About Keto Egg Lasagna Roll-ups

In emails and comments, a couple requests always come up: More ketogenic recipes and low-carb options. I had an idea to test out keto lasagna noodles: similar to lasagna sheets. I’m so happy with what we ended up with because these egg lasagna roll-ups require just a handful of ingredients and they’re super versatile. They’re high in protein and low-carb to keep your blood sugar nice and stable throughout the day.

What’s in the Filling?

Here’s where the magic happens!

One of the best things about this recipe is how versatile it is. Depending on the filling you choose, the egg lasagna roll-ups could be a hearty breakfast or a savory dinner.

Ingredients and dairy free swaps:

•  Hummus: Hummus lends creaminess that’s dairy – free and lighter than ricotta. I used a store-bought chickpea hummus but this is also an opportunity to incorporate other flavors you love such as red pepper or roasted garlic hummus. Not into cheese or hummus? Try incorporating avocado or plain yogurt into egg lasagna filling.
  
• Crumbled feta: It doesn’t take much feta to get that creamy ricotta taste we love in a lasagna roll-up. Note that this recipe divides the feta: Half goes in the filling, half goes on top. Dairy-free swap – plant based crumbled cheese or crumbled organic tofu.
  
• Mozzarella cheese: To achieve the stretchy, melty goodness, I used a little over a cup of mozzarella, divided as a filling ingredient and a topping.
  Dairy-free swap – Try my vegan queso or spread more hummus on top.
  
• Chopped kale or baby spinach: If you’re hesitant about kale in your lasagna, I urge you to try it! The earthy flavor of kale complements the creaminess of hummus and gooey goodness of mozzarella. However, fresh spinach is another leafy green you can’t go wrong with.
  
• Garlic, salt, and pepper: The holy trinity; season the mixture to taste

As mentioned above, the filling is definitely customizable. Thank goodness!

Here are a few of my favorite filling ideas!

• Breakfast, try adding bacon crumbles into the filling and replace mozzarella with cheddar cheese.
• Dinner Skip the ricotta and add chicken, salsa, and avocado!
• For the picky eater plain Jane – Just cheese and and a wee bit of tomato

Perfecting the Keto Lasagna Noodles

Think of the base as keto lasagna noodles: A flexible layer of beaten eggs, parmesan, (dairy or non-dairy) cream, and spices baked on a sheet pan. The parmesan cheese helps the eggs hold their shape while rolling. After baking, simply use a knife or pizza cutter to slice your sheet pan eggs into long layers and use them like lasagna sheets! These are a few tips that helped us achieve perfect egg lasagna noodles!

*Heavily* grease your sheet pan or casserole dish to ensure the egg lasagna lifts off with ease. Cooking spray, oil, or butter are excellent options, and a good nonstick sheet pan will help out, too.

Use parchment paper. This extra step will ensure those eggs lift perfectly. After greasing the pan, set down a sheet of parchment paper sized to fit, then grease the parchment paper as well.

After baking, grease your spatula. One more slippery step! I found that an oiled spatula helpful to release the egg from the pan in one piece.

 Let egg noodles cool. This is going to help with assembling and rolling. Make the egg lasagna filling while the egg cools.

Portioning out the egg lasagna: You can slice these into any size of “noodle” you prefer, but for lasagna roll ups, I found that roughly 2 x 9 inches is the perfect, even size.

HOW TO MAKE THIS RECIPE

Egg Lasagna MEAL PREP TIPS

If you’re pressed for time, try preparing the keto egg noodles in advance. It’s a little easier to roll them once they’re cool and it makes for an easier meal prep Sunday since you’ll only need to make the filling. Simply wrap the noodles in foil and keep them in the fridge until you’re ready to roll! The egg lasagna sheet will keep in the fridge for 1-2 days.

Freezer cooks and meal preppers: Double the recipe to make your life even easier! Two sheet pans cook evenly alongside each other in the oven, plus they freeze and reheat well. You can either freeze the assembled roll-ups or freeze the egg lasagna sheets on their own for a future week. IDEAS!
