Kim's Tex-Mex Egg Cups (South Beach Diet Friendly) image

I've often put shredded cooked chicken in my migas or breaksfast tacos, so when I started the South Beach Diet I came up with this recipe. The egg cups can be made ahead of time and refrigerated, then heated just before serving. I like mine topped with Cholula hot sauce!

1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1 cup chicken breast, cooked and chopped
cholula hot sauce (optional) or Tabasco sauce (optional)

  • Spray muffin pans with non-stick cooking stray (Such as Pam).
  • Preheat oven to 350°F.
  • In a large mixing bowl, beat eggs with a whisk.
  • Add cottage cheese, Monetery Jack cheese, green chiles, salt and pepper.
  • Mix until well blended.
  • Add chicken and stir until combined.
  • Spoon 1/4 cup of egg mixture into each cup.
  • Bake for 20 minutes or until done.
  • Take a knife and loosen the cups from the pan.

  • Eat eggs warm out of the oven, or refrigerate for later use.
  • EGGS DO NOT FREEZE WELL! Eggs become spongy and wet when frozen!
