Make Sure To Cook Your Bacon First

The most satisfying element of this recipe is the contrast of crispy bacon with the smooth, creamy egg. That means we need the best bacon, and it must be cooked to perfection.

So, cook your bacon using one of these methods before placing it into the muffin pan

• Put bacon on a sheet pan and cook at 350 degrees for 5-10 min until edges begin to crisp
• Place on a wire rack on a sheet pan and bake at 400 degrees for 3-5 min until it begins to change color
• Cook in a skillet on medium/medium-high heat until edges are golden, and bacon begins to curl
• Cook on a hot grill pan until bacon begins to firm

Any way you precook the bacon, you need to let it cool enough to handle before placing in the muffin pan. Wrap it around and for ease of lifting, allow it to curl inward at the bottom. This will act as a small ledge to help hold the egg.

This is how it should look before you put it into the oven.

Customize Your Keto Bacon Egg Muffins

These egg muffins are the ultimate low carb base for a wealth of tasty options. Delicious on their own, and wonderfully portable, they are equally delicious with a few nutritious additions.

• For a Mexican twist, top with (keto and paleo) guacamole
• Top with greens and green goddess dressing for a salad cup
• Slice and use in place of hard-boiled egg in a Keto cobb salad

Keto Egg Recipes

Why eggs on a Keto diet?

Eggs are loaded with Omega-3 fatty acids, protein, vitamin A, Biotin, portability, and flexibility. So, the real question is why NOT eggs?

However, as you are probably already aware, not all eggs are created equal. And we should all strive to get the best eggs we can afford.

Cage-free, pasture raised, free range. These are all terms that potentially increase the quality and nutrient profile of an egg. Buying from a local farmer when possible also increases the likelihood that the chickens are cared for more individually and allowed to run free. Always be curious! Ask questions, know where your food is coming from and demand quality – you deserve it.

Ingredients

• 6 slice of bacon
• 6 eggs
• 6 Tablespoons of almond flour
• 2 Tablespoons of garlic powder (or other seasonings)

---

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 350 F (170 C).
2. Cook the bacon so that it’s not crispy and won’t break when you fold it. You can cook the bacon in the skillet or in the oven or even in the microwave.
3. Wrap the bacon slice around the inside of a muffin/cupcake cup making a ring.
4. If your muffin/cupcake pan isn’t non-stick, then put a 1/4 teaspoon of melted coconut into the base of the pan – this is just to prevent the egg sticking to the cup.
5. Crack the egg into the muffin/cupcake cup – don’t worry, it shouldn’t overflow.
6. Bake for 15 minutes.
7. Mix together the almond flour and garlic powder.  Sprinkle on top of the muffins and serve.
