2. Wrap and bake according to package directions.

Breakfast Muffins with Ham "Crust"

This is a variation of the Skinny Egg White Muffins that I have posted previously.

Ingredients:
1 Carton of egg whites
Sliced Deli Ham
Red & Green bell peppers
Onion
Pam Spray
Jimmy Dean Turkey Crumbles

Direction:
1. Spray muffin pan with Pam. Place ham in bottom of muffin pan to act like a crust.

2. Dice onion and peppers and add to muffin pan.

3. Add turkey sausage crumbles (if desired). Fill muffin pan cups with egg white (about 3/4 of the way up).

4. Bake at 350 degrees for 20-30 minutes. Cool on wire rack. Make sure they are completely cool before refrigerating (this will reduce the extra moisture).

WW Artichoke and Red Pepper Frittata

I tried a new breakfast recipe today, which I found on the WW site. This Artichoke and Red Pepper Frittata had a bit of a prep time, but a fast cook time. Each serving (4 total) is 6 points.



Ingredients:
1 medium uncooked onion, peeled and chopped
6 oz can artichoke hearts (without oil) about 1 cup, coarsely chopped
1 cup roasted red peppers (packed in water), about 8 pieces, coarsely chopped (1 jar)
1/2 tsp dried oregano
1/2 tsp table salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
6 large egg white(s)
2 large egg(s)
1/2 tsp red pepper flakes
1/2 cup (shredded) hard cheese, Asiago variety

Directions:
Heat 10-inch nonstick, ovenproof skillet coated with cooking spray over medium heat.




Add onion, sauté. Add artichokes and peppers. Sauté 2 minutes, stirring occasionally.

In a bowl, beat together red pepper flakes, oregano, salt, pepper, egg whites and eggs. Pour over vegetable mixture. Cook over medium heat until eggs begin to set ~ 5 minutes. Gently lift egg mixture to let uncooked egg portion run to bottom of skillet. When almost set, sprinkle with cheese.



Place skillet under broiler, until cheese melts (1-2 minutes).
Cut into 4 wedges.
