Egg Muffins

Good morning muffin:)
Today I decided to try out my own version of the little egg muffins I've seen here and there on Pinterest. There are lots of variations with time to cook, oven temp and ingredients on there. I want to share how I made mine!
You will need:
-7 eggs
-3 egg whites
-1/8 onion (chopped)
-1/2 bell pepper (chopped)
-4 pieces sliced deli turkey
-1 tsp Greek seasoning


Preheat oven to 350
Beat eggs in a large bowl
Add veggies and seasoning to eggs
Double line your muffin tin and spray with non stick spray
Tear your turkey into small pieces and line the bottom of each muffin cup
Pour egg/veggie mixture on top of the turkey
( only fill about 2/3 full)
Bake for 20 min

ENJOY!


Feel free to stick the leftovers in the fridge for a couple days!
Just heat them up in the microwave for a quick little breakfast!



I used what I had in my fridge so be creative with what you have available! You can use zucchini, spinach, mushrooms etc! Season to your tasting! Bacon or ham would be tasty too!

Happy Monday!

Mini Cheddar Poppers

Need something healthy to take to a luncheon or get together? I've got a super quick and easy snack for you! I found the recipe/idea on Pinterest but I wanted to share it with y'all!



All you need is a bag on mini bell peppers and your choice of cheese, I used Sargenta sharp cheddar cheese sticks. I think pepper jack would be yummy!



I got these adorable peppers at Target but I've seen them at Walmart as well!



Just cut a hole in the side, dig out the seeds, rinse and save your scraps for later:)



Stuff with cheese ( feel free to use shredded cheese if thats what you have) and cook for about 10 min on 400 or until cheese is melted!



In just about 15 min total they are ready to enjoy!
Now chop up your scraps for a salad or omelet the next day!



Happy Cooking!
Love, T
