INGREDIENTS:
4 pieces turkey bacon, cooked + chopped
1 cup egg whites
8 eggs
1 cup cheddar cheese
2 cup cremini mushrooms, sliced + cooked
Olive or avocado oil spray
Salt and pepper (as desired)
DIRECTIONS:
Preheat oven to 350
Spray muffin tin with olive or avocado oil and set aside
In a medium bowl, whisk together eggs, egg whites, salt and pepper.
Into the muffin tin, add a small spoonful each of cooked mushrooms and turkey bacon. Then, pour the egg mixture over top, filing so there is a bit of room at the top. Finally, sprinkle a bit of cheddar cheese into each muffin cup.
Place into the oven and cook for 17-20 minutes. (Note: If the top isn’t golden, feel free to broil for 1-2 minutes at the very end.)
Cool for 10 minutes before taking a knife or spatula and scooping each “cup” out of its container and onto a clean dish.
Serve immediately, or wait to fully cool before placing into storage containers for easy breakfasts throughout the week.
