Eating a low carb breakfast can get boring after a while, so add a little zing to your day with these easy Low Carb Egg Muffins!

My husband and I have been trying to eat low carb for the past few months. We both feel so much better than we did before and are seeing some weight loss, which is so encouraging! The only problem we have really run into is finding something to eat for breakfast. We both love eggs, but needed something that was easy to make on busy mornings. Also, eating the same old thing was getting boring. These low carb egg muffins have been a game changer! I can make them ahead of time so we can freeze and reheat them as needed, which totally rocks. The other thing I love about these egg muffins is that we can change the ingredients so we aren’t just having the same ones all of the time. Some different options for adding to them are any variety of cheeses (we love pepperjack), ham, bacon, turkey bacon, sausage, peppers, onions, sun dried tomatoes, mushrooms, cherry tomatoes, broccoli, artichoke hearts and so much more. The possibilities are endless. They could really be called a crustless quiche since they are so versatile and are baked. Anyhoo, we have absolutely loved adding them to our breakfast menu, and sometimes eat them as a quick snack! I’m going to share the ham and cheese version of theses low carb egg muffins with you today…feel free to swap out different cheeses, meats and veggies to make them your own!

    These sound great, but what kind if nutritional value are they?

      Eggs are a great source of protein, and these are low in carbs as well. These are a great alternative to starchy, sugar filled breakfast foods.
