Egg Muffins

Always tweaking past recipes to make them better. I don't think these could be any better. Simple, easy and a great breakfast item to have on hand for busy morbings, camping or any other traveling. Hope you enjoy. 

🌱1 bunch green onions, chopped

🍎1 red bell pepper, diced

🍚1 cup grated cheese

🐷1/2c bacon pieces (optional)

🍳4 egg yolks

🍳8-10 egg whites. 

Preheat oven to 350°. In a separate bowl, mix egg yolks and whites. In a cupcake pan, layer green onions, bell pepper, cheese and bacon bits. Pour egg mixture over top of each "cupcake/muffin." Place in oven between 20-30 minutes depending on how crispy you want the outside. I did 30 minutes and they were delicious!

Sweet Eggs first thing in the morning

I have the worst habits around the holidays. It all starts with Halloween and the buckets of candy my children bring home. I try to remove as much as possible, but there is still too much and I can't pretend like it doesn't exist. I sneak one or two pieces from time to time. The sugar just sends me in to a tailspin causing cravings and withdrawals, making me want more and MORE! Last night was no exception as I made my nightly cup of tea. I just love a piece of chocolate with hot tea! Since I fell asleep shortly after having my little treat, I woke with raging cravings for sugar! I immediately wanted to walk to the cabinet where the Halloween cabinet is hidden, but I had to stop the madness. It was one of those mornings when you tell yourself it's "You vs. You" and that is what I did. While the kids were asking for their over easy eggs, I decided the best thing to do was make some delicious sweet eggs and today's creation was awesome! 

Here is the recipe;

1c egg whites (I was hungry!)

1/4tsp butter extract

1/2tsp vanilla extract

1/2tsp cinnamon

2-4 packets stevia

1/4c fat free ricotta cheese

1/4c oat bran

I scrambled all the ingredients together until well cooked and drizzled Walden Farms Pancake Syrup on the top. My kids said it smelled like french toast and loved it too! 

Spicy Cauliflower Egg White Muffins

I have been staring at a head of cauliflower in my refrigerator for the last week wondering what I was going to make. It became a necessity when I was slapped with a pungent smell after opening the fridge door last night. I love cauliflower, but could do without the smell! 

I decided to put a twist on my Saffron Cauliflower Protein Muffins (recipe in previous posts).  Something spicy! 

Ingredients: 

3/4 cauliflower head grated 

1 cup egg whites

1/2tbsp cayenne pepper

1/4 tbsp turmeric 

1/4 tbsp Mrs Dash Tomato Basil

1/2-3/4cup grated cheese of choice

Black pepper to taste

Preheat oven to 350°

Mix all ingredients together and fill cupcake tin 3/4 full. I made the mistake of filling to the top. They still turned out, but not as uniformed. 

Bake at 350° for 25 minutes. Cool and enjoy. Makes 8 "muffins."
