Ingredients for Making Keto Egg Bites Recipe
- Spinach: I used baby spinach, but regular spinach will also work. Just make sure that you chop it well.
- Bacon: Make sure your bacon is sugar-free to keep this recipe keto-friendly.
- Cheese: I used shredded cheddar cheese, but you can use any type of cheese you like. Gruyere cheese is delicious here.
- Eggs: You will want to use large eggs.
- Cream: Use heavy cream, not half and half.
- Seasonings: Adjust the seasonings to your liking.
Tips & Tricks
- I don’t recommend using paper muffin cup liners with eggs because they stick badly.
- If you want to change the flavor, try adding different add-ins or seasonings to the recipe. Some great options include cheese, bacon, green onions, salsa, avocado, red bell pepper, cooked chicken, or pesto.
- For a sweet version of Keto Egg Bites, add some chopped fruit or a drizzle of sugar-free syrup.

What does the pan with water do?

It makes a steam bath in the oven so the eggs get a little fluffier.
