Salami and eggs - such a great combination, and these tasty cups are so much fun to make and eat! Ready in about 30 minutes, they're perfect for brunch.

I like having eggs for breakfast. They're delicious and filling. I usually don't mind simply fried or poached eggs, especially on keto English muffins. But sometimes you want variety. Festive, pretty, and delicious, these salami and egg cups are gorgeous and filling. They're perfect for a quick family breakfast and can also be served to your guests for brunch.

Ingredients

The ingredients needed to make salami and egg cups.

See the recipe card for exact measurements. Here are my comments on some of the ingredients.

  • Olive oil: I use extra-virgin olive oil. You can use soft butter instead of olive oil to grease the ramekins. Ghee is another good option.
  • Salami slices: I like to use pre-sliced salami. It ensures thin, even slices. Beef salami works just as well as pork salami in this recipe.
  • Eggs: I use large eggs in most of my recipes. But in this recipe, medium eggs work better to prevent an overflow of the egg whites.
  • To season the eggs: Kosher salt, black pepper, red pepper flakes, and dried parsley. You can also sprinkle grated Parmesan on the cups before baking them.

Instructions

The detailed instructions and step-by-step photos are included in the recipe card. Here's a quick overview.

Grease four ramekins with olive oil and place them on a rimmed baking sheet. Place one salami slice on the bottom of each ramekin. Arrange four more slices around the sides, overlapping each other. This will be the "cup" that will hold the egg.

The eggs were added to the ramekins.

Bake the cups in a 350°F oven until the whites are fully cooked, about 20 minutes. Remove the cups from the ramekins, season, and serve.

Recipe Tip

I typically use large eggs in my recipes. However, in this recipe, large eggs might overflow from the cups, so it's best to use medium eggs if you can find them.

Alternatively, you pour out some of the whites before pouring the eggs into the cups. To do that, crack each egg into a small bowl, carefully pour out some of the egg white, and then slide the remaining egg into the salami cup.

Recipe FAQs

Are the yolks fully cooked?

That would depend on how long you bake the cups. As a general rule, I find that since I want the whites to be fully cooked, the yolks usually end up fully cooked as well.

Can I keep the leftovers?

This is one of those recipes where it's best to make only as many as you can eat right away. However, if you end up with leftovers, you can keep them in the fridge in a sealed container for up to four days. Reheat them in the microwave or enjoy them cold.

Can I freeze these cups?

I don't recommend freezing them. Their flavor and texture will suffer. Thawed cooked eggs can be dry and rubbery.

Can I use ham instead of salami?

Yes. Check out this recipe for ham and egg cups.

Serving Suggestions

Since I make them for breakfast, I simply serve one or two cups per person, sometimes with an easy side of sliced tomato or a small bowl of fresh berries. If I have them in the freezer, I sometimes add buttered keto biscuits.

Sometimes, I serve these cups for dinner, and then I add a simple side, usually a steamed veggie or a salad, such as any of the following:

  • Microwave broccoli
  • Steamed spinach
  • Cherry tomato salad
  • Cucumber tomato salad
  • Creamy cucumber salad

Notes

  • I typically use large eggs in my recipes. But in this recipe, large eggs might overflow from the cups, so it's best to use medium eggs. Alternatively, you can pour out some of the egg whites before pouring the eggs into the salami shells. To do that, crack each egg into a small bowl, carefully pour out some of the egg white, and then slide the remaining egg into the salami cup.

However, if you end up with leftovers, you can keep them in the fridge in a sealed container for up to four days. Reheat them covered in the microwave or enjoy them cold. I don't recommend freezing the leftovers.
