DSC_0556Ingredients:

6 Eggs

Bacon/Ham/Sausage  (cooked and chopped)
Peppers/Onions/Mushrooms/Spinach
Feta
**Arrange Bacon on a rack over baking sheet lined with foil and bake 375 for 10-15 minutes. Chop vegetables and cook until soft and translucent, allow to cool. While bacon and vegetables are cooking, crack eggs into a dish, add egg white, milk and beat. Once vegetables and meat are cooked and semi-cooled, add everything to the beaten eggs and mix. Spray a muffin pan generously with coconut oil and fill each cup 3/4 of the way with egg mixture (I use 1/2c measuring up so there’s less mess). Top with cheese of choice. Bake 375 for 20-25 minutes until egg is cooked through. Remove egg immediately from pan to help from sticking. Egg cups can be stored for 7-10 days in refrigerator.

    With all the summer squash coming in the CSA I will surely have to make stuffed squash! I always forget there are tons of things you can stuff them with! Brilliant meal planning, going to try those pizza muffins. What’s your sauce recipe, message me that on fb if you can! I’m going to try the freezer method too!
