Keto Cream Cheese Egg Cups
These are easy-to-make keto cream cheese egg cups. You will want them even when you don’t have those hectic, “got to get out of the house” mornings You can make these ahead of time, (on Sunday for example) and have them for a week of breakfasts. Store these in the fridge. When ready to eat, just wrap in a paper towel, then reheat in the microwave and your breakfast is done.

Breakfast Anyone?
These egg cups hit on all my favorites: cream cheese, eggs, cheese, bacon, and a few veggies to even it all out. It is like having a big Saturday breakfast every day of the week. You may be asking yourself, “Why cream cheese in eggs?” Why not?! It gives a richness to the eggs that you are not able to get with just regular cream. You may never want to go back to just dull old eggs after tasting these!
Make It Your Own
Even though I give a full recipe here, of course, you can change out the add-ins. Such as putting cooked sausage in place of bacon or mushrooms in place of peppers and onions. Be creative and make them what you want. Enjoy!!!

When bacon has drained some and cooled a little. Cut the bacon width wise into 1 ½ inch slices. You should have at least 12 pieces when you are done. If you have a few extra you can stick them in the cups or just eat them. Yum! Set bacon aside.

Blend mixture until smooth and you can’t see any lumps from the cream cheese.

Bake for 20 minutes or until you can insert a knife or toothpick in the center of each cup and it comes out clean.

Remove egg cups by sliding a knife around the edge of each cup and pop each one out. Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up 5-6 days.
