Breakfast Muffins with Bacon and Sausage
Posted by MRC Kitchen on June 21, 2014
Prepare to fall in love with breakfast again. This breakfast casserole (or muffins) has completely changed my breakfast routine, and I know it will do the same for you. Try making it on a Sunday night and you'll a yummy meal for breakfast the entire week; unless someone in my family gets eats them first, but who can blame them it’s THAT good. You can use an 8x8 pan or choose a muffin tray for easy individual servings.
Ingredients:
- 6 eggs
- 4 oz. Shredded cheese
- 4 oz. Ground Turkey
- 8 oz. Fresh salsa (or simply diced tomatoes and green onions)
- 4 oz sautéed bell pepper
- Montreal steak seasoning
- 6 slices uncured bacon, cooked and chopped
- 1/4 tsp each: salt, pepper
- Pinch garlic powder
Directions:
- Brown the turkey with Montreal steak seasoning (this will make the turkey taste like sausage), crumbled.
- Cook 6 slices bacon until crisp and crumble (bacon is optional).
- In a mixing bowl whip together; eggs, bacon, cheese, spices, and ground turkey. Gently stir in salsa and peppers.
- For a casserole pour the mixture into an 8x8 pan sprayed with cooking spray. Bake casserole at 375 for 30-45 minutes.
- For breakfast muffins, coat 6 cups with cooking spray or line with muffin paper, bake for 25 minutes, or until knife inserted in center comes out clean.
Servings Size: 6. 1 Muffin or 1/6 of the casserole replaces one protein serving, and one healthy fat serving (if you choose to add bacon). The vegetables are minimal, just reduce your lunch vegetable portion by 1 ounce to compensate.
