  • Eggs (the protein base)

  • Chopped veggies: spinach, bell peppers, onions, mushrooms, or tomatoes
  • Cheese: cheddar, feta, or mozzarella
  • Salt, pepper, and herbs for seasoning

How to Make Easy Low-Carb Breakfast Cups

Step 1: Prepare the Ingredients

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a muffin tin or line it with silicone liners. Chop your veggies and cook any meat you’re using.

 

Step 2: Whisk the Eggs

In a bowl, beat eggs with salt, pepper, and herbs of choice until combined.

Step 3: Assemble

Distribute meat and veggies evenly into each muffin cup. Pour the egg mixture over the fillings, filling each cup about ¾ full. Sprinkle cheese on top.

Step 4: Bake

Bake for 18–22 minutes, or until the eggs are set and the tops are slightly golden.

Step 5: Cool and Store

Let cool before removing from the tin. Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days, or freeze for longer storage.


Tips for the Perfect Breakfast Cups

  • Use a fork to gently loosen cups from the tin to keep them intact.
  • Experiment with different cheeses and herbs for new flavors.
  • Add a pinch of chili flakes or hot sauce for a spicy kick.
  • For dairy-free, skip the cheese or use a plant-based alternative.

Serving Suggestions

  • Enjoy warm with avocado slices or a side of fresh fruit.
  • Pair with a dollop of sour cream or salsa for extra flavor.
  • Pack a few in your lunchbox for a protein boost during the day.
