Breakfast Eggwhite Muffin - protein and energy for the day
I have never been one to like eggs until recently. I love a good ole omelet but sometimes they are so loaded with butter and fat and cholesterol. Egg whites on the other hand are very nutritious for you. Just 1 muffin has more than 5gram protein and low calorie and loaded with energy packed veggies for the day. The egg white is the clear white part of the egg that surrounds the yolk and protects it. Egg whites consist mainly of water, proteins, minerals, vitamins, fats and glucose. They have very small amounts of fat and cholesterol, but are rich in selenium and vitamins such as Vitamin D, Vitamin B6 and Vitamin B12. The protein Ovalbumin present in egg whites is important for the metabolism of enzymes in the body. Egg whites also contain minerals such as zinc, iron, copper, calcium and potassium. These minerals help in the development of teeth, bones and fingernails.
I usually buy my eggs from the farmer's market or a good friend, Victoria, has a friend who has organic eggs which I ADORE.
So here is the recipe. I took them to work and they were a hit (or else they were just being nice.)
12 eggs white
1/4 cup skim milk
1 chopped bell pepper
1 chopped tomatoes
1 cup spinach
1/2 cup feta cheese (low fat)
salt, pepper, garlic and basil (from the garden)
****I have added different protein before such as shrimp, lean turkey sausage, or turkey bacon. You can also have fun with the veggies and add whatever you would like***
Mix all ingredients and place in muffin tins at 350 degrees for about 45 minutes. Allow and cool and enjoy!
Don't mind my old muffin tin that is WELL used and still is fantastic!
I love your old muffin pan! (you can scrub it with baking soda and hydrogen peroxide if you like...works well!)
