Good Breakfasts

Today my co-workers and I were discussing quick, healthy breakfasts and sharing good recipes. Here are some of mine. I love that they can be made ahead and reheated in the microwave. Both are from The South Beach Diet Cookbook.

Sausage and Cheese Breakfast Cups

4 oz. turkey sausage
1/2 green bell pepper, chopped
1/4 onion, chopped
5 large eggs or egg substitute
12 oz. sliced mushrooms, drained
2 oz. shredded reduced-fat cheddar cheese

Preheat the oven to 350 F. Coat a 6-cup nonstick muffin pan with cooking spray.
Cook the sausage, pepper, and onion for 5 minutes. Spoon the mixture into a bowl and mix in egg and mushrooms. Evenly divide mixture among the muffin cups. Sprinkle with cheese.
Bake for 20 minutes.

Vegetable Quiche Cups

10 oz. frozen chopped spinach
3/4 cup liquid egg substitute
3/4 cup shredded reduced-fat cheese
1/4 cup diced green bell peppers
1/4 cup diced onions

Preheat the oven to 350 F. Coat a 12-cup nonstick muffin pan with cooking spray.
Microwave the spinach for 2.5 minutes on high and remove excess liquid. Mix the egg substitute, cheese, peppers, onions, and spinach. Evenly divide mixture among the muffin cups.
Bake for 20 minutes.
