Keto Egg Butter is a rich and filling spread that is ideal for a low-carb lifestyle. We prepare this Egg butter with only a few basic ingredients: butter, hard-boiled eggs, and a little seasoning. It’s tasty, creamy, and full of protein and good fats. Spreading it on keto bread, almond flour crackers, or crisp lettuce leaves for a light meal or quick snack is simple due to its soft texture. Additionally, we can use this butter as a topping for grilled meats and fish or as a dip for raw vegetables. This Keto Egg Butter keeps things simple and brings out the inherent tastes of eggs and butter, in contrast to egg salad, which is sometimes made with mayonnaise and other mix-ins.
