Egg muffins are a healthy, simple and tasty way to enjoy breakfast. They’re also extremely versatile in terms of ingredients.
But one of my favorite combinations is this one – egg muffins packed with zucchini and wrapped in prosciutto. It’s also paleo, low-carb and keto friendly. The perfect grab and go healthy breakfast recipe! If you want a breakfast recipe that’s low in carbs, packed with protein and easy to make, it doesn’t get much better than egg muffins. You know I love eggs and I usually default to poached eggs or hard and soft boiled eggs. But eggs muffins keep things interesting because the flavor combinations are endless.
