I am always looking for new things to make that are portable and low carb. Sunday morning I woke up thinking about making eggs in the oven in cupcake cups or a muffin tin with some low carb throw-ins. They turned out nicely and they are approved by my youngest, Jaden, as being extremely yummy!
I am planning on taking some of these to work with me this week for breakfast, if they last that long. *wink*
I also think this will be an ideal recipe for my daughter, Cat, to try...and anyone else who wants to keep some grab-and-go food on hand!
Egg, Ham and Cheese Take-a-Longs
Ingredients
1 C diced ham
1 dozen large eggs
1 C shredded cheese
salt
pepper
garlic
Preheat oven to 350° F. Line muffin tins with cupcake liners, or grease the tins liberally with bacon grease, lard, or tallow if you do not wish to use the liners.
Instructions:
Bake in a 350° F oven for 15 minutes for a less done yolk, 20 minutes for a more solid yolk.
Change the recipe up a bit by using bacon, sausage, prosciutto, or corned beef instead of ham. Substitute or add seasonings to please your own tastebuds. Most of all, enjoy!

I do find it frustrating to try to find low-carb non-perishable snacks, especially for work or dance practice. I know these are ultimately perishable, but they will last longer than just the meat by itself. :-) Plus, they sound like they would be tasty!
ReplyDeleteJami, it can be a challenge to find non-perishable grab and go low carb foods, most definitely. I have found that, dependent upon how long I have from the time I leave my home to when I need to eat, that if I freeze these they are nearly thawed by lunch time. Then I just pop them in the microwave for a minute or so, and voila! Alternatively, taking a small cooler or insulated lunch bag can keep things fresh while you're on the go. These are good, cold, too, much like a hard boiled egg with some tasty extras!
ReplyDeleteI do something similar with a slice of ham to line the cup and some (thawed drained chopped)spinach under the egg. I'm going to give these a try too. : )
ReplyDeleteYummmmmmmmmm...so going to make this!!!
