To be honest
To be honest I am not a breakfast person. I am an intermittent faster, so I rarely eat breakfast, but I really love eggs. The Ham and Egg Cups are the perfect thing to make to get my fix for breakfast food mid day.
And…..These are easily made in a muffin tin like this one I found on Amazon.
Also, to be totally honest, I don’t really like ham all that much. However, there are a few exceptions. This ham is thin sliced and crisps up very nicely when baked. Plus, this ham hold the eggs nicely in a shape for easy transport after cooking.
My ham choice…
This is the ham I use for my Ham and Egg Cups. It’s minimally artificial and inexpensive. I also like this ham because it’s thin sliced and I can find it pretty much at every supermarket.
You can use whatever thin sliced ham you want, but make sure it’s thin sliced. You want the ham to be thick enough to hold it’s shape, but thin enough to crisp up and get firm to hold the egg and cheese in place.
Butcher Box has great meat options too…
I use a monthly meat subscription service called Butcher Box. They do not have sliced meats , but everything they have is of the highest quality and delivered right to your door.
I love their bacon…which can be used with the Ham & Eggs Cups, too. Simply precook the bacon halfway through. Then wrap inside your muffin tin before adding cheese and your egg. Then bake it all again.
Keto Breakfast or Lunch
This recipe for Ham & Egg Cups is set for just 6 serving. Honestly though, I almost always make a full dozen of these at a time. I’m a huge believer in batch cooking. Plus I never have an exact count of how many mouths to feed throughout the week.
When I make a dozen of these egg cups at a single time I’m following my steadfast rule of cook once, eat a few times.
We will have this recipe on a Sunday mid morning for 2-3 of us. Then leftovers get added to a work lunch on Monday or Tuesday. I may even have one late afternoon one day if dinner is on the run or super late.
My secret to lasting weight loss
Maintaining my weight loss, and quite frankly staying healthy, has always been the main driver for this website. Making meals like these mini Keto Ham and Egg Cups is really my trick.
Sorry, it’s that simple for me…I meal prep and almost always cook at home.
I wrote a few articles about this and will write more. Everyone needs to know that cooking at home is one of my major keys to success.
Pin this idea for later!
Every meal does not have to be epic.
When I am prepared I have a much better chance at success and maintaining my best health. At almost 50 years old I can wear a bathing suit confidently knowing I am the healthiest I’ve ever been in my life.

I’m a Beautycounter devotee and I truly love this company and their products, hence my Beautycounter Side Gig. I love their mission, their products and their affordable pricing for high-quality, safer products.
I’m super careful about what I put into my body by selecting and eating healthy food, so it’s kind of silly I haven’t been more careful about what I put into my body through the skincare products I use. Not anymore.
