Did you always like Brussel Sprouts? 

Me as a child not. And our mum hardly made it just because of that. 

For some reason, so many kids don’t like it. And then comes that break, when (mostly as adults) we try some Brussel Sprouts Recipe, which is different from what we were used to before, and there it goes. BANG. We are in love and would like to transform everyone to love them the way we do.

The same goes for my daughter. She is not fond of Brussel Sprouts either.

But for some reason, every time I make the casserole or those cups, she eats it without a single complaint.

Maybe because of those Brussels Sprouts being super roasted? 

Or maybe because of the lots of yummy melting cheese in?

Or, could it be all of the bacon flavors it gets? 

Well, whatever it is, this Recipe with Brussel Sprouts works, and we can keep it at that. 

This recipe is a keeper for sure.

Winter Vegetable

Brussel Sprouts are being harvested mostly from September to May and therefore are a perfect low carb winter vegetable, exactly when we are lacking our garden being filled with different varieties of veggies.

My mum has a whole row dedicated to Brussel Sprouts in her garden and we love to pick them every time we visit. 

Especially during Christmas, when you have everything covered with snow. 

Those beautiful little green buds coming out of the white reflecting snow. What a beauty. 

And let us not forget. They are the sweetest after the frost.

HOW TO MAKE KETO BRUSSEL SPROUTS CUPS

Kitchen Gadgets Needed:

Ingredients needed:

  • Brussel Sprouts
  • Hard Cheese 
  • Bacon Bits
  • Eggs
  • Sour Cream
  • Chives
  • Salt & Pepper

*Exact measurements are listed in the recipe card below.

STEP BY STEP INSTRUCTIONS ON HOW TO MAKE BRUSSEL SPROUTS IN A CUP

First Step: Blanch Brussel Sprouts

Try to pick Brussel sprouts in similar sizes so they will cook and bake evenly.

Fully clean all brussels sprouts and cut the ends and outer layer leaves. The ends of some brussel sprout are pretty harsh in taste and very hard. Therefore it is much better if you cut them.

Blanch Brussel sprouts in the boiling water for approximately 2 to 3 minutes.

This will soften them a little bit and make them perfect for baking.

Once they’re blanched, run them through the cold water.

Place cooked Brussel Sprouts aside and move onto the next step.

If your bacon is raw, you can quickly fry it into bits in this step.

Second Step: Mix all wet Ingredients 

Prepare a bowl where you can mix all of the wet ingredients as well as half of the grated cheese.

Break the eggs and mix them a little bit into a soft fluffiness as you see on the video.

Season it with salt and pepper, add sour cream, and mix again.

Once all is fully mixed add grated cheese and mix it once again.

Make sure your cheese is grated at home and not store-bought one. Most of the grated cheese directly from the supermarket contains starch to prevent cheese from sticking together but adds carbohydrates. It’s very easy to buy a block of cheese and grate it on your own at home.

Third Step: Fill the Cups halfway and bake

Pick any of the cups you would like for baking either a single-serve baking dish, mini casseroles, mugs, or cups, which are heat resistant and will not crack in the oven.

I have managed to fill 10 different cups with this recipe.

Depending on the size of your mini casseroles this might vary a little bit.

Fill each of the cups with egg and cheese mixture halfway.

Add one spoon of bacon bits into each cup.

Place into the oven and bake it for 20 minutes at 200C or 400F.

Fourth Step: Fill the second time and bake

Once the Keto Brussel Sprouts Cups are baked, take all of the cups out of the oven and let them cool down a little bit. What you will see is the mixture has grown double in size. Do not worry as this will flatten after they cool a little bit.

Wait until they flatten and cool down and add chives and on top grated cheese.

Fifth Step: Brussel Sprouts

Place Brussel Sprout in the middle, on top of each cup.

Place all of the mini casseroles once again into the oven and bake for another 10 minutes.

Serve immediately and enjoy

TIPS AND TRICKS

  • Trim Brussel Sprouts – cut the end and outer leaves as those have a pretty harsh taste
  • Blanch the Brussel Sprouts – It is good to blanch Brussel sprouts before baking them – this will make them tender on the outside but nice and soft on the inside
  • Grated Cheese – Make sure your cheese is grated at home and not store-bought one. Most of the grated cheese directly from the supermarket contains starch to prevent cheese from sticking together but adds carbohydrates. It’s very easy to buy a block of cheese and grate it on your own at home.
  • Baking Cups – Pick any of the cups you would like for baking either a single-serve baking dish, mini casseroles, mugs, or cups, which are heat resistant and will not crack in the oven.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

How do you store Keto Brussel Sprouts Cups?

It is best to consume those Keto Brussel Sprouts Cups directly as the melted cheese and all give you just awesome satisfaction while hot.

But they can as well be served cold as an Appetisers for your Party or a Brunch you might be preparing. 

In that instance, it is best to prepare them in advance and store them in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.

Once you are ready to serve, you can place them once again into the oven to reheat or serve at room temperature.

Can you freeze Keto Brussel Sprouts Cups?

Making those Keto Brussel Sprouts Cups in baking mini casseroles, mugs, or Cups, it is a bit inconvenient to freeze them.

But if you know, you are going to place them into the freezer because of Keto Meal Prep or just simple storage, I would suggest baking them either in the muffin tops or a silicone cupcake tops. 

In that case, you can lift the whole single egg cups or let us call them now Keto Egg Muffins and freeze them as they are.
