    Scotch Eggs.....anyone ever had them. I use them for low carb. It's basically Hard boiled eggs, and you wrap them in ground sausage (I used turkey sausage) and bake until the sausage is done.

    They were amazing. Come to think of it....I need to make some. Great protein breakfast and quick to grab and go

    My favorite portable breakfast is Scotch eggs. Hardboil as many eggs as you like, cool, and peel. You need about 1 pound of bulk sausage for each 5 or 6 eggs (depending on their size.) Divide the sausage into equal portions to cover your eggs, roll into a ball, then flatten and press one portion around each HB egg. You can just bake them as is, or you can roll them in grated Parm cheese (the green can kind is fine) and bake - I do 350* for about 20 minutes or til the sausage is cooked through.


    There is the recipe....cook ahead...and voila' a quick portable breakfast.

    NOW...I live alone and I think even the dogs sneak in the fridge....if you have others in the house (especially the male species)...ya best double this recipe if you want to have them around for breakfast. Ohhhhh I am sooooo making these this weekend!

    I make these Breakfast Muffins nearly every Sunday evening, for an "on the go" breakfast during the week - I warm up one or two and eat 'em on the drive to work! You could also warm up a whole wheat tortilla with some cheese and one of these muffins for an egg burrito.

    You can pretty much make the "filling" however you want - this is how I do it....

    To make 12 "muffins", this is what I saute' together in a large frying pan sprayed with no-stick spray:

    1 medium Chopped onion - I use purple onion
    1 large Red Bell Pepper
    1/4 - 1/2 cup cooked broccoli
    1/4 - 1/2 cup cooked spinach
    Morningstar Farms Original Sausage Patties - 4 patties

    I make sure everything is chopped up before I throw it in the pan.

    As that's all cooking together I beat together the following:

    4 whole eggs
    1 1/2 cups "All Whites" - carton egg whites, this is equivelant to 8 whole eggs
    10-12 tablespoons (approximated) skim milk.
    (I'm watching my egg yolk consumption, but if it's not an issue for you then you could certainly just use 12 whole eggs instead).

    Spray a muffin tin with non-stick cooking spray. Put equal spoonfulls of the "filling" mixture from the frying pan into each section of the prepared muffin tin. Sprinkle with a very small amount of shredded cheese - I prefer Parmesan. Using a ladle, pour egg mixture over the filling/cheese.

    I bake at 375 degrees for 12-18 minutes until eggs are cooked through & tops a bit brown, they rise a little like mini souffle's but fall a bit after they come out of the oven. If needed I put the broiler on for the last 1-2 minutes to give 'em a nice browned top.

    Once cooled these lift out easily with a small spatula. Because I only used 4 whole eggs for 12 "muffins", there's only 1/3 of an egg yolk in each one, but plenty of egg whites for the protein. This is a great alternative if you are keeping your egg yolk consumption down or watching cholesterol.

    I put the recipe into my MFP database - they came out to 98 calories per muffin!
