Description

Make these simple egg muffin cups for a fantastic grab and go breakfast. They are perfect for keto egg bites and great for packing lunches.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 12 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup milk (any kind)
  • 1/2 cup chopped cooked ham or turkey bacon
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/4 cup chopped bell peppers (any color)
  • 1/4 cup chopped spinach
  • Salt and pepper to taste


Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Lightly grease a 12-cup muffin tin or use silicone liners.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk the eggs and milk together until well combined and slightly frothy. Season with salt and pepper.
  3. Distribute the chopped ham or turkey bacon, cheese, bell peppers, and spinach evenly among the prepared muffin cups.
  4. Carefully pour the egg mixture over the fillings in each cup, filling them about three-quarters full.
  5. Bake for 15 to 18 minutes, or until the eggs are set and the tops are lightly golden.
  6. Remove the tin from the oven and let the egg muffin cups cool in the tin for about 5 minutes before carefully removing them.
  7. For meal prep, cool completely, then store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. You can also freeze them for longer storage.

Notes

  • To freeze these low carb breakfast bites, place cooled cups on a baking sheet until frozen solid, then transfer to a freezer-safe bag. Reheat from frozen in the microwave for 1 to 2 minutes.
  • Feel free to swap out the mix-ins for your favorites, like mushrooms, onions, or different cheeses.
  • These muffin tin eggs reheat well in the microwave or a toaster oven for a quick protein packed snack.
