Ingredients
Scale
Egg Mixture
- 3 large Eggs (for structure and protein)
Cheese
- 2 cups Mozzarella Cheese (shredded, substitute with cheddar if preferred)
Meat
- 1 cup Pepperoni (or chopped cooked sausage or crispy bacon)
Seasonings
- 1 teaspoon Italian Herbs (fresh or dried)
- 1 teaspoon Salt (kosher or sea salt recommended)
Instructions
- Preparation: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a muffin tin using cooking spray or butter to prevent sticking.
- Whisk Eggs: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the 3 large eggs until they become pale and frothy, which helps incorporate air for a light texture.
- Combine Ingredients: Stir in the shredded mozzarella cheese and chopped pepperoni (or your choice of cooked sausage or bacon) into the eggs. Add the Italian herbs and salt, mixing thoroughly to evenly distribute flavors.
- Fill Muffin Tin: Pour the mixture evenly into the greased muffin tin, filling each cup about two-thirds full to allow room for rising.
- Bake: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for about 15 minutes, or until the muffins turn golden brown and are fully set.
- Cool and Serve: Remove the muffins from the oven and allow them to cool for a few minutes before carefully taking them out of the tin. Serve warm or at room temperature as a delicious keto snack.
Notes
- Feel free to swap mozzarella with cheddar cheese for a sharper flavor.
- Use fresh Italian herbs if available for a brighter taste.
- These muffins can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated before serving.
- To keep the recipe keto-friendly, avoid adding any flour or carb-rich ingredients.
