Meat Lovers Egg Muffins are a keto-friendly breakfast made with eggs, onion, crispy bacon, flavorful pork sausage and shredded cheddar cheese topped with chives.
The husband and myself have been transitioning our diet the last couple weeks to have lower carbohydrates. We aren’t completely keto yet but slowly making those changes. A big change has been breakfast time and we have been good about giving up the regular foods like cereal, toast or waffles. Now, we are trying to incorporate lots of eggs and meat to start the morning.
Meat Lovers Egg Muffins
Meat Lovers Egg Muffins are meaty and delicious. Dice up some crispy, cooked bacon and brown some pork sausage. Spray a muffin pan well and then fill each portion with a bit of each. Add in some diced onion and then whisk one egg into each muffin. Sprinkle on some cheese and then bake. The egg poofs up in the oven and leaves you with this perfect little egg muffin.
Tips & Tricks
Reheat
Meat Lovers Egg Muffins are perfect for meal prep. Make a batch on Sunday night and heat them up in the mornings. To reheat, pop two in the microwave for 1 minute, 10 seconds and enjoy. Consume within 5 days and keep refrigerated.
