Green Chile and Cheese Egg Muffins image

These Low-Carb Green Chile and Cheese Egg Muffins are a great make-ahead breakfast, and even when the vegetable crisper is empty I usually have ingredients for these in the house.

Categories     Breakfast

Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 6

15 eggs
2 cans (4 oz. size) diced or whole green chiles, drained
3 cups Mexican Blend Cheese
2 tsp. Spike Seasoning (see notes)
salt and fresh ground black pepper to taste
3/4 cup sliced green onion (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375F/190C.
  • Spray silicone baking cups with nonstick spray.
  • Drain green chiles (affiliate link) and cut them up if you're using whole chiles.
  • In each muffin cup put grated cheese, some diced green chile, and some sliced green onion if using.
  • Beat eggs until egg whites and yolks are well combined. Add Spike Seasoning (affiliate link) and mix into eggs.
  • Pour egg mixture over cheese so each muffin cup is full. (This usually takes two pourings as the egg mixture settles over the cheese.)
  • I like to take a fork and gently "stir" in each muffin cup to get the cheese evenly distributed in the egg.
  • Bake 375 for about 35 minutes, or until all muffins are puffed up and the top is starting to brown. (I usually start checking them and rotate the pan after 25 minutes.)
  • Egg muffins will keep in the fridge for at least a week.
  • To reheat, put on small plate and microwave for 1-2 minutes. (Don't microwave too long or they get rubbery!)

GREEN CHILE AND CHEESE EGG MUFFINS (SOUTH BEACH DIET FRIENDLY)



Green Chile and Cheese Egg Muffins (South Beach Diet Friendly) image

This recipe is from Kalyn's Kitchen food blog, which has lots of great South Beach diet recipes. I was looking for an easy, portable, protein-rich breakfast that was not too heavy with fat and this is it!

Categories     Breakfast

Time 45m

Yield 12 muffins, 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

12 eggs
1 (4 ounce) can diced green chilies (or use half the can if you want them less spicy, but now I always use the whole can, be sure to use )
1 1/2 cups low-fat cheese, grated (I use Four Cheese Mexican Blend)
2 tablespoons half & half light cream (optional) or 2 tablespoons milk (optional)
1 teaspoon spike seasoning (optional, but recommended, f you don't have Spike use your favorite multi-purpose seasoning.)
salt & freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375F/190°C
  • Spray silicone muffin pans or individual silicone baking cups with nonstick spray. (You can also use 2 paper muffin liners sprayed with non-stick spray but the silicone pan or muffin cups work much better.) In each muffin cup put a very generous pinch of grated cheese. The muffin cup should be about 2/3 full of cheese before you put the egg inches.
  • Break eggs into bowl, add milk or half and half if using, and beat until egg whites and yolks are well combined. Add spices and green chiles with juice and mix into eggs.
  • Pour egg mixture over cheese so each muffin cup liner is full to the brim. (This usually takes two pourings as the egg mixture settles over the cheese. Be sure they are as full as you can get them, but not running over the side.) I like to take a fork and gently "stir" in each muffin cup to get the cheese evenly distributed in the egg.
  • Bake 375 for about 35 minutes, or until all muffins are puffed up and the top is starting to brown. (I usually start checking them and rotate the pan after 25 minutes.).
  • Egg muffins will keep in the fridge for at least a week. To reheat, put on small plate and microwave for 1-2 minutes. (Don't microwave too long or they get rubbery!).

SOUTH BEACH DIET SAUSAGE VEGGIE BREAKFAST MUFFINS



South Beach Diet Sausage Veggie Breakfast Muffins image

I got this recipe from a South Beach Diet Cookbook. They are so easy to make and the veggies change with the seasons. I make a few batches at a time and freeze them in individual zip locks for an easy grab and go in the morning. Just nuke them for 1 minute and go! Not just for breakfast but for a healthy snack. They travel well too.

Time 25m

Yield 12 muffins, 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 -2 lb Italian sausage
2 green peppers
1 small onion
4 large eggs
1/2 cup parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • NOTE: You can use egg substitute (I always keep a container handy).
  • Heat oven to 350.
  • Crumble your italian sauge in a skillet with NO oil until nicely browned. (you can also use the italian patties).
  • Drain on paper towels and set aside in bowl.
  • Chop your peppers and onion and saute in same skillet until soft. Add to your sausages and mix well.
  • Spray your muffin tins and fill 1/2 way with sausage mix. If using whole eggs, beat and pour just to barely cover mix in tins. If using egg substitute, just pour to just barely cover.
  • Sprinkle Parm cheese over top, this will form a nice crust. Place muffin tin on top of large cookie sheet incase of dripping.
  • Bake for 10 - 15 minuters until slightly puffed.
  • There's no seasoning to add because the sausage is pre-seasoned. You can also make this with Turkey Sausage and use whatever veggies you like!

SOUTH BEACH MUFFIN



South Beach Muffin image

An individual muffin that you can whip up fresh and hot for breakfast. No flour or sugar and only 3 net carbs!!! Plus 7 grams of fiber. This little beauty is based on a recipe yogi told me about in the low carb forum. I have tweaked it to not use butter and to be a bit lighter in texture than the original. This recipe is suitable for phase 1 of the South Beach diet (the 3 tablespoons of ground flax seeds count as the portion of nuts allowed per day). I find these are very filling and prevent me from feeling starving all morning.

Time 10m

Yield 1 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 large egg
1 1/2 teaspoons Splenda sugar substitute
1 teaspoon cinnamon (I use more)
2 teaspoons plain fat-free yogurt
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
3 tablespoons ground flax seeds

Steps:

  • Spray a microwave safe ramekin or bowl with cooking spray (or use a muffin liner).
  • Mix the egg and splenda until well combined (I use a fork), add the yogurt and blend well.
  • Mix in the ground flaxseed, cinnamon and baking powder until well combined.
  • Pour in ramekin and microwave on high for 1 minute 30 seconds (note the ramekin should be no more than half full since these do rise a lot, if it is too small they will overflow).
  • These taste best served hot.

SOUTH BEACH PHASE ONE FRIENDLY EGG MUFFINS RECIPE - (3.6/5)



South Beach Phase One Friendly Egg Muffins Recipe - (3.6/5) image

Provided by Pattywak

Number Of Ingredients 6

15 eggs (for silicone muffin pans, use 12 eggs for metal muffin tins or individual silicone cups. You can use less egg yolks and more egg white if you prefer.)
1-2 teaspoons Spike Seasoning
1-2 cups grated low fat cheese (I like sharp cheddar or a blend of cheddar/Jack cheese, use less cheese if using meat)
3 green onions, chopped small (optional)
Chopped veggies such as blanched broccoli, red pepper, zucchini, mushrooms (optional)
Diced Canadian bacon, lean ham, or crumbled cooked turkey sausage (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375°F. Use regular or silicone muffin pan, 12 muffin size. If using silicone pan, spray with nonstick spray. If using regular muffin pan, put two paper liners into each slot, then spray liner with nonstick spray. In the bottom of the muffin cups layer diced meat, if using, vegetables, if using, cheese and green onions. You want the muffin cups to be about 2/3 full, with just enough room to pour a little egg around the other ingredients. Break eggs into large measuring bowl with pour spout, add Spike, and beat well. Pour egg into each muffin cup until it is 3/4 full. I like to stir slightly with a fork. Bake 25-35 minutes until muffins have risen and are slightly browned and set. Muffins will keep at least a week in the refrigerator without freezing. Egg muffins can be frozen and reheated. For best results, thaw in refrigerator before reheating. Microwave on high about 2 minutes to reheat.
