Keto Bacon Egg Cups

Keto Bacon Egg Cups

If you have ever stared into the fridge on a Monday morning wondering what to eat that will not derail your macros, these bacon egg cups are about to become your new best friend. The concept is beautifully simple: line a muffin tin with strips of bacon, crack an egg into each cup, add cheese, and bake. The result is a perfectly portioned, protein-packed breakfast that you can make a dozen of on Sunday and reheat all week.

Bacon egg cups have roots in the classic American diner tradition of bacon and eggs, but the muffin tin format became popular in the early 2010s as meal preppers discovered how well they hold up in the fridge. They reheat in under a minute in the microwave, or you can pop them back in the oven for a few minutes if you want to restore that crispiness. The beauty of these cups is their flexibility: swap cheddar for pepper jack, add diced bell peppers or spinach, or top with everything bagel seasoning for variety.

At roughly 200 calories and less than 1 gram of carbs per cup, these fit neatly into a keto framework without any negotiation. Make a full batch and pair them with avocado slices or a small side salad for a complete meal.
