These breakfast egg cups are delicious! They're low carb, high protein, and a perfect grab-and-go treat for those busy mornings! Like most of my recipes, this recipe is customizable to dietary needs and restrictions.

Customizing Breakfast Egg Cups

If you're avoiding cured meats, go with an uncured lunch meat and uncured bacon or leave the bacon out altogether! Applegate makes delicious, uncured lunch meats.

You can also use whatever kind of lunch meat is your favorite--ham, turkey, chicken, etc. The possibilities are endless!

If you're avoiding pork, omit the bacon. If you're avoiding dairy, omit the cheese. These breakfast egg cups cans fit your needs!
