LOW CARB HAM & EGG CUPS
Low carb ham and egg cups are the ultimate easy on-the-go breakfast. Let everyone choose their favorite add-ins so breakfast is a snap! Prep these the night before, then slide in the oven while you are getting ready for your day. A fast, delicious, low carb breakfast is definitely a thing.
You can make as many cups as you need and you can tweak the ingredients to your taste. I made 4 of these cups using colby/mozzarella cheese and I topped a few with cherry tomatoes and asparagus. They were delicious! On my next batch, I added a spoonful of Ro*tel® tomatoes and bell peppers. Some other possibilities: sriracha sauce, pesto, bacon bits, chives, etc. Be sure to check these after about 12-15 minutes of cooking for soft and delicious scrambled eggs. If you are carb counting and/or following a diet for diabetes, each cup contains about 1gm carb. Enjoy!
How to Make Ham and Egg Cups
Step 1:
Begin by spreading oil or nonstick spray into your muffin tins. You may also use muffin liners. This will make cleanup much easier. Next line the cup with a slice of ham. Here I have used lower sodium ham.
Step 2:
Add cheese to ham-lined cups. I used about 1 Tablespoon cheese in each cup.
Step 3:
Add eggs to each cup. I used a measuring cup to make pouring easier.
Step 4:
Add you favorite toppings. Here I added Ro*tel® and some diced green peppers.
Step 5:
Bake the muffin cups and enjoy!
