Butter and eggs could not be more perfect for a ketogenic breakfast, and in this recipe, we use the more refined version of butter: ghee! Ghee is butter reduced to its purest form, rich butter-flavored oil that comes from grass-fed cows and is rich in Omega-3’s. Add aged cheese for extra umami.

Tried these right away, really decadent. I’ve never had eggs with ghee before and it’s really different, very rich, very good.
