Ingredients with Measurements

• 6 large eggs
• ½ cup shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or a blend)
• ¼ cup heavy cream (or full-fat coconut milk for dairy-free options)
• ½ cup diced veggies (bell peppers, spinach, mushrooms, or a mix)
• Salt & pepper to taste
• Optional toppings & add-ins: smoked paprika, bacon bits, diced ham, sun-dried tomatoes

Step-by-Step Instructions: How to Make Keto Egg Puffs

1. Preheat & Prepare: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place your muffin tin in the oven to warm up—this helps prevent sticking and ensures even baking.
2. Grease the Muffin Tin: Lightly grease each muffin cup with butter or oil just before filling to make removal easier.
3. Whisk the Eggs: In a large bowl, vigorously whisk the eggs for about 90 seconds to 2 minutes until well combined and slightly frothy. Using a mixer can make this step easier and faster.
4. Prepare the Cheese: Toss the shredded cheese with 1 teaspoon of arrowroot powder. This step helps improve the texture, making the bites more cohesive and preventing them from becoming too greasy or watery.
5. Sauté Watery Vegetables: If using watery vegetables like spinach or mushrooms, sauté them in a little oil until cooked and excess moisture evaporates. This prevents sogginess in your egg puffs.
6. Combine Ingredients: In the large bowl with eggs, add the heavy cream, cheese, sautéed vegetables, salt, pepper, and any optional seasonings like smoked paprika. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are evenly distributed.
7. Fill the Muffin Cups: Pour the mixture into the prepared muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full. Do not overfill to prevent spilling over during baking.
8. Bake: Place the muffin tin in the oven and bake for 15 to 20 minutes. Check at 15 minutes; the egg puffs should be puffy, golden, and firm to the touch.
9. Cool & Loosen: Remove from the oven and let cool for about 5 minutes. Gently loosen the edges with a butter knife, then carefully remove the egg puffs from the tin.
