Low Carb Breakfast Cups Made in a Muffin Tin
This has got to be one of the easiest breakfast ideas I’ve ever made. Seriously, easy! This is a Low Carb Breakfast Cups Made in a Muffin Tin!
I was looking in my refrigerator trying to decide what in the world to make for breakfast. I knew I would make eggs but what kind? Omelets? Maybe scrambled eggs? Eggs over easy? Eggs Benedict? Geez… there are so many different ways to eat eggs but I wanted something different.
I started taking, even more, items from my refrigerator and soon I would have one heck of a breakfast treat!
Low Carb Breakfast Cups Made in a Muffin Tin Ingredients
- Eggs
- Precooked bacon slices
- Mozzarella cheese, shredded
- Pepperoni slices
- Optional: Low Carb tortillas
Low Carb Breakfast Cups Made in a Muffin Tin Instructions
First, I started off cutting up 3 low carb tortillas into 4 triangles each. This gave me 12 different strips of tortilla to line the bottom of the muffin tin with. This is an optional step. If you are doing the Ketogenic diet, this would not be an approved item to have on this diet. I get my low carb tortillas from our local HEB grocery store.
Next, I layer one slice of bacon cut in half in a crisscross pattern at the bottom of the muffin tin. I usually precook a big batch of bacon that I purchase in bulk from Zaycon. (That’s an excellent way to get high-quality meats at a fraction of the normal prices you pay at the grocery stores) If I run out before I am able to order again, I will splurge a bit and purchase the precooked bacon from Costco too.
Layer about 2 pepperoni rounds on top of the bacon strips.
Add a small amount of shredded mozzarella cheese (about a tablespoon or so) on top of the pepperoni rounds.
Top the last layer with one egg.
Sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste and bake it at 325 degrees for about 20 minutes. If you like the egg a bit runny in the middle be sure to bake them for only about 15 minutes or so.
The nutrition amounts will depend on the cheese, bacon, and pepperoni you use. You can figure it in My Fitness pal.
If you need to make a quick breakfast for a large group of people, this one works out nicely. These also save nicely in the refrigerator for the week too! I store them in a large container and warm them up right before I eat them.

Here are a few photos we took when we made them:
We like to top them with Sriracha sauce or Red Hot sauce too! YUMMY!
