Keto ham and cheese egg cups are a super easy breakfast recipe. 

All you need is a muffin pan, ham slices, your favourite cheese, eggs and an oven – no bowls or mess in the kitchen. What I love about this breakfast or brunch recipe, you can make up to twelve servings at a time with ease. If you are following a low carb diet, these succulent bites are sure to be a winner. And besides, they are naturally gluten-free, so a win-win all the way.

Why should you start your day with a high protein breakfast?

As per American Society for Nutrition consuming a high protein breakfast (30% protein) had improved blood sugar control and insulin levels. Mornings tend to be very busy for most of us, and this is why breakfast may be the most skipped meal of the day.

Or, we grab a high carb muffin or toast on the go, and within an hour, we crave more food. By consuming protein for your first meal of the day will help you feel fuller for longer and is associated with maintaining a healthy weight because it curbs your appetite. Another one of my favourite high protein breakfast recipes is Stuffed Breakfast Peppers
