South Beach Phase One Friendly Egg Muffins

These are excellent. I used Turkey sausage crumbles and topped with salsa. Wonderful.. Husband approved

These little mini-frittatas don't contain any flour at all, and they're perfect for phase one.

I don't think of egg muffins as only for people who are eating the South Beach Diet way, although they're perfect for any phase of the diet. They're high in protein, gluten-free, and perfect to feed to kids.

Use silicone muffin tins, spray them with nonstick spray, and put them on a large cookie sheet to catch spills.

The two ingredients I think are essential are cheese and green onions. Other than that, the varieties are endless. Put cheese, meat, or veggies in the muffin cups first, then pour in beaten eggs.

For me, two small muffins is the right amount for breakfast. No matter how many you eat, smaller ones reheat in the microwave more quickly, so they don't get overdone. I fill the muffin cups about 3/4 full.

When muffins are done, loosen them with a knife before popping them out of the silicone muffin pan.
Let the muffins cool for 15-20 minutes before you store them in the refrigerator or freezer.
