Egg muffins - 3 Fat Chicks on a Diet Weight Loss Community

Tippy · 07-25-2003, 11:00 AM

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.

I don't know the nutritional values.

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.

This is not a SBD Phase I recipe unless you use Canadian bacon and low fat cheese.

I used turkey bacon, peppers, and onions...they were good ! And...easy to grab in a hurry!

This sounds too good to be true!! I must get some FF cheese and more canadian bacon!!!

I am drooling!

I am still in phase 1, and dont think I can have whole eggs with the yolk, these sound really good... can i just use egg whites for this recipe?

AdiaFaith · 09-10-2004, 04:25 PM

You could use Egg Whites, but why don't you think you can have whole eggs?

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!!!

This sounds delicious! I can't wait to make it. Thanks for sharing.

I threw everything into fitday.com to see what the nutritional information is:
using part skim milk mozzerrella cheese and turkey bacon it comes out to be
185 calories, 12g fat, 2.5g carb, 0.3g fiber.

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
