Low Carb Ham, Egg and Cheese Breakfast Cupcakes

My wife wanted us to keep the muffin pan after switching to low carb; so here’s how I put it to good use! Ham, egg, and cheese breakfast cupcakes, were the perfect thing.

This got my 2-year-old son re-interested in eating eggs after a bit of a hiatus.

Recipe is low carb and keto friendly. Serves 2 to 3.

  • Add a pinch of cheese to each cup. Then crack an egg right into each cup.

Shopping notes

I bought sandwich meat-style sliced ham and it worked well. Sliced bologna also works well, surprisingly.

Any fresh eggs, green onions, and shredded cheese should work though I used Cheddar Jack for this recipe.

You can get any brand or style of olive oil, black pepper, and dried parsley.
