"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 😊

...a ham and cheese omelet helps me start my day.
I eat boiled eggs most every morning. This is a nice idea for something different. Thanks!
That looks and sounds delicious. I love eggs.
They do look good (subject to my dietary amendments) but I suspect I would eat them later in the day than breakfast.

They look mouthwatering!
Lovely Jan.
A lovely breakfast with staying power for the morning. We love eggs and your recipe.
Los huevos me gustan mucho. Besos.
I have an odd relationship with eggs. I either love them or hate them! For no reason whatsoever I just go off them for weeks at a time, and this can happen even when I'm in the middle of eating a delicious plate of scrambled eggs on toast! This looks delicious and easy, omitting the bacon.
That sounds so good.
I'm with you about eggs, and these look delicious.

Thank you for this, great idea. I think they would probably work for a food on the go option as well.

I totally agree with you about eggs. I eat one boiled egg per day.
