healthy eating:: eggs for dinner

Hope you are enjoying the recipes this week! If you missed them, you can read about skinny cupcakes and granola goodness here.

Today I bring you a new addition to our "Breakfast for dinner" repertoire. My kids love the fun of breakfast for dinner. I love that breakfast is usually easy, quick and yummy. Often we just do pancakes and sausage with fruit, or a quick fritatta. But this one is a winner: two thumbs up from both kids and hubby too!

Individual Omelette Muffins

 (makes 12 "muffins")

1 carton of EggBeaters Original (16 oz)

3/4 c. finely shredded cheddar cheese

Chopped ham, sausage, bacon, or whatever meat you like

Chopped vegetables:  Roasted asparagus, raw mushrooms, onions, peppers, etc.

Salt and pepper (We use Crazy Jane's Mixed-Up Salt)

Oil a non-stick muffin tin (12 muffins) with canola or cooking spray. Be liberal. These like to stick.

Pour EggBeaters into muffin tins, dividing evenly among all 12.

Add a large pinch of cheese to each tin, dividing evenly.

Add mix-ins as desired:

My kids liked ham and cheese and nothing else.

Hubby and I had ham, roasted asparagus, and mushrooms.

You want to fill the tins about 2/3 full.

Give each one a little stir to mostly submerge the mix-ins.

Bake at 350 F for 18-25 minutes. 

Muffins will puff up considerably, make sure they are not gooey in the middle. 

Top may brown slightly.

Let cool 5 minutes (muffins will collapse, this is normal!).

Serve with fresh fruit and biscuits for a yummy meal!

(Weight Watchers Points+: 2 with ham and cheese, 1 with cheese and vegetables)
