Do you know what the expression “English breakfast” means? It means eggs and ham. Do you know what the expression “Spanish breakfast” means? It means tomatoes and ham.

How about “Italian Breakfast?” It means cheese. Now, if you put all of these together, you get a keto breakfast made with eggs, ham, tomatoes and cheese.

My Keto Air Fryer Breakfast Egg Bites is a great way to cook eggs in the morning if you don’t have a lot of time. The air fryer allows you to set it and forget it, allowing you to go about your morning without standing over an oven. 

This egg muffins recipe combines animal nutrients with tomatoes and seasonings for a nutritionally balanced meal. Eggs are a good source of high-quality protein, choline, vitamin B12, phosphorus, and riboflavin. Egg yolks are also a great source of vitamin D, which has been shown to play an important role in the maintenance of COVID-19 (*).

Aside from protein, cheddar cheese and sour cream provide a decent amount of vitamin A and B vitamins. Sour cream also contains beneficial bacteria for your gut, which can help maintain digestive symptoms and boost immunity. 

Ham can be a healthy source of nutrients if you go with a high-quality brand that does not contain added sugars, nitrates, excess sodium, and preservatives. Look for an organic source that does not contain antibiotics or hormones. 

Jalapenos contain an excellent source of vitamins A, C, and K, as well as folate, and fiber. Hot peppers also contain a pigment called capsaicin, which has been shown to protect against obesity (*).

Lastly, cherry tomatoes contain several vitamins and minerals, including lycopene. Research shows that lycopene may be beneficial for preventing cancer (*).  

The best part is that you can make these quickly and add them to cupcake molds for an on-the-go hot breakfast! You can make enough for the family to grab on the way out the door.
