PINÂ Keto Low Carb Egg Muffins With Ham

Today I bring to you a new kind of meal: the brappetizer.
It’s a little bit of breakfast and a little bit of appetizer all in.one.dish. Basically the best egg snack ever.
Eat these keto egg muffins for breakfast before you make yourself presentable to the world OR at a fancy party in fancy clothes with your pinky up.
It is your choice. All options will be equally delicious.
The greatest part of these keto egg cups is that they look like you slaved in the kitchen whipping up the fanciest of food that only the queen (or king) of Fancy Pants Land would eat.
Guess what? You didn’t.
You spent a grand total of 5 minutes in there, and half the time you weren’t even paying attention because “Greys Anatomy” was on TV.
I could just be speaking for myself though.
Really though, these little Mediterranean-inspired healthy breakfast egg muffins with ham could not be any easier. Just shove a muffin tin full of some deli ham and then throw a little feta and spinach in there. Top if off with some eggs and throw that bad boy in the oven. When they come out, make them extra prettiful with some pesto, roasted red peppers and basil…BAM!
Apparently 2018 has turned me into Emeril Lagasse. I hope the hubs doesn’t mind the change.
The hubster and I ate these spinach breakfast egg muffins as part of our Thanksgiving appetizers and we both totally fell in love with them. This is a very good thing because the batches following the original breakfast egg muffins just did not work out. It’s actually a sore spot and I don’t want to talk about it, which means that I will tell you about it anyways.
The first time I tried these these keto low carb egg muffins with ham were BEAUTIFUL, 10 times more so than these pictures guys. But, we ate them all.
So, I had to make them again because I can’t post pictures of empty plates and tell you to use your imaginations. The next few batches were ugly. So, so ugly.
Some exploded, some sunk, and some looked like egg hockey pucks. But, EVENTUALLY, I got it RIGHT and learned how to NAIL healthy egg muffin cups.
How to make egg muffins
- Line each cavity of a muffin pan with a slice of ham, trying to not leave any space between the ham.
- Fill each muffin cavity with a little bit of each filling ingredient. Doing it this way, as opposed to just mixing it all together in a bowl, will ensure ALL the muffins have a good amount of the “fixins”
- Pour the eggs on top until all the filling is covered. Do not beat the eggs too much! This is the key to ensure they don’t fall!
How long to cook egg muffins
You want to cook the eggs in the oven until they are puffy and the top feels set, which is about 15-17 minutes in a 400 degree oven!
Needless to say, we have mountains of ham and egg cups exploding out of our fridge. This is why it is a very good thing that we devoured these because we will have to continue to do so for the rest of our LIVES.
Between the pile of keto low carb egg muffins with ham, the rest of the leftover appetizers and Mr.FFF’s leftover hard apple cider, it looks like the inside of our refrigerator is about to throw its own shin dig.
Brappetizer, that’s what’s for breakfast. Or dinner. The world is your oyster.
