Besides the puppy, no one in our house is a morning person. But when I was a stay at home mommy, my kids never had cereal for breakfast. I always made eggs, waffles, toast, etc. Now that all four of us have some where to be quite early in the morning I have to improvise. These yummy breakfast treats are a hybrid of omelets and muffins. The prep time is about 15 minutes. If you double up on the recipe, you can make them on the weekend and then freeze them in a zip-lock bag and microwave them in the morning.
2/3 cup low fat cottage cheese
1/4 cup grated parmesan
1/4 cup white whole wheat flour
2/3 cup almond meal
1 tsp. baking powder
1/4 tsp. salt
4 eggs, beaten
3 T water
1/3 cup finely diced ham or 4 slices bacon (I use turkey bacon)
1/2 cup low-fat sharp cheddar
3 T sliced green onions
The ingredient list is pretty basic, save the almond meal, which will set you back about $10. Mix together the cottage cheese, parmesan, flour, almond meal, baking powder, salt, eggs, and water. Fold in the bacon, cheddar and green onions. Spray the inside of muffin liners lightly with olive oil, you will have enough batter for 6-8 muffins. Fill muffin liners up to the top. Bake at 400 degrees for 25-30 minutes, until the tops are golden brown.
Again, I like to double up on the recipe so we have breakfast for a few mornings. I also like to toss in a little extra cheddar cheese and an extra pinch of salt. They are delicious served with orange slices or a frozen breakfast smoothie which I will post the recipe for later. Enjoy!
