Green Chile and Cheese Egg Muffins image

These Low-Carb Green Chile and Cheese Egg Muffins are a great make-ahead breakfast, and even when the vegetable crisper is empty I usually have ingredients for these in the house.

Categories     Breakfast

Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 6

15 eggs
2 cans (4 oz. size) diced or whole green chiles, drained
3 cups Mexican Blend Cheese
2 tsp. Spike Seasoning (see notes)
salt and fresh ground black pepper to taste
3/4 cup sliced green onion (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375F/190C.
  • Spray silicone baking cups with nonstick spray.
  • Drain green chiles (affiliate link) and cut them up if you're using whole chiles.
  • In each muffin cup put grated cheese, some diced green chile, and some sliced green onion if using.
  • Beat eggs until egg whites and yolks are well combined. Add Spike Seasoning (affiliate link) and mix into eggs.
  • Pour egg mixture over cheese so each muffin cup is full. (This usually takes two pourings as the egg mixture settles over the cheese.)
  • I like to take a fork and gently "stir" in each muffin cup to get the cheese evenly distributed in the egg.
  • Bake 375 for about 35 minutes, or until all muffins are puffed up and the top is starting to brown. (I usually start checking them and rotate the pan after 25 minutes.)
  • Egg muffins will keep in the fridge for at least a week.
  • To reheat, put on small plate and microwave for 1-2 minutes. (Don't microwave too long or they get rubbery!)

SOUTH BEACH MUFFIN



South Beach Muffin image

An individual muffin that you can whip up fresh and hot for breakfast. No flour or sugar and only 3 net carbs!!! Plus 7 grams of fiber. This little beauty is based on a recipe yogi told me about in the low carb forum. I have tweaked it to not use butter and to be a bit lighter in texture than the original. This recipe is suitable for phase 1 of the South Beach diet (the 3 tablespoons of ground flax seeds count as the portion of nuts allowed per day). I find these are very filling and prevent me from feeling starving all morning.

Time 10m

Yield 1 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 large egg
1 1/2 teaspoons Splenda sugar substitute
1 teaspoon cinnamon (I use more)
2 teaspoons plain fat-free yogurt
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
3 tablespoons ground flax seeds

Steps:

  • Spray a microwave safe ramekin or bowl with cooking spray (or use a muffin liner).
  • Mix the egg and splenda until well combined (I use a fork), add the yogurt and blend well.
  • Mix in the ground flaxseed, cinnamon and baking powder until well combined.
  • Pour in ramekin and microwave on high for 1 minute 30 seconds (note the ramekin should be no more than half full since these do rise a lot, if it is too small they will overflow).
  • These taste best served hot.

SOUTH BEACH PHASE ONE FRIENDLY EGG MUFFINS RECIPE - (3.6/5)



South Beach Phase One Friendly Egg Muffins Recipe - (3.6/5) image

Provided by Pattywak

Number Of Ingredients 6

15 eggs (for silicone muffin pans, use 12 eggs for metal muffin tins or individual silicone cups. You can use less egg yolks and more egg white if you prefer.)
1-2 teaspoons Spike Seasoning
1-2 cups grated low fat cheese (I like sharp cheddar or a blend of cheddar/Jack cheese, use less cheese if using meat)
3 green onions, chopped small (optional)
Chopped veggies such as blanched broccoli, red pepper, zucchini, mushrooms (optional)
Diced Canadian bacon, lean ham, or crumbled cooked turkey sausage (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375°F. Use regular or silicone muffin pan, 12 muffin size. If using silicone pan, spray with nonstick spray. If using regular muffin pan, put two paper liners into each slot, then spray liner with nonstick spray. In the bottom of the muffin cups layer diced meat, if using, vegetables, if using, cheese and green onions. You want the muffin cups to be about 2/3 full, with just enough room to pour a little egg around the other ingredients. Break eggs into large measuring bowl with pour spout, add Spike, and beat well. Pour egg into each muffin cup until it is 3/4 full. I like to stir slightly with a fork. Bake 25-35 minutes until muffins have risen and are slightly browned and set. Muffins will keep at least a week in the refrigerator without freezing. Egg muffins can be frozen and reheated. For best results, thaw in refrigerator before reheating. Microwave on high about 2 minutes to reheat.
