Рецепт Denver Omelette Muffin Cups
Omelette muffin cups are an easy and portable way to enjoy eggs in the morning, afternoon, or anytime of day! I took the recipe for a Denver Omelette from the "Weight Watchers in 20 Minutes" cookbook, spiced it up a bit, and tweaked it to be made into muffin cups. The great thing about these cups is that you can make them up ahead of time and refrigerate them (or freeze them) and then microwave for an on-the-go meal or snack!
I used all liquid egg substitute in these, but if you aren't a huge fan of egg substitute, feel free to use all or part real whole eggs. (note that the nutrition information will change if you do not use all egg substitute.) I decided to kick up the flavor of these with some jalapeno pepper and a few dashes of hot sauce, but you can omit if you are not a fan of spice!
And the best part...these muffin cups are around 50 calories each! How can you go wrong with that?
