KETO EGG CUPS
An easy keto breakfast you can meal prep in minutes with just three ingredients – egg, ham and cheese! Keto egg cups are kid approved and a perfect egg muffin replacement.
How to make egg cups?
With only three ingredients, keto egg cups are one of the simplest low carb breakfast recipes you can make.
- Simply lay down half slices of ham into the cavities a greased muffin tin.
- Then top with shredded cheese.
- Crack an egg into each cavity.
- Season with salt and pepper and bake for 10-15 minutes!
- Wait, stop here
- This keto recipe is focused on the convenience of making a simple breakfast, literally there are only 3 ingredients, but that doesn’t mean you cannot take this recipe and use it as a foundation for something more.
- Furthermore, I have found success on the keto diet comes from variations, experimenting and trial and error.
- Other variations or items you could add:
- Bacon – either replace the ham or crumble it, just make sure you cook it first
- Cheese – really lots of cheeses will work, you’re the boss and have fun with it
- Ground sausage – similar to using a keto bacon above, taking sausage and adding it would add some alternative flavors and textures
- Low carb vegetables – what about bell pepper, onion or spinach?
- Prosciutto – not always a breakfast meat, but could be an alternative to ham
- Seasonings – obviously salt and pepper, but garlic powder could do be interesting
- Let me know in the comments section at the bottom if you try any of these variations and if you have a new favorite!
