Breakfast - my low carb one has three ingredients !

"Eggs are one of the most nutritious foods money can buy - they are a natural source of many nutrients including high quality protein, vitamins and minerals. A medium egg contains less than 70 calories. Eggs are naturally rich in vitamin B2 (riboflavin), vitamin B12, vitamin D, selenium and iodine. They also contain vitamin A and a number of other B vitamins including folate, biotin, pantothenic acid and choline, and essential minerals and trace elements, including phosphorus."

I do like starting the day with an egg, or two, and this breakfast recipe, with only three ingredients is so simple... read on and see what you think!

Some may call it an egg cup, but I call it an egg muffin! It's a keto/low carb breakfast from an idea by Sahil Makhija. It can be made in minutes, you simply beat eggs, cheese, and ham and then microwave in a buttered ramekin, although it can also be cooked in the oven if preferred.

Ingredients
One Serving
1 tsp butter
2 large eggs
1¼ oz. smoked deli ham, chopped
¼ cup (1 oz.) cheddar cheese, grated
salt and ground black pepper, to taste

Instructions
1. If not using a microwave, preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).

Tips
Feel free to substitute the cheddar cheese or ham for any other cheese or deli meat you have in your fridge.
Meal prep
i) If you make more than one serving, beating the eggs in a bowl is easier.
ii) You can bake these in a muffin tin and store them in the fridge for 7-8 days.

Cooking doesn't have to be complicated 😊
