What do you eat for breakfast?

iWILLbeFit062012

Every weekend I make a dozen scrambled egg muffins so I have breakfast all week long. I eat 2 muffins, one slice of toast with a small amount of fruit spread, and coffee with milk.

Egg Muffins:

4 large eggs whole
2 1/4 cups liquid egg whites
10 slices low fat/low sodium canadian bacon (or meat of choice)
1 1/2 - 2 cups mushrooms
1 1/2 - 2 cups jalapeno peppers (or bell peppers)
4 stalks green onion
1/2 - 1 cup low fat grated cheese (sometimes I use feta)
season to my liking with:
fresh ground peppercorns, cayanne, paprika, and onion or garlic powder
Lately I've been adding 1/2 cup ground flax seed.

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Spray muffin pans (large-sized muffins) with olive oil non-stick spray. Beat eggs and egg whites, then add seasonings and ground flax. I use a ladle to evenly distribute egg mixture into muffin cups leaving 1/3 of mixture to top off. Add meat and veggies evenly to each individual muffin cup. Sprinkle with cheese then top off with remaining egg mixture. I sprinkle with paprika, pepper, and/or parsley flakes before placing in oven. Bake for about 20 mins - check with toothpick after 15 mins. Makes 12 large muffins.

Adjust recipe to your own liking and nutritional needs. Easy pre-made breakfast. Just pop in microwave for 1 minute and there you have it!
