SPD: Egg White Muffins


Finally got around to doing a Saw it, Pinned it, Did it with Katie and Steph again!  This is a great one b/c it's super easy and fast and you can customize it any way you want!

Egg White "Muffins"


Finished Product!

I've seen various recipes for these egg muffins all over Pinterest.  Some are healthy (like the egg white version) while others are not so healthy (using the whole egg, sausage, cheese, etc...).  The great thing is that you can make these in advance, put them in plastic baggies and eat them for breakfast on the go everyday.  I'm trying to watch my calories right now (bathing suit season, right?) so I made a healthy version.  I really love these b/c I try to eat scrambled egg whites with spinach at least 2 to 3 times a week but I invariably seem to be running late in the morning and don't have time to make them.  Now, I just grab my plastic baggie and reheat these for 30 seconds at work.  Voila!  Also, you can use whatever ingredients float your boat.  The below is just what I happened to have in my fridge and I thought sounded tasty.

What you need:
Regular size muffin pan (not mini muffin)
Pam spray
7 egg whites
4-5 Tbls thawed chopped frozen spinach
4-5 Tbl chopped onion
4-5 Tbl chopped artichoke hearts
4-5 Tbl crumbled fat free feta
salt/pepper to taste

Makes 4 muffins

Heat your oven to 375 degrees.  Spray muffin pan well - make sure you get the sides b/c these babies want to stick.  Mix all ingredients well and beat with a fork.  Pour into muffin tins in equal amounts. You can pretty much fill them right to the top - they do puff a little when baking but not much.  Bake in oven about 30 minutes.  Let cool, remove from pan and put in plastic baggies for later.  Again, use or substitute whatever ingredients you love! I reheat one each morning at work in the microwave for about 30-45 seconds and that's it.

Straight out of the oven
