Ref: www.eatingwell.com

We’ve received many request for breakfast recipes that help stabilize blood sugar and provide energy to get through the morning. These crust-less mini quiches are like portable omelets that can be made in advance for those pressed for time in the mornings. Try combining a few of these with a handful of raw nuts for a great breakfast.

Ingredients:

• 8 ounces turkey breakfast sausage, removed from casing and crumbled into small pieces (preferably organicsausages)
• 1 teaspoon extra-virgin olive oil
• 8 ounces mushrooms, sliced
• 1/4 cup sliced scallions
• 1/4 cup shredded cheese (preferably organic)
• 1 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
• 5 eggs
• 3 egg whites
• 1 cup 1% milk

Directions:

1. Position rack in center of oven; preheat to 325F. Coat a nonstick muffin tin generously with coconut oil. (suitable for high heat)
2. Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add sausage and cook until golden brown, 6 to 8 minutes. Transfer to a bowl to cool. Add oil to the pan. Add mushrooms and cook, stirring often, until golden brown, 5 to 7 minutes. Transfer mushrooms to the bowl with the sausage. Let cool for 5 minutes. Stir in scallions, cheese and pepper.
3. Whisk eggs, egg whites and milk in a medium bowl. Divide the egg mixture evenly among the prepared muffin cups. Sprinkle a heaping tablespoon of the sausage mixture into each cup.
4. Bake until the tops are just beginning to brown, 25 minutes. Let cool on a wire rack for 5 minutes. Place a rack on top of the pan, flip it over and turn the quiches out onto the rack. Turn upright and let cool completely.
