Power Protein Egg Cups



These were great to make ahead of time and just pop in the microwave in the morning to make a healthy choice for breakfast!

**I was in the zone when cooking and forgot to take pictures.  Next time I make them, will add pictures**

Prep time: 15 mins
Cooking Time: 20 minutes
Makes 6 servings, 2 egg cups each

Ingredients:
Nonstick cooking spray
1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk
16 large egg whites (2 cups)  I just used the liquid egg whites
Sea salt and ground black pepper to taste
2 slices cooked turkey bacon, chopped
3 oz. cooked shredded chicken breast
2 cups chopped red bell peppers
1 cup chopped onion
Pinch of cheese

Directions:
1.  Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2.  Place muffin liners in muffin tin or coat with cooking spray.
3.  Combine almond milk and egg whites in a medium bowl.  Season with salt and pepper.  Whisk until blended and set aside
4.  Evenly divide turkey bacon, chicken, bell peppers, and onion between prepared muffin cups.
5.  Evenly pour egg white mixture over turkey bacon mixture.
6.  Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of egg cups come out clean and eggs are set.  I placed a few pieces of shredded cheese on top - just because I like cheese!



**To reheat, I place in microwave for 30 seconds and enjoy!
