Keto Jalapeno Popper Egg Cups

26 ratings

Are you meal prepping this week? These jalapeno popper bites make an “egg-cellent” snack, and they can be baked in less than 30 minutes! Of course, egg cups can make a great breakfast as well, especially if you pair them with another keto-friendly breakfast recipe for a filling start to your day. Each bite is loaded with melty cheese and just a little heat from fresh jalapeno.

Ii make 1/6th of this recipe using one silicone egg cup in the Air Fryer. Bake in Air Fryer for 10 minutes at 320. My “go To” for a great and quick breakfast.

Just made this yesterday. My wife is the chef. I’m at best a Sous Chef. Easy to make. Delicious. I wonder if I could mix in bacon, too.

  I just made these as well and I added some sausage links that I cooked and cut up ahead of time. It was delicious! Bacon would be yummy too. I recommend cooking it before adding to the egg cups.

These are amazing!! I used a big muffin pan and greased using a paper towel with coconut oil on it to get even coverage, and they popped right out with my spatula. I WILL be making these again.

Leave out the peppers and add green onion tops.

What size muffin trays do we use? Regular or jumbo? Recipe says it makes 6 but it doesn’t mention the size of the muffin.

For people complaining about eggs sticking to the tray: use silicone cupcake liners inside the muffin tray. No cooking spray needed. ☺️

Yum! If you have a problem with sticking to the pan - use Carrington Farms Ghee cooking spray. They come right out!

Delicious 🤤 Tried using cupcake liners due to other reviews but it wasn’t much help. But they were still yummy.

  Try them in silicone cup, melt cream cheese and cheese 30 seconds in microwave. Add whisked eggs and ingredients. Spoon in cheese mixture. Airfryer 320°/10 minutes. Slides right out of silicone cup.

Delicious! I love the little burst of flavor from the cream cheese. I made these for my husband and then made a modified version for me... ham instead of jalapeno. I diced 2 slices of Virgina ham to add to the cheese pieces. Velvety, creamy , and easy dish to make extra of for several days. (They stick in my muffin pan, even with Pam spray. I've just ordered some silicone muffin liners and hope for better results for these and other similar dishes.)

Tastes delish! Probably just easier for me to make in a big casserole and cut into the appropriate sized pieces. My egg cups always stick!

Loved these! The cream cheese mixed with the jalapeño was delish! I had mount olive diced jalapeños and it was so quick and easy. Recommend to anyone who likes jalapeño poppers 🙌🏼

  That’s the plan for the AM!… But I’m going to do this as an omelette with half the ingredients- 3 eggs and half of the ingredients.

Very good! Will definitely make again. Cooked for 20 minutes but will try 18 minutes next time.

So so good! I will use more coconut oil next time to grease the pan, since I couldn’t get them out, but they looked so fluffy and delicious, I ended up eating them hot with a spoon right out of the muffin pan. Decided to keep them in the fridge in the pan as well 😀 Yum!

So good. The cream cheese stays soft and melted, might even use more next time. Used 7 eggs- made 12 egg muffins.

I read the reviews prior to making this recipe and made 9 muffins instead of 6. The ratio was great since they puffed up A LOT!

I doubled the recipe to make 12. I kind of had a mess in my oven because they rose so much. Is this recipe for 6 or 12?

Can you store them in the freezer or the fridge?!? They taste amazing

  A refrigerator would be best to maintain to quality of the recipe. Store in an airtight container for up to 1 week in the fridge.
