Keto Egg Muffin Recipe with Broccoli, Bacon, and Cheese (Video)

One of the most popular posts on my blog is the Keto Egg Muffins Master Recipe, and that post gives guidelines for making egg muffins out of whatever ingredients you have on hand. I do have a couple of specific egg muffin recipes on the blog, but mostly I use that master recipe and make egg muffins for myself with whatever strikes my fancy or what’s available in the fridge.

But when I made this Keto Egg Muffin Recipe with Broccoli, Bacon, and Cheese it was such a wow combination that I decided I had to make it again and take photos so I could share the recipe on the blog.

This new egg muffin idea uses broccoli, bacon, cheese, green onions, and eggs and those are all things I’d normally have in the house. I hope that’s going to be true for you too, but use the tips in the master recipe if you need to adapt to what’s in your fridge. This recipe uses 18 eggs to make 12 large muffins with 5 net carbs each, and one of these tasty muffins is breakfast for me.

What ingredients do you need for this recipe?

(This is only a list of ingredients; please scroll down for complete printable recipe. Or if you use the JUMP TO RECIPE link at the top of the page, it will take you directly to the complete recipe.)

• broccoli florets
• Olive Oil (affiliate link)
• bacon, cooked until crisp
• grated cheddar cheese
• green onions
• eggs

What muffin cups do I use for this Egg Muffin recipe?

I always use silicone baking cups for making egg muffins. I’ve had various sizes through the years, but now this Jumbo Muffin Cup from Chambers Bay (affiliate link) is the one I use most consistently. This muffin cup is 3.5 inches across and 1.75 inches deep. And I love the pastel colors!

Does this Egg Muffin recipe Keep in the Fridge?

The egg muffins keep well in the fridge for at least a week, and are easy to reheat in the microwave. That makes this a perfect recipe for Weekend Food Prep, where you cook things on the weekend that you’re going to eat all week; enjoy!

Can Egg Muffins be frozen?

I have seen some people talk about freezing egg muffins like this, but personally I don’t recommend freezing them. Freezing changes the texture in a way that’s not appealing to me, and they release a lot of water when they thaw.

How to make this Egg Muffin Recipe with Broccoli, Bacon, and Cheese:

(This is only a summary of the steps for the recipe; please scroll down for complete printable recipe. Or if you use the JUMP TO RECIPE link at the top of the page, it will take you directly to the complete recipe.)

1. Preheat oven and spray silicone muffin cups with non-stick spray.
2. Cut up fresh broccoli to make 4 cups broccoli florets.
3. Heat olive oil in a large non-stick frying pan and cook the broccoli about 5 minutes over medium-high heat, stirring several times.
4. Spray silicone muffin cups with non-stick spray or olive oil and divide broccoli between the muffin cups.
5. I used pre-cooked bacon from Costco that I just crisped in the microwave and then cut into short slices, but if you’re using raw bacon you need to cook in a pan until crisp.
6. Divide bacon between the muffins cups and put cheese in each muffin cup over the broccoli.
7. Put sliced green onion on top of the cheese.
8. Beat eggs until they’re well combined.
9. Pour some egg into each of the muffin cups, let it sink down, then add some more until all the egg is used.
10. I like to use a fork and gently “stir” so ingredients are well-distributed.
11. Bake until eggs are completely set and firm on the top.
12. Serve hot.
13. Egg Muffins can be kept in the fridge and reheated during the week.

Keto Egg Muffin Recipe with Broccoli, Bacon, and Cheese

Prep Time 20 minutes

Cook Time 30 minutes

Total Time 50 minutes

Ingredients

• 4 cups broccoli florets
• 2 tsp. olive oil
• 8 slices bacon, cooked until crisp
• 2 cups grated cheddar cheese
• 3 sliced green onions

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 375F/190C and spray silicone muffin cups with non-stick spray.
2. Cut up enough fresh broccoli to make 4 cups broccoli florets. 
3. Heat a little olive oil in a large non-stick frying pan and cook the broccoli about 5 minutes over medium-high heat, stirring several time. Broccoli will not be fully cooked but it should turn bright green.
4. Spray silicone muffin cups with non-stick spray, put them on a baking sheet, and divide the broccoli between the muffin cups.
5. I used pre-cooked bacon from Costco that I just cut into short strips and crisped in the microwave, but if you're using raw bacon you need to cook until crisp in a frying pan and probably drain on paper towels.

7. Put some sliced green onion on top of the cheese.
8. Beat eggs until they're well combined.
9. Pour some egg into each of the muffin cups, let it sink down, then add some more until all the egg is used.
10. I like to use a fork and gently "stir" so ingredients are well-distributed.
