Keto Bacon Egg Cups are the perfect low carb recipe to make for breakfast or brunch. You can prepare these Keto Bacon Egg Cups ahead of time and then heat them up when company is getting ready to arrive or pull them fresh out of the oven. It is even better to make them ahead for those busy work mornings!
I personally like to batch cook them on Sunday. I double the recipe and prepare and bake and then place into the refrigerator. Each morning I simply microwave them for 30-45 seconds and enjoy! It makes for an easy breakfast on the go and is a great way to menu plan and prep ahead. Also great with managing portions.
This is a delicious breakfast that is full of taste and easy to make. It is Gluten Free (just be sure your Bacon is nitrate free and gluten free) and it is also Paleo (when you eliminate the cheese). Depending on if you eat dairy or not, it is your choice to add it or not. You can eliminate the cheese and add spinach or do a combo of both. I hope you enjoy Keto Bacon Egg Cups as much as I do. This recipe is included in our popular Beginner Keto Meal Plan.

Have you ever reheated these in the microwave? Our oven takes about 20 minutes to heat up, which doesn't work on the crazy mornings.
Melissa@StockpilingMoms
Yes! Always! I prep Sunday for the week!
Bern
hI, not to seem obtuse, But how long do you reheat these in the microwave, I'm guessing 30 seconds at full power?
also, I'm about to try this recipe / plan: To be honest, this feels a little skimpy for breakfast, one egg/one piece of bacon. I eat breakfast at 6am. I think I'm going to be , oh, chewing my wrist rest on my desk by 10am...
Am I missing something, some page of the outline. Thanks!!!
Melissa@StockpilingMoms
I do 20-30 seconds. My husband eats 3 a day for breakfast. I eat 2 a day for breakfast.

Is this from frozen or thawed?

Do you have a macro breakdown on these or should I just enter everything into my app?
Melissa@StockpilingMoms
I am sorry we don't.
Lisa
Hi Sheryl, Did you ever do the macro breakdown for these? Thanks so much.
Kim

I prep on Sunday for the week and they are good through Friday.

Does the bacon get crispy? Do the muffins get greasy from the bacon?
Melissa@StockpilingMoms
They did get done but not cripsy. No they didn't seem greasy to us.

I made these in ramekins rather than a muffin pan and they turned out beautifully. I put roasted red peppers, sauted mushrooms and garlic along with goat cheese in mine. I also topped with avocado slices and angry mayo. DELICIOUS!
