How to Make Keto Egg Muffins

You can easily make and store delicious low-carb egg muffins for a quick breakfast at home.

Here’s a step-by-step guide you need to make them (scroll down to the recipe card for more details):

  • Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
  • Line a muffin tin with paper baking cups or a slice of bacon, grease a silicone muffin tin with butter, or use a nonstick muffin tray.
  • Whisk eggs, salt, and pepper until everything is well-mixed.
  • Add the cheese and mix the mixture. I prefer cheddar or emmental, but you can use any other medium-hard cheese. No matter how I vary the recipe, shredded cheese is essential.
  • Onions or scallions are the other ingredient that is non-negotiable. However, you can incorporate other vegetables into your egg muffin variation. Green peppers, red peppers, mushrooms, or zucchini are also great for this breakfast recipe.
  • Gently fold onions, optional vegetables, ham, bacon, or diced salami into the egg mixture.
  • Then, pour the egg mixture evenly into each muffin tin.
  • Depending on the muffin tin size, you must bake the mixture for 15-20 minutes until it is set. Keep an eye on the muffins so they don’t get too dark.
  • Two muffins make breakfast you can easily store and take everywhere. You can also serve the keto egg muffins as a snack between meals.

Storing and Freezing

  • Storing: These no-carb breakfast egg muffins will keep in the fridge for up to a week. I remove them from the silicone baking cups and store them in a large, airtight container.
  • Freezing: You can make keto egg muffins in bulk and freeze them quickly. After baking, please wait 15 minutes for them to cool completely. Then, wrap them individually in plastic wrap. Then, put them in a large zip-top bag and freeze the egg muffins for up to three months.

Reheat Instructions

Muffins from the refrigerator take 45 seconds in the microwave on high heat until ready to serve.

Unwrap the frozen muffins from the plastic wrap to reheat. Heat them in the microwave in 30-second increments until warmed through.
