I just made some scrambled egg muffins and let me tell you they are delicious. They only have 1.5 g (net carbs) 2 total carbs. Perfect for on the run breakfasts and for induction. If you love denver omelets, this is for you!

Okay here's the recipe:
1/2 lb bulk sausage
12 eggs
1/2 cup chopped onion
1/4 cup chopped green pepper
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
1/4 tsp garlic powder
1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese

In a skillet, brown the sausage. Drain. In a bowl, beat the eggs. Add onion, green pepper, salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Stir in sausage and cheese. Spoon by 1/3 cupfuls into greased muffin cups. Bake at 350 degrees for 20-25 minutes or until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean.

Yields: 1 dozen. Approx. 1.5 carbs per "muffin"

Per Serving: 167 calories; 14 g Fat; 9g protein; 2g Carbohydrate; 0.5g Dietary Fiber; 205 mg Cholesterol; 300 mg Sodium.

Here's how mine looked once they turned out.

Oh they look good! I make a different version but oh so easy!! I also put mine in the extra lagre muffin tins.
6 eggs
1/2 c. heavy cream
6 pieces bacon
some cheese

Fry the bacon til crisp
Scramble the eggs with the cream
divide into the muffin pan ( I spray mine with pam)
break up one piece bacon each top with some cheese

Bake at 350 for about 15 min. Just keep your eye on them .
I wrap them in plastic and grab one for breakfast on my way out the door..pop them in the microwave for 1 min and yummy breakfast!!!

I wouldn't keep them around longer than 4 days though!
