📖 Variations

There are an infinite number of variations to this basic recipe because you can use different combinations of your favorite ingredients. Some of my favorites are:

  • Breakfast sausage and a little sausage grease can be used in place of the bacon for a change of flavor. Make sure it's keto-friendly!
  • If you are a fan of spicy eggs, replace the bell peppers with sliced jalapeno peppers.
  • Swiss cheese is delicious in this recipe!
  • Love garlic? Add some garlic powder to the eggs for a delicious garlic taste.
  • Cottage cheese is a great substitute for cream cheese in this recipe.
  • If you don't have bacon grease on hand you can use oil or even melted butter when greasing your muffin pan.
