recipe time

Look what I made last night. I told my son they were "egg cupcakes," so he'd give them a try. It didn't work.  (Dangit, he's gettin' smart!).  My one year old devoured his though.  I used this recipe from allrecipes.com but used 3 veggie sausage patties from Trader Joes (microwaved, lol) and a red onion because it was all I had. Plus I cut the recipe in half and baked it in a muffin pan so I could have some handy meals to pop in the microwave for the rest of the week.  Oh and I used less butter too.  So mine probably had less calories than the original version, especially when half the recipe made 12 "muffins."  I can only eat one as a meal and that's only half a serving...maybe next time I'll use carmelized onions and bacon.

  1. um, YUM!! girl i make egg casserole all the time but i never thought of making the egg muffins! that's SO handy and QUICK for a meal!! def going to do this one, thanks so much for sharing! I wonder if you can leave out the flour mixture to cut down on the carbs? I never made my casseroles with that... but now it makes me wonder how it makes it taste?! hmmmm...

  2. How creative! Might have to give this one a try. My girls love eggs so they're pretty open to most egg-y concoctions.

  3. I've made these before (didn't really have a specific recipe) but one lesson I learned was to either use liners or line the muffin tins with foil because even with Pam, the egg was hard to get out. Looks yummers!
