These keto bacon, bell pepper and cheddar eggs bites are great for breakfast or a post workout snack. Only one carb per egg bite!
Egg bites are an essential part of my weekly meal prep. They are super easy to make, the macros are on point for a keto way of eating and they taste great.
My favorite coffee chain sells some that is the inspiration for these flavors, but there are two problems with those ones. First they are kind of pricey. Four dollars for two little egg bites is hard to swallow. I mean, the two bites don’t fill you up, so it isn’t lunch. They are so much more reasonable if you make them yourself. Second, the ones at the coffee shop are 11 carbs. Um, that’s more than half my daily allotment of carbohydrates. All that being said, I do appreciate the lowish carb option when I’m out and about and hungry.
Okay, I’ve kind of become a bacon snob. I can’t remember the last time I bought a pre-packed package of bacon, it’s been months. I’ve been buying the thick sliced bacon from the butcher section at my grocer or at Sprouts. Seriously, the price is pretty much the same. I usually pay about $4.99 a pound for really thick bacon. I won’t go back to the packaged stuff.
I know I’ve mentioned this in my other recipes for egg bites, but this silicone muffin sheet has been a game changer. I had an aluminum one before that I ended up throwing away because the egg was so hard to clean out.
