Southwestern Egg Muffins

January 16, 2013 By Shannah 31 Comments

It is a new year. Have you started writing 2013 yet or are you still, like me, adding a little curve to the bottom of the 2 in 2012?

With the new year often comes declarations of grand goals…you know, those resolutions things. Of course, like so many, mine include healthier eating.

Someone really smart once said {something like this} that if you start your day off making the right food choices, then, you are most likely going to continue to make good choices throughout the day. Breakfast really IS the most important meal of the day.

So, let’s make a healthy choice and start our day with great things like shredded potatoes, lean ham, veggies and egg whites. I’m talking Southwest Egg White “Muffins” here.

What You’ll Need:
2 cups shredded potatoes (go easy on yourself and just buy simply potatoes)
2 tsp chili powder
1/2 cup onion, chopped
1 Tbsp minced garlic
1 bell pepper, finely chopped
1/2 cup diced lean ham
16 oz Egg Beaters {or similar} egg whites
1/4 cup shredded Mexican blend cheese
Cooking Spray

Let’s Make It:
1) Preheat your oven to 375 degrees. Coat muffin pan with cooking spray. {We’re working with eggs here so be generous with the spray}.

2) Spray a large skillet lightly with cooking spray.  Add the shredded potatoes, chili powder, garlic and onion.  Saute over medium heat for approximately 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.  The potatoes will not be fully cooked.

3)  While the potatoes cook, combine the ham and red bell pepper in a bowl.
 Add in the egg whites and stir well.

4)  Add 1/4 cup shredded potatoes to each of the muffins cups.
 Fill each muffin cup until approximately 2/3 full.  Top with a sprinkle of shredded cheese.

5)  Bake at 375 degrees for 20 minutes or until done.
 

I eat mine with a side of salsa.
 Sometimes, I dip my pieces but most of the time I just pour the salsa on top.
 Breakfast is served…

    Looks yummy, although I would probably substitute something for the potato to make it lower-carb!

    Quit it! You’re making my mouth water. haha! We made some egg muffins, but just put shredded, precooked bacon and cheese in it. I made them in my mini-muffin tin. Guess I need a larger muffin tin so I can add potatoes!
