Recipe: Egg Muffins

I’ll be the first one to admit that I don’t know my way around the kitchen (just ask my husband), but since I started studying at the Institute for Integrative Nutrition, I started caring a lot more about controlling what goes into my food.  Lately, my mission has been to make a healthy snack on the weekends that Joe and I can pick on all week long.  I got this egg muffin idea (yay, mini omelets!) from Dietitian, Jenna Stock, and couldn’t believe how easy they are to make.


RECIPE

Ingredients:

  • a dozen eggs

  • vegetables (I like using peppers and onions)

How to:

  • Mix six eggs and six egg whites in a large bowl.  (I like doing six and six to make sure I’m getting a substantial amount of protein without all of the cholesterol, but you can do full eggs or all whites if you’d like.)

  • Mix in chopped veggies of your choice.  (You can add cheese here, too if you wish.)

  • Spray your muffin tray with cooking spray.  (I like using coconut oil.)

  • Pour your mixture into each muffin spot on your tray.

  • Bake for 20-25 minutes at 350 degrees.
