Keto bacon and egg muffins

7 March, 2022 . 0

For a quick breakfast or on-the-go snack, you can’t go wrong with these keto muffins. They’re high protein, low carb and can be made in advance for busy days.

Ingredients

6 rashers streaky bacon
12 large eggs
3 large egg yolks
150 ml whole milk
120 g (3/4 cup) goat’s cheese
1 handful flat-leaf parsley leaves
6-8 chive stalks
salt
freshly ground black pepper

Method

Step 1.
Preheat the oven to 190°C (170° fan). Line a cupcake or muffin tin with six silicone cupcake or muffin cases.

Step 2.
Preheat a grill to hot. Arrange the bacon on a grilling tray and grill until golden-brown and crisp at the edges, turning a few times, 6-8 minutes. Remove from the grill and set aside.

Step 3.
In a large mixing bowl, beat together the eggs, egg yolk, and milk with plenty of salt and pepper to taste. Crumble in the goat’s cheese, folding to combine.

Step 4.
Arrange the bacon in the muffin cases. Ladle the egg mixture on top. Bake until the muffins are risen and set, 15-20 minutes.

Step 5.
In the meantime, chop the parsley and chives. To serve, let the muffins cool briefly before serving with a garnish of the herbs.
