Ingredients
Scale
Ingredients
- 3 large eggs
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese (can substitute with cheddar)
- 1 cup chopped pepperoni (or chopped cooked sausage or crispy bacon)
- 1 teaspoon Italian herbs (fresh herbs optional)
- 1 teaspoon salt (kosher or sea salt recommended)
Instructions
- Preparation: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a muffin tin thoroughly with cooking spray or butter to prevent sticking.
- Whisk Eggs: In a mixing bowl, whisk the 3 large eggs until the mixture turns pale and frothy. This will add structure and airiness to your muffins.
- Add Cheese and Pepperoni: Stir in the shredded mozzarella cheese and chopped pepperoni evenly into the egg mixture, ensuring an even distribution of flavors.
- Season: Add the Italian herbs and salt to the mixture and mix thoroughly to incorporate all ingredients well.
- Fill Muffin Tin: Pour the prepared mixture evenly into the greased muffin tin, filling each cup about two-thirds full to allow room for rising and baking.
- Bake: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 15 minutes or until the muffins turn golden brown on top and are set through the middle.
- Cool and Serve: Remove the muffins from the oven and allow them to cool for a few minutes before carefully removing them from the tin. Serve warm or at room temperature for a delicious keto snack.
Notes
- You can substitute pepperoni with cooked sausage or crispy bacon for a different flavor.
- For a dairy-free option, replace mozzarella with a suitable dairy-free cheese alternative.
- Make sure to grease the muffin tin well to avoid sticking issues.
- These muffins can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated before serving.
- Adding fresh Italian herbs will enhance the flavor profile but dried herbs work well for convenience.
