Yield

Ingredients

Cooking spray or ghee
3 cups low-carb chopped vegetables, such as kale, scallions, broccoli and peppers
½ cup water
4 ounces shredded sharp cheddar cheese, 1 cup, such as Hannaford Vermont Cheddar
11 large eggs such as Nature’s Place Cage-Free Eggs
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon smoked paprika, optional
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon ground pepper

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Generously coat a 12-cup muffin tin with cooking spray or brush with Ghee.
Place veggies and water in a medium saucepan. Cover and set over high heat. Cook 4 minutes. Remove from heat and drain the vegetables in a sieve.
Divide the vegetables evenly among the muffin tin wells. Top with cheddar cheese. Whisk eggs, mustard, paprika, salt and pepper in a large bowl. Pour egg mixture through a fine mesh sieve into a large measuring cup. Carefully pour over the vegetables and cheddar, dividing evenly among the cups.
Transfer to the oven and bake until the eggs are puffed in the center, 18 to 22 minutes. Let cool at least 20 minutes before removing from the pan. Refrigerate up to 4 days. Reheat until steaming hot or enjoy cold.
