This recipe is super easy, low cal and low carb!

Ingredients:
5 eggs (can substitute with egg whites)
basil
1/4 cup skim milk
1/4 cup shredded part skim mozarella
1/2 cup cooked spinach (can either use already cooked spinach or quickly saute fresh spinach)
hot sauce, chili flakes, or garlic powder depending on taste


Be sure to line the muffin cups with 2 paper liners. Fill about 3/4 of the way full and bake at 350-375 for 25 minutes. You can broil for the last few minutes so the top gets nice and brown.

These are great because you can freeze them and have a quick easy breakfast for days you are in a rush by popping 1 or 2 in the microwave.

I thought it would make about 6 muffins, but i had enough to make 12!! Pleasantly surprised with how few calories.. I even ate 2!

Here is the nutritional info, and the recipe is in the MFP system under el's egg muffins:

You could switch up the recipe and add in other things, i'm sure red peppers, mushrooms, different cheeses, would be a welcome addition. I think next time I will try with some goat cheese and red peppers.

    I cook eggs in a muffin pan to use for homemade Egg McMuffins, so I can get perfect round eggs. I don't use cupcake papers... I just spritz a little cooking spray and they pop out perfect.

    So its ok to freeze eggs? Just wanna make sure. I've been told in the past not to freeze stuff that contained eggs so IDK.

    uh -oh!! i think it's fine to freeze eggs, specially since they are already cooked
