Keto Bacon, Egg & Cheese Cups – Low Carb Breakfast Recipe

Perfect On The Go Keto Breakfast!

One of our first recipes, when we started Tasteaholics back in 2015, was a simple Mini Crustless Quiches recipe. We used to eat our mini quiches all the time since they were so great for bringing to work with us. As long as we had a microwave around us, we had a nutritious, filling breakfast even though we rushed out the door that morning.

Our mini quiche recipe is still super popular to this day! We know you all love the portability and low carb count, of course. These tasty Keto Bacon, Egg & Cheese cups are no different. They’re quick to bake and you can enjoy them all week. They are a little different than our go-to crustless quiches but they are just as tasty and a good way to switch it up, giving you a whole new breakfast to enjoy.

For those that swear by meal prep, you can bet these will become staples in your low carb diet quickly. You can make the recipe in its entirety and then store the leftovers in your fridge. The recipe makes 12 servings, or 12 little egg cups (you may want two or even three for breakfast depending on how hungry you are and your macro goals) so making this recipe on a Sunday is a great way to set yourself up for breakfast for the entire week! How could these not become part of your weekly routine? They’re the quintessential keto breakfast baked into an adorable, portable package.

As with most of our recipes, you can alter them to fit your tastes. Don’t like cheddar? Use mozzarella, or feta, or even brie! Any kind of cheese is delicious in these little cups- I’d even recommend a cheese blend! You can also just use whatever you have on hand, switching the cheese every time you make the recipe in order to keep these egg cups fresh and exciting.

You can also change the kind of meat used in this low carb breakfast. Feel free to use turkey bacon, salami or perhaps even just mushrooms for a vegetarian spin. Chopped kale is also a great substitute for the spinach or you can try adding some shredded Brussels sprouts. What combination will you come up with?! These Bacon Egg & Cheese Cups are so versatile!

And, since we know people are going to ask – yes, you can make 1 giant Bacon, Egg & Cheese Cup in the form of a pie! Just lay that bacon along the bottom of your pan, prebake it a bit in the oven, and assemble one giant cup! Use a pie pan, cheesecake pan or small casserole dish (note: depending on your bakeware, you may need to double the ingredients)!

If you loved this breakfast recipe, you might enjoy these low carb breakfast cookies. They are healthy, savory, and are like an omelet and biscuit rolled into one!

Press the slice down, it will stick up on either side (these are your handles!)

Wring out any extra water from the spinach beforehand with a clean kitchen towel or paper towel. Stir the spinach into the eggs,

Scoop 1/4 cup of egg mixture into each muffin well, filling them up about 3/4 of the way.

Sprinkle the tops evenly with the shredded cheese and season with salt and pepper.

Bake on the middle rack for 15 minutes.

These need to be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator, and heated up before enjoying.
