I can't take credit for this recipe as Leens, the moderator of Depression and Weight Issues and good friend, posted it somewhere else. I made it this way and DH loves them.
I mixed together 8 eggs, a shredded zucchini, 4 fried and crumbled slices of bacon, a cup of mozz cheese and put it all in 6 of those huge muffins cups after I sprayed them with Pam. I baked them at 350 for 20 minutes until they were browned a bit.
Next time I'm making them with pepperoni, mozz and oregano. How about low fat cheddar cheese with broccoli and maybe a touch of onion? The variety is endless.
Regarding those egg muffins that I posted....they are freezeable! I experimented and they are just as good thawed and nuked. I am going to wrap them though in a plastic wrap and pop into a freezer bag for longer storage.
Guess what I'm making a huge batch of tomorrow. Am certainly glad DD raises chickens.

If you are concerned about the fat in whole eggs, use Eggbeaters®. They have much less cholesterol. Whole eggs are definitely allowed in Phase I.
I made these last night and they're delicious! I added mushrooms, zucchini, onions and canadian bacon to the eggs but used a normal size muffin pan. Next time I'll be sure to use the bigger muffin pan so there's more egg in each muffin. I have the extras in my frig wrapped up for the rest of the week.
Yum!!! I am going to make these with diced green chillis (ortega type) and shredded low fat pepperjack cheese!! Or cheddar or a combo of the two!
I think I may add some crumbled turkey bacon too....thanks for the great recipe!! Can this be made in a square pan do you think??? I have a feeling I could eat a whole 1/4 of it for breakfast!!!

I was curious with all that cheese how bad it would be, but I guess 1 would be ok for breakfast. I have a bad habit of eating several, you know that slight portion control problem
