INGREDIENT NOTES:

EGGS:

• Eggs give these bites their protein base and fluff, which keeps them satisfying and nutrient-dense. We use fresh, big eggs for optimal results.

CHEDDAR CHEESE:

• Cheddar cheese adds a strong flavor and a creamy texture as it melts into the eggs. We use keto-friendly cheese, such as Gouda or Monterey Jack, in place of cheddar cheese.

BELL PEPPER:

• Bell peppers are low in carbohydrates and offer natural sweetness, color, and crunch. We add red, green, or yellow peppers for variation, as all work well.

HEAVY CREAM:

• Heavy cream keeps the bites from drying out in addition to making the egg mixture creamier. Additionally, it adds fat, which is ideal for a keto-friendly balance.

BLACK PEPPER:

• Black pepper provides a little spiciness, and salt brings out the flavors. Adjust to taste if less seasoning is your preference.

GARLIC POWDER:

• The mild savory flavor of garlic powder counterbalances the richness of cheese and eggs. Another option is to add freshly minced garlic.

OLIVE OIL:

• Olive oil aids in tossing the peppers for more flavors and prevents them from sticking.
