- 18 eggs, large
- 6 egg whites
- 6 turkey links, frozen & precooked
- 1/2 cup white onion
- 1 cup baby spinach
- 20 cherry tomatoes, diced
- 1/8 tsp black pepper
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray muffin tin with cooking spray. Crack all of the eggs and egg whites then beat them together in a large bowl. Set aside.
In a food processor, chop the onion and sausage into crumbed pieces. Add them to the egg mixture. Using a sharp knife, chop the spinach and tomatoes into small pieces. Stir them into the egg mixture. Add pepper.
Fill each muffin tin ¾ of the way full. This should fill 24 muffin tins. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a food thermometer reads 160 degrees.
Eat, or place in an air-tight container and store in the refrigerator or freezer for another day.
