Southwestern Egg Cups – Keto Meal Prep
I am a huge fan of quick and easy breakfasts, especially during the school year. These egg cups are so easy to throw together and more importantly, easy to grab on your way out the door in the morning. They are packed with flavor and heat up really well.
Another great thing about these egg cups is that you can customize them to your preferences. When I am doing a Whole 30, I use coconut milk and leave out the cheese. To make them spicy, leave in the jalapeno, pepper flakes and hot sauce. Be creative and use what you have in your fridge.
These are perfect for your weekly meal prep. I like to put them in a container over spinach and cilantro with a side of fresh pico de gallo or my favorite jarred salsa. It is such a delicious and flavorful way to enjoy a breakfast on the go.
