What are Keto Egg Muffin Cups?

Keto egg muffin cups are a breakfast food made with eggs, ham, and cheese. They’re similar to quiche but without the crust. These little egg cups are perfect for on-the-go breakfasts or snacks. And they’re great for meal prep because you can make a batch ahead of time and reheat them when you’re ready to eat.

You can customize these muffin tin eggs any way that you like. I am using ham and cheese but you can add in veggies like peppers, onions, or spinach as well as using different meats.

Can I Freeze Keto Egg Muffin Cups?

Yes! These egg cups freeze well. After the egg muffin cups have cooled completely, simply place them in a freezer-safe container and store them for up to 3 months. When you’re ready to eat, just reheat in the microwave for a quick and easy breakfast. You can also wrap them individually in plastic wrap and then place them all in a freezer bag and store them in the freezer in individual serving sizes.

How to Reheat

I like to microwave them at 15 second intervals. Depending on the strength of the microwave, it can take up to 45 seconds to reheat these healthy egg muffins. Be careful not to overheat the eggs or they can taste rubbery.

Can I Use a Different Meat

I am using ham for these keto egg cups, but you can easily swap it out for something else. That is the beauty in this recipe. You can make breakfast exactly what you are looking for. Swap out the ham for bacon or sausage. You can use leftover ground beef or steak that you have from dinner the night before. You can even use shredded chicken. Chorizo sausage tastes fantastic and so does hot Italian sausage. There is no end to how you can make these keto ham and cheese egg muffin cups.

Whatever meat you add to the muffin cups, make sure that you have precooked it. The meat will not cook in the oven.

How Many Carbs are in Keto Egg Muffins

This recipe is very low in carbs. There is no crust to the egg muffins and the other ingredients are ultra low in carbs. While the carb count will vary depending on the type of ham that you use, generally, there is about 1 carb per muffin. This number will also change depending on if you add more things to the recipe like veggies.

Variations of the recipe

Change up the meat. I like using ham but you can change up the meat if you want to and use bacon, steak, sausage. Just be sure to cook the meat before putting it in the egg cups as it will not cook all the way in the oven. If we have a holiday dinner and have ham, then I will use the leftover ham and mix it into the eggs instead of laying the egg muffins with the meat.

Change up the cheese. I like using cheddar cheese but you can use any type of cheese that you want. I also suggest that you shred the cheese yourself instead of buying preshredded cheese. The pre-shredded cheese has an addictive in it so the cheese doesn’t stick together. My favorite cheeses to use aside from cheddar are pepper jack, and Monterey jack cheese.

Change up the veggies. I like using green peppers, and onions but you can change them out and use different colored bell peppers, asparagus, or any other low carb vegetable that you want to.
