Egg Muffin Cups To Go, Phase 1

Egg Muffin Cups To Go

These are a staple for me on the South Beach Diet! Each Sunday, I bake 12 of them (a full muffin pan), and divede them up (2 per baggie) and freeze them.
In the morning (especially when we're on the go), I pop one baggie in the microwave for 1 minute. They are easy to eat in the car, if necessary!

Ingredients:
Frozen Spinach 1/2 cup, thawed
Chopped Onion 1/2 cup
Chopped Red or Green Pepper 1/2 cup
Fat Free Cheddar Cheese 1/2 cup (I like Kraft)
Egg Whites Liquid

Directions:
Heat oven to 350. Grease 12 muffin cups. Combine first 4 ingredients into a small bowl and mix well. Divide evenly into greased muffin cups. Fill each cup to 3/4 full with Egg Whites. Cook at 350 for 20-30 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.

Can be frozen and reheated!
