Ultimate Keto Blue Cheese and Bacon Egg Muffins

79 ratings

The ratings say it all: this Keto breakfast recipe is worthy of 5 stars! Egg muffins are rich in omega-3 fats, and you get extra fat from the bacon and blue cheese too. The bacon and blue cheese combo complement each other perfectly and make the recipe good for more than just breakfast. Eat one (or two) of these Keto egg muffins for lunch, one as a side dish to a bigger meal, or as a snack. Since the recipe is rich in fat, these egg muffins are good to eat after a workout too. The fats will replenish you as well as give you that slow-burning fuel you’re working for on the Keto diet.

Working out on the Keto diet

Working out on the Keto diet does not have to look like anything labor-intensive. In fact, most of the time the opposite may be recommended to you. Light workouts like walking or jogging, yoga, etc are good exercise routines for most on the Keto diet. Of course, your doctor will know what’s best for you. Never start an intense workout plan on the Keto diet without the recommendation from a doctor.

I don’t like blue cheese

Don’t like blue cheese? No problem! Try substituting the blue cheese with crumbled feta or goat cheese. Diced whole-milk mozzarella cheese can also be substituted here. These types of cheese will react to the heat the same way as blue cheese does and give the same texture in your final recipe.

More to add

Looking for more ideas for what to add to your egg muffins? Try adding chopped spinach or other diced vegetables like peppers or onions. You can substitute the bacon with other cooked meats. Think of diced ham, crumbled pork sausage, or finely shredded chicken. Add a second shredded cheese to the egg muffins to make them extra cheesy at your discretion.

    Not a fan of blue cheese but I gave it a try anyway! The cheese is too strong tasting for me. Husband loved it.

      Do I use a regular size muffin pan or a mini one?

        I see no one responded to your question so I'm just gonna say that if the serving size for 2 is 3.5 ounces it's probably mini muffins. But it's a great question.

                This is a great base recipe. I’ve made these several times and often swap out ingredients for whatever I have in the fridge. Smoked salmon, sausage, sautéed peppers, etc. just do not overfill those cups! And I put a sheet pan under the muffin tin just in case to catch any overflow.

                  Not a blue or feta cheese fan. Can I use shredded mozzarella without it changing the net carb count to much?

                    If your mozzarella has the same or less Carbs than the blue cheese, sure it would work.

                  This may be a silly question. I started Keto 2 days ago. Do you drain the bacon fat from the pan before adding the spinach? I didn’t see that step so I went ahead and added the spinach and the cheese. But it’s very “watery”. Did I miss a step?

                    You can also use bacon grease to grease the muffin pan.

                    Is it watery or greasy? I would drain as it could result in the muffins being very greasy. Just depends on your bacon how much fat is rendered during cooking. If it is actually watery then it’s a different source.for example, frozen spinach can release a lot of water when cooked

                      My son is vegetarian and he puts green pepper in everything. I bet mushroom would be good also.

                            Just wondering if anyone used less eggs. I can’t take lots of egg.

                              You can add heavy whipping cream but you will have to change the macros (fat content)

                              One serving is two eggs though.
