These filling keto egg bake muffins can be cooked in 11-15 minutes minutes and are an excellent source of protein. This is one of my favorite egg recipes whether I am on a keto diet or not.

How to make breakfast egg muffins
To make keto friendly egg cups, preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Spray a 12 count muffin pan with cooking spray.
Place ham in each container in the muffin tin, folding it so it fits in like a basket. Next, sprinkle some shredded cheese on top of the ham.
Next, add spinach to the keto egg muffins.
Finally, crack an egg into each muffin/cupcake pan slot on top of the spinach.
Top the egg cups with salt, pepper, and paprika.
Bake for 11 minutes for soft boiled eggs or bake the full 15 minutes for hard boiled eggs.
Depending on how you like your breakfast recipes, you can serve these with bacon on the side. I think no breakfast is complete without bacon.
You can garnish keto breakfasts with chopped green onions if you'd like.
