Directions
Make the Keto Noodles
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 9 × 13-inch (23 × 33 cm) baking dish with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the eggs and softened cream cheese with a hand mixer until smooth and creamy.
- Add the grated Parmesan, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix until evenly combined.
- Fold in the shredded mozzarella until incorporated.
- Spread the mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish, creating a smooth, uniform layer.
- Bake for 25–30 minutes, until golden brown and set.
- Remove from the oven and transfer the noodle sheet, still on the parchment paper, to a cooling rack. Refrigerate for 20–30 minutes to firm up.
- Once cooled, cut the sheet into three equal sections to create the lasagna layers.
Prepare the Creamy Dijon Sauce
- In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the heavy cream, Parmesan cheese, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper.
- Stir continuously as the mixture heats, allowing the cheese to melt and the sauce to thicken.
- Reduce the heat to low and keep warm, stirring occasionally.
Assemble the Lasagna
- Pour ¼ cup of the sauce into the bottom of a standard loaf pan.
- Place the first keto noodle layer over the sauce.
- Arrange 6 slices of ham over the noodle layer, followed by 2 slices of Swiss cheese, half of the shredded chicken, 3 tablespoons of ricotta, and a sprinkle of parsley.
- Add the second noodle layer. Pour another ¼ cup of sauce over it, then repeat the layers with 6 slices of ham, 2 slices of Swiss cheese, the remaining chicken, the remaining ricotta, and parsley.
- Place the final noodle layer on top. Spread another ¼ cup of sauce over it, then arrange the remaining 6 slices of ham and the last 2 slices of Swiss cheese.
- Sprinkle the remaining Parmesan cheese and parsley over the top.
- Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 25–30 minutes, until heated through and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Allow the lasagna to rest briefly before slicing. Serve with the remaining warm Dijon cream sauce spooned over each portion. Enjoy!
