Many long time low carbers are very familiar with the low carb recipe called Mock Danish. It’s an old standard Atkins recipe and almost every keto blog out there has this recipe in their files. I made it egg fast friendly for you!
Keto Egg Fast Lemon Filled Danish
You know those danish in the grocery store that have that little center of lemony stuff in the middle? No, I’m sure you don’t! :-)
All I’ve done to the original low carb mock danish is add my own little lemon twist to it while still keeping it egg fast friendly!
If you are tired of boiled, scrambled, poached and deviled eggs and need a boost to your egg fast, this egg fast recipe will perk you up for sure!
I do prefer to avoid sweeteners as much as possible, but with this Lemon Filled Danish I used stevia to taste. On the egg fast it is better to use a liquid stevia like this one
Tools you will need for this Egg Fast Lemon Danish:
- Small microwavable bowl
- Silicone Baking Cups
or small ramekins
- rubber spatula

Is there a way to make the danish with another method other than the microwave? Thank you
I suggest making the Egg Fast Lemon Bars or the French Toast Egg Loaf instead.
Where in the store do you find True Lemon Packs?
I order mine from Amazon because they are a pain to find where I live. But one store where I did see them had them in the baking section and another had them in the same section where you find things like Koolaid and drink mixes. Good luck!
thanks cant wait to make them
where can i get the recipe for lemon danish
It’s in this recipe post that you commented on. Just scroll down, you will see it. Or use the Jump to Recipe feature. Thanks for stopping by!
I just to make sure I’m clear on serving size. Recipe makes two danishes so would that make a serving one Danish?
Yes, the recipe made 2 large danishes with my molds. One danish (1/2 the recipe) = 1 egg, 1 fat, 1 cheese. Of course nothing wrong with eating both danishes!
Thank you so much!!
What flavor other than lemon do you think would go well?.I’m doing lemon bars this week so I thought I could switch it up flavor wise with these maybe.
Well, the other day I made something similar. I used caramel pecan flavored skinny syrup. I’ve also done this with Salted Caramel syrup. Here’s the link to the other one, you just need to scroll down to see the egg fast version with caramel. And cream cheese works fine in the recipe.
I used maple and cinnamon
This comment is totally a hack of mine but to bump up the lemon flavor I like to use the a packet of True Lemon. It makes this recipe really shine in my book! LOL!
I think it’s an excellent idea! I wrote this recipe before I found out about those amazing True Lemon packets, so that’s why they didn’t get used for this one. I use them anytime I need Lemon now! Thanks for the reminder, I think I’ll add a suggestion up there in the post.
Can you use lemon juice instead? Doesn’t extract have sugar alcohols?
No because it would be too much liquid for the filling. Use lemon zest instead if you don’t want to use the extract.
Hello,
Where is this used in the recipe? It’s in the ingredient list, but not in the actual instructions. I am guessing it should have been mixed into the cream cheese/egg mixture before microwaving?
>>Stevia to equal 2 teaspoons sugar (or to taste)
>>cinnamon
Yes that is exactly where they are used! Unfortunately I learned to cook from my mother who never used recipes, it was always a little of this and little of that until it seemed right :-) Thanks for pointing it out, I’ll make a change so it’s more clear.
Hi I’m trying the egg fast. I had 2 questions:
1) Can I eat Miracle Noodles as a filler since there are no calories or carbs in them?
2) I use EZ sweetz as a sweetener even though I know a lot of people do not use sweeteners at all, all the research I’ve done says it does not include carbs and I absolutely hate the taste of Stevia, is EZ sweetz a viable substitution or will it impede weight loss?
You can have up to 3 sweeteners a day in total, EZ sweet is fine instead of Stevia. Miracle noodles are a no, there really truly is nothing on the egg fast except for eggs, butter and cheese! Good luck!
Do these keep well? Could I prep a couple ahead of time and store in the fridge?
Yes, they would be fine for a few days.
Have these cooling in fridge and can’t wait to eat. Have a question. why does each Danish count as 1 cheese if there are 2 oz cream cheese in each one?
You are so sharp and caught my error! It is supposed to be 4 tbsp cream cheese. 2 tbsp weighs 1 ounce. Accckkk! Thanks, I am changing it now.
