Tips For Making It Tastier
If you're someone fancy and want a whole five-star breakfast, you could add some extra ingredients to your egg muffins.
A great option would be cheese.
I mean, come on, who doesn't love cheese? It is a need for us in order to live happily.
Just mix some cheese in the batter and a little bit on the top. Though you could use any type of cheese you have but I would recommend cheddar or mozzarella cheese.
If you don't like vegetables as much as I do, then no worries, you could add pepperoni or sausage to your egg muffins.
Make sure your oven is preheated. Bake them in the oven for 10 minutes.
Important Note:
Every oven is different, so the timing also differs for everyone. It may take longer or even shorter to bake these delicious egg muffins. Just make sure to keep an eye on them on your first try, and the next time you make these, you will know how long to bake them for.
These egg muffins are not only delicious, but they are also keto-friendly and low in calories.
It only contains around 300-350 calories. But if you actually are fancy and decide to add extra ingredients, then it may contain around 400-480 calories, depending on the quantity and type of cheese, etc.
