⭐ How to Make Low-Carb Egg Bites
1. Preheat the Oven
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
Generously grease each section of a muffin tin with butter or non-stick spray to prevent sticking.
2. Add the Eggs
Crack one egg directly into each muffin cup.
Lightly season each egg with salt and black pepper.
(You can also whisk all eggs together first for a smoother texture, but cracking them directly keeps it quick and rustic.)
3. Add Cheese & Protein
Sprinkle a layer of shredded cheese over each egg.
Top with chopped cooked bacon, ham, or sausage.
4. Bake
Place the muffin tin in the oven and bake for 15 minutes, or until egg whites are set and centers are just firm.
5. Cool & Serve
Remove from oven and let cool for 2–3 minutes.
Gently loosen edges with a knife and lift out.
Serve warm or allow to cool for meal prep.
