Ingredients (Makes 12 muffins)

6 large eggs
½ cup egg whites
½ cup reduced-fat shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or your choice)
½ cup diced bell peppers (any color)
½ cup diced onions
½ cup fresh spinach (chopped)
½ lb (8 oz) lean turkey sausage (or chicken sausage, crumbled and cooked)
¼ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon black pepper
¼ teaspoon garlic powder
¼ teaspoon smoked paprika (optional)

Instructions

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 12-cup muffin tin or use silicone muffin liners.
Cook the turkey sausage in a skillet over medium heat until browned. Drain any excess grease and let it cool.
Whisk the eggs & egg whites in a large bowl. Add salt, pepper, garlic powder, and smoked paprika.
Add the veggies (bell peppers, onions, and spinach) to the egg mixture. Stir in the cooked sausage and shredded cheese.
Pour the mixture evenly into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about ¾ full.
Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until the muffins are set and lightly golden on top.
Let them cool for 5 minutes before removing them from the tin. Enjoy warm or store for later!
