This low carb 3-ingredient salami Kingsley bake is the kind of old-school recipe that still earns a spot on a modern dinner table because it is simple, filling, and made from pantry basics. It feels like the sort of practical casserole someone clipped, tested, and tucked into a metal recipe box decades ago, and I love that it still works for busy weeknights when you want something hot and satisfying without a lot of prep or a long shopping list.
Serve this bake with a crisp green salad, roasted broccoli, steamed green beans, or a plate of sliced tomatoes to keep the meal light and balanced. It also works well cut into smaller squares as a party snack or casual lunch alongside dill pickles, marinated vegetables, or a cup of simple tomato soup for anyone at the table who is not watching carbs as closely.
Low Carb 3-Ingredient Salami Kingsley Bakes
Servings: 6
Ingredients
8 ounces sliced salami
8 large eggs
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
Directions
1. Preheat your oven to 375°F and lightly grease a small ceramic casserole dish or 8-inch square baking dish.
2. Arrange half of the salami slices in an even layer across the bottom of the dish, slightly overlapping them so every bite gets some flavor.
3. Sprinkle 1 cup of the shredded mozzarella over the salami, then repeat with the remaining salami slices to create a second layer.
4. In a medium bowl, whisk the eggs until fully blended, then pour them evenly over the layered salami and cheese.
5. Top with the remaining 1 cup mozzarella and bake for 25 to 30 minutes, until the center is set and the top is melted and golden around the edges.
6. Let the bake rest for 5 to 10 minutes before slicing into squares and serving.
Variations & Tips
Add seasoning: Even though the original charm is in the three-ingredient simplicity, a little black pepper, Italian seasoning, or red pepper flakes can add more personality without changing the easy feel of the recipe.
Swap the cheese: Mozzarella gives you that classic stretchy top, but provolone, Monterey Jack, or a mild cheddar blend also work well if that is what you already have in the fridge.
Make it ahead: You can assemble the whole dish earlier in the day, cover it, and refrigerate it until dinnertime. This is especially handy on busy workdays when you want to get dinner in the oven fast.
Try mini portions: For party food or meal prep, bake the mixture in a well-greased muffin tin instead of a casserole dish. The texture stays similar, but you get easy grab-and-go portions.
Store leftovers: Leftover squares keep well in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheat nicely in the microwave or a low oven, making this one of those rare simple bakes that is just as useful for lunch as it is for dinner.
