1. Crispy Bacon & Cheddar Egg Cups That Meal-Prep Like a Dream

These little cups are portable, cheesy, and perfect for batch cooking. Make a pan on Sunday and you’ve got grab-and-go breakfasts all week. They’re salty, savory, and seriously satisfying.

Ingredients:

• 8 large eggs
• 8 slices thick-cut bacon
• 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar
• 1/4 cup heavy cream
• 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
• Salt and black pepper to taste
• 2 tablespoons chopped chives (optional)

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 12-cup muffin tin.
2. Cook bacon until just shy of crisp. Drain and cool slightly.
3. Whisk eggs, heavy cream, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
4. Line 8 muffin cups with bacon (wrap or crisscross). Divide cheddar among cups, then pour in egg mixture.
5. Bake 15–18 minutes until set with a slight jiggle. Let rest 5 minutes. Top with chives.

Serve with avocado slices or a dollop of sour cream. Swap cheddar for pepper jack, or add a sprinkle of smoked paprika for a kick.

2. Creamy Avocado & Smoked Salmon “Bagel” Bowls (No Bagel Needed)

All the lox-and-cream-cheese vibes without the carbs. It’s rich, crunchy, and brunch-worthy in minutes. Great when you want something fancy but fast.

Ingredients:

• 1 ripe avocado, halved and pitted
• 3 ounces smoked salmon, sliced
• 2 tablespoons full-fat cream cheese
• 1 tablespoon capers, drained
• 2 tablespoons finely diced red onion
• 1 teaspoon lemon juice
• Everything bagel seasoning, to taste
• Fresh dill, for garnish

Instructions:

1. Scoop a bit more avocado to make a deeper “bowl.” Mash the extra with lemon juice.
2. Spread cream cheese into each avocado half. Top with smoked salmon.
3. Scatter capers and red onion. Sprinkle generously with everything seasoning and add dill.

Eat as-is or pile onto cucumber slices for extra crunch. Not into salmon? Try prosciutto or leftover rotisserie chicken with a swipe of cream cheese.

3. Chorizo Cauliflower “Hash” With Runny Eggs That Steal the Show

Miss hash browns? This crispy cauliflower version brings the sizzle without the starch. Spicy chorizo and jammy yolks make it weekend-brunch level good.

1. Heat a large skillet over medium-high. Cook chorizo until browned; remove and set aside.
2. Add oil to skillet. Sauté onion and red pepper 3–4 minutes.
3. Add cauliflower rice, paprika, salt, and pepper. Cook 5–7 minutes, stirring, until browned and crisp.
4. Return chorizo to the pan. Create four small wells. Crack in eggs; cover and cook 3–4 minutes until whites set.

Finish with cilantro and a squeeze of lime. For milder heat, use breakfast sausage and add a pinch of cumin instead.

4. Fluffy Almond Flour Pancakes With Buttered Berry Syrup

Yes, pancakes on keto—fluffy, tender, and slightly nutty. These cook up golden and pair perfectly with a quick berry “syrup” that won’t break your macros.

2. In another bowl, whisk eggs, almond milk, melted butter, vanilla, and sweetener. Combine with dry ingredients; rest 5 minutes.
3. Heat a nonstick skillet over medium. Butter lightly. Scoop 1/4-cup portions; cook 2–3 minutes per side until golden.
4. For syrup: simmer berries with 1 tablespoon butter and sweetener 3–4 minutes until saucy.

Serve with more butter or a dollop of whipped cream. Add lemon zest to the batter for brightness—trust me, it sings.

3. Pour in egg mixture and gently stir once. Cook 2 minutes until edges set, then transfer to oven for 10–12 minutes until puffed and just set.

Let it rest 5 minutes before slicing. Add cooked sausage for extra protein, or swap spinach for kale if that’s what’s in your fridge.
