How to Make Keto Bacon Egg Cups

To make these egg cups takes just around 25 minutes. You can meal prep them for the days to come, so you can start your mornings full.

Ingredients You'll Need:

• bacon slices
• eggs
• salt and black pepper
• mature cheddar cheese
• dried oregano

Step-by-step Instructions

First of all, get your oven ready and preheat to 400F (200C). We want it to be at that temperature when we're ready to bake egg cups.

Now, get a regular muffin tin like this one here and wrap the insides of it with bacon slices. You should be using thin bacon slices for this to work.

Bake the bacon in the oven for 10 minutes and then take it out.

If you haven't shredded your cheddar, get a grater and do it. Grate just enough to have around ¼ of a cup.

We don't need a lot of it.

Now, when the bacon is out of the oven, we'll want to pour out the excess grease. We want to make sure our egg cups are firm enough to stay together.

Afterward, crack an egg into each muffin cup. Do make sure that bacon slices are hugging the walls of the muffin tin so that the egg sets right into the middle.

Finally, sprinkle with some salt, black pepper, and grated mature cheese. I finished them up with a little bit of oregano.

However, you can use any herb of choice.

Now just pop that right into the oven and bake for another 10 minutes. You can remove the bacon egg cups with a spoon or a knife.

How Long Can You Keep Egg Muffins in the Fridge?

You can keep egg muffins in the fridge for up to 5 days. Just make sure you store them in airtight food storage containers to keep them fresh longer.

I recommend these glass food storage containers here. If you prefer something lighter, these BPA-free plastic food storage containers are a good option.

How to Reheat Egg Cups?

To reheat these egg cups, all you need to do is pop them in the microwave. Then heat them for 20 to 30 seconds.
