INGREDIENTS:
8 ounces turkey breakfast sausage
8 ounces mushrooms, sliced (I only used about 2-3 oz.)
1 teaspoon extra-virgin olive oil
1 heaping handful of fresh spinach (about 1 cup)
1 cup cheddar cheese (GRATE YOUR OWN!!!)
1/2 teaspoon ground pepper
1 cup 2% milk
5 eggs
3 egg whites
8 ounces mushrooms, sliced (I only used about 2-3 oz.)
1 teaspoon extra-virgin olive oil
1 heaping handful of fresh spinach (about 1 cup)
1 cup cheddar cheese (GRATE YOUR OWN!!!)
1/2 teaspoon ground pepper
1 cup 2% milk
5 eggs
3 egg whites
DIRECTIONS:
1. Preheat oven to 325. Position rack in the center of your oven and coat a nonstick muffin tin with cooking spray.
2. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat, cooking turkey sausage until golden brown. Transfer your fully cooked meat to a bowl to cool. Add olive oil to the pan, then add mushrooms and spinach and cook until mushrooms are golden brown. (I bought an 8oz. package of mushrooms {6 in a package} and only used 2 of them. I food processed them, along with a heaping handful of spinach, until finely chopped. While the mushroom/spinach mixture was cooking, I put the cooked turkey in the food processor and finely chopped.) Add cooked mushroom/spinach mixture to the bowl with the turkey sausage. Add cheddar cheese and stir mixture until combined.
3. In a medium bowl, whisk the eggs, egg whites, pepper, and milk. Divide the egg mixture evenly among the prepared muffin cups, then drop a heaping tablespoon of the sausage mixture into each cup.
4. Bake 25 to 30 minutes, or until the tops are just beginning to turn brown. Let cool on a rack for 5 minutes.
*Add other veggies if you'd like!! (Peppers or onions would be delish too!)
