Easy, delicious and full of protein! Thank you to my neighbor Oxana for this recipe.
EGG MUFFINS
INGREDIENTS:
6-7 eggs
Half-and-half or heavy cream (about 1/3 of a small container)
Cheese (I used shredded reduced-fat cheddar, but you can use mozzarella, goat cheese or whatever kind of cheese you prefer!)
Cooked bacon (or Canadian bacon)
Salt & Pepper to taste
Optional: Scallions, onions, mushrooms, peppers, etc. (be creative!)
Instructions:
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
Spray muffin tin with non-stick spray (I butter-flavor Pam).
Whisk the eggs and half-and-half for about one minute.
Add salt & pepper to taste.
Using a 6-muffin tin, fill each about 3/4 of the way and add bacon, cheese, etc.
Add a little more egg to each muffin tin to cover bacon, cheese, etc.
Place muffin tin on a sheet pan and bake at 375 for approximately 20 minutes (don't overcook or the eggs will get dry). Note: They will deflate once removed from the oven, that's normal! Add salsa if you want more flavor! Enjoy!
