place avocado slices, extra cheese, or any other fillings of your choice onto the egg sheet. Gently roll it up into a tight log.
- Slice and Serve: Cut the roll into pieces and serve immediately or let them cool for meal prep.
Tips and Tricks for the Best Keto Breakfast Roll
- Use Fresh Ingredients: Fresh vegetables and quality meats make a huge difference in taste.
- Don’t Overbake: Overbaking can make the egg base rubbery. Keep an eye on it and take it out when it’s just set.
- Prep in Advance: You can make a large batch of these rolls and store them for easy breakfasts throughout the week.
- Cheese for Extra Flavor: Don’t skimp on the cheese—this adds not only flavor but also helps bind the ingredients together.
Variations to Try
- Vegetarian Option: Skip the bacon or sausage and load up on more vegetables like zucchini, kale, or roasted red peppers. You can add crumbled tofu for extra protein.
- Smoked Salmon and Cream Cheese: For a luxurious twist, use smoked salmon, cream cheese, and fresh dill.
- Spicy Kick: Add diced jalapeños, chili powder, or a drizzle of sriracha to spice things up.
- Pesto Delight: Spread a thin layer of keto-friendly pesto before rolling for a burst of flavor.
How to Serve Keto Breakfast Rolls
- Pair with a Side Salad: A simple arugula or spinach salad with a lemon vinaigrette complements the richness of the breakfast roll.
- With a Keto-Friendly Dip: Serve with guacamole, sour cream, or a spicy salsa for added flavor.
- Perfect for Brunch: These rolls are not only a breakfast staple but also make a fantastic addition to a weekend brunch spread.
How to Store and Reheat
- Refrigeration: Store leftover breakfast rolls in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days.
- Freezing: Wrap individual rolls in plastic wrap and store them in a freezer-safe bag for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in the fridge before reheating.
- Reheating: Warm up in the microwave for 30-60 seconds or in a low oven until heated through. Be careful not to overheat, as the egg can become rubbery.
Recipe FAQs
1. Can I make these rolls dairy-free?Yes! Substitute the cream cheese with dairy-free cream cheese or omit it entirely. Use nutritional yeast for a cheesy flavor without the dairy.
2. Can I make these without flour?Absolutely. The flour helps with structure, but you can skip it for a lighter, more omelet-like roll.
3. What are some keto-friendly sauces I can use?Try sugar-free hot sauce, homemade keto hollandaise, or a tangy lemon aioli.
4. Can I use other types of meat?Of course! Feel free to experiment with ground turkey, shredded chicken, or even thinly sliced steak for a heartier meal.
5. How do I prevent my roll from falling apart?Ensure the egg sheet is not too thin and has cooled slightly before rolling. Using a silicone baking mat can also help with even cooking and easy rolling.

Ingredients
- 10 large eggs
- 5 breakfast sausage patties, cooked
- 5 slices of bacon, cooked
- Nonstick cooking spray
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1.5 cups shredded cheddar cheese
Instructions
- Prep Your Skillet: Heat up a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. In a bowl, whisk together 2 eggs until smooth. Once your skillet is hot, reduce the heat to medium-low and add the eggs. Spritz with nonstick spray if needed, and season with a dash of salt and pepper.
- Cook & Cover: Cover the eggs and let them cook until almost fully set—just a few minutes should do the trick.
- Layer the Good Stuff: Sprinkle 1/3 cup of shredded cheddar all over the eggs. Place a strip of crispy bacon and half of a sausage patty on top.
- Roll It Up: Carefully fold the egg over the fillings, like you’re wrapping a taquito. I usually fold mine in thirds. If it’s tricky, fold it halfway and use a spatula to hold it until the egg sets in place, then fold again.
- Repeat & Enjoy: Set the roll-up aside and repeat the process until you have five beautiful, cheesy breakfast rolls.
