Breakfast: Egg Muffins

By

  • 12

Ingredients

  • 15 eggs (for silicone muffin pans, use 12 eggs for metal muffin tins or individual silicone cups. You can use less egg yolks and more egg white if you prefer.)
  • 1-2 tsp. seasoning blend that's good with eggs
  • 1-2 cups grated low fat shredded cheese
  • Optional, but highly recommended, 3 green onions diced small.
  • Optional: chopped veggies such as blanched broccoli, red pepper, zucchini, mushrooms, etc.
  • Optional: diced Canadian bacon, lean ham, or crumbled cooked turkey sausage

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 375 F. Use regular or silicone muffin pan, 12 muffin size. If using silicone pan, spray with nonstick spray. If using regular muffin pan, put two paper liners into each slot, then spray liner with nonstick spray.

In the bottom of the muffin cups layer diced meat, if using, vegetables, if using, cheese and green onions. You want the muffin cups to be about 2/3 full, with just enough room to pour a little egg around the other ingredients.

Break eggs into large measuring bowl add seasoning blend, and beat well. Pour egg into each muffin cup until it is 3/4 full. I like to stir slightly with a fork. Bake 25-35 minutes until muffins have risen and are slightly browned and set.
