These are delicious, though the texture may feel funny at first; kinda spongy. I got this in an e-mail from South Beach. For the leftovers, you can take them from the fridge and pop them in the micro for less than 30 seconds on half power, and they're ready to eat.
Sausage and Cheese Breakfast Cups
Phase 1
Makes 6 cups
Description
These egg "muffins" make a hearty breakfast that can be eaten on the run. Make them ahead and warm them in the microwave for a fast and slimming breakfast treat.
Ingredients
4 ounces turkey sausage or crumbled turkey bacon
1/2 green bell pepper, chopped
1/4 onion, chopped
5 large eggs
1 can (12 ounces) sliced mushrooms, drained
1/2 cup (2 ounces) shredded reduced-fat Cheddar cheese
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Coat a 6-cup nonstick muffin pan with cooking spray or line with paper baking cups. In a medium nonstick skillet over medium-high heat, cook the sausage, pepper, and onion for 5 minutes, or until the sausage is no longer pink. Spoon the mixture into a bowl and cool slightly. Stir in the eggs and mushrooms. Evenly divide the mixture among the prepared muffin cups.
Sprinkle with the cheese. Bake for 20 minutes, or until the egg is set.
