INGREDIENTS NOTES:

EGGS:

• We have to use large & fresh eggs. Eggs keep the muffins moist but substantial and they are also the primary source of protein.

HAM:

• We have to use ham that is free of sugar and nitrates to make the keto-friendly muffins. We use the deli ham, or cooked ham for ease. We would also utilized the cooked bacon or sausage for the different flavors.

BELL PEPPER:

• We have to use fresh red and green bell peppers for a vibrant, crunchy bite. We have to finely cut the bell pepper to guarantee uniform cooking and a pleasing texture in every muffin.

YELLOW ONIONS:

• Yellow onions give a subtle sweetness and flavor depth. You can use green onions or shallots in in place of onions if you want to reduce more carbs in the dish.

SHARP CHEDDAR CHEESE:

• Sharp cheddar cheese adds richness and melts delightfully. We can also use other various cheeses, such as mozzarella, Colby Jack, or Monterey Jack for the soft flavor of these muffins.

HEAVY CREAM:

• Heavy Cream keeps the eggs soft and makes these muffins more indulgent. We would also utilize the almond milk as a substitute of heavy cream but it will make them more indulgent.

SALT & PEPPER:

• We can sprinkle the salt & black pepper in the batter to improve the taste of these muffins.

GARNISH:

• We can garnish these muffins with parsley or chives to make them bright.
