Ingredients

• 2 large eggs: they add protein and healthy fats, giving structure and a custardy feel.
• 1/2 cup almond flour: provides fiber and healthy fats with a subtly nutty flavor, keeping it low carb.
• 2 oz cream cheese: brings a creamy texture and a slight tang, making the noodles rich and smooth.
• 1/4 teaspoon salt: it boosts all the flavors, balancing the taste without overpowering.

Ingredient Quantities

• 2 large eggs
• 1/2 cup almond flour
• 2 oz cream cheese, softened
• 1/4 teaspoon salt

How to Make this

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. In a medium bowl, beat the eggs until they are well mixed.

3. Add the softened cream cheese and salt to the eggs and stir until evenly combined.

4. Stir in the almond flour until a smooth dough forms.

5. Transfer the dough onto the parchment paper and use a spatula or your hands to press it out into an even, thin layer about 1/4 inch thick.

6. Place the sheet in the oven and bake for about 8 minutes until the dough is just set.

7. Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let it cool for a couple of minutes.

8. Once the dough is cool-ish, use a sharp knife or pizza cutter to cut it into thin noodle-like strips.

9. Serve immediately with your favorite low carb sauce or add them to soups and casseroles for a delicious, keto friendly meal.

Equipment Needed

1. Oven – You’ll need an oven preheated to 350°F to bake the dough properly.
2. Baking sheet – Make sure you have a baking sheet you can line with parchment paper.
3. Parchment paper – This helps prevent the dough from sticking to the baking sheet.
4. Medium mixing bowl – Use a bowl to beat the eggs and mix in the cream cheese and salt.
5. Whisk or fork – Use one of these to beat the eggs until they’re well mixed.
6. Spatula – This is handy to spread the dough evenly or you can use your hands.
7. Sharp knife or pizza cutter – Use one of these to cut the baked dough into thin, noodle-like strips.

FAQ

Homemade Keto Egg Noodles Recipe Substitutions and Variations

• Eggs: If you dont have large eggs on hand, you can try using 2 egg whites or make a flax egg by mixing 1 tablespoon of flaxseed meal with 3 tablespoons of water
• Almond Flour: If almond flour isnt available, you can use coconut flour but use less (about 1/4 cup) since its much more absorbent
• Cream Cheese: Instead of cream cheese, you might use mascarpone or even full fat ricotta for a different creamy touch
• Salt: Sea salt works just as good as regular table salt if that’s what you have

Pro Tips

1. Make sure your cream cheese is fully softened before you mix it in so you dont end up with weird lumps in your dough.
2. Try to spread the dough as evenly as possible, because if some parts are thicker they might not bake nicely with the thinner parts.
3. Keep a close eye on the timer because the dough can set really fast, and overbaking might make it too hard to cut into good noodle like strips.
4. Experiment a bit with your favorite low carb dipping sauce or soup, it could take this recipe to a whole new level of yum.
