Our Keto Bacon Egg Cups
Unlike some Make Ahead Bacon Egg Cups, we suggest cooking your bacon first and chopping it up into your eggs versus creating a “wrap” around it.
Our reasoning is that you’ll get a bacon in each bite, and it’s a little cleaner to eat on the go.
Are these Egg Cups 21 Day Fix Approved?
Yes! You can have these on the 21 Day Fix, LIIFT4 and 80 Day Obsession. They would count as 1 red and 1 green.
What You’ll Need to Make Our Low Carb Bacon Egg Cups
You’ll want:
- 4 slices bacon, chopped
- 1/4 cup onion, chopped
- 1 cup fresh button mushrooms, chopped
- 2 cups baby spinach, chopped
- 10 eggs
- 1/4 cup 2% milk
- 1/3 cup cheddar cheese, shredded (mild or sharp depending on your taste)
- salt and pepper to taste
How to Make Bacon and Egg Cups
First, place your bacon in a skillet on medium heat until it cooks through. Drain the fat and remove bacon.
Second, chop the bacon and vegetables.
Third, add your onions to the warm skillet and cook until soft (about a minute). Then add in your mushrooms to cook for another 1-2 minutes. Then add in your spinach and bacon.

We'll email this post to you, so you can come back to it later!
Now, you’re ready to spray your muffin pan with non-stick spray, and add evenly to each egg cup the bacon and veggie mixture. It should be about 1/2 way full.
Once you’ve done that, in a separate bowl, whisk your eggs, cheese, and milk together. Season with salt & pepper.
Top the bacon and veggie mixture with your eggs.
You should only leave enough room for the eggs to rise a bit.
Your last step is to bake them at 375 degrees for 20-25 minutes. The eggs should rise and be slightly brown.
You can also poke an egg cup with a toothpick; it should come out clean.
Then remove from the pan and enjoy!
Storing Your Low Carb Bacon Egg Cups
After letting the cups cool for 15-30 minutes, you can store them in the refrigerator for the week.
You can also store these make-ahead egg cups in the freezer to keep them fresh even longer!

How many should I have per morning? Thank you!
A serving is approximately 141 calories and 1 net carb. So I’d personally eat at least 2. You may can have more depending on your calorie and carb goals.
Looks great! Is one or two muffins equal to 1 red & 1 green on 21 Day Fix? Thanks!
2 muffins! :)
