Ingredients:

  • 8 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or your favorite)
  • 1/2 cup cooked bacon or sausage, crumbled
  • 1/2 cup diced bell peppers
  • 1/4 cup diced onion
  • 1/4 cup chopped spinach or kale
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Cooking spray or muffin liners

Instructions:

  1. Preheat the Oven:
    • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a muffin tin with cooking spray or line with muffin liners.
  2. Prepare the Egg Mixture:
    • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and heavy cream until well combined. Season with salt and pepper.
  3. Add the Fillings:
    • Stir in the shredded cheese, cooked bacon or sausage, diced bell peppers, diced onion, and chopped spinach or kale. Mix until evenly distributed.
  4. Fill the Muffin Tin:
    • Pour the egg mixture into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 3/4 full. The muffins will puff up as they bake.
  5. Bake:
    • Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the muffins are set and lightly golden on top. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out clean.
  6. Cool and Serve:
    • Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for a few minutes before removing them. Serve warm, or let them cool completely and store in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.

Tips:

  • Customize the muffins with your favorite keto-friendly ingredients like mushrooms, tomatoes, or different types of cheese.
  • These muffins freeze well. To reheat, simply microwave for 30-60 seconds or warm them in the oven.
  • Use a silicone muffin tin for easy removal and cleanup.
