I'm a busy gal. I tend to put too much on my plate and have trouble just sitting and watching tv or a movie without doing 5 other things at the same time. I've just kind of always been that way since I was young and started working.
I'm often pressed for time and I'm also not the world's best grocery shopper. I hate grocery shopping (stemming from 5 years of working in a grocery store) so I tend to procrastinate.
I don't eat breakfast as soon as I get up in the morning. I tend to not be hungry right away, so I eat when I get to work. I usually grab something like oatmeal, greek yogurt or a cliff bar. I decided I needed to change things up a bit and give myself more options because I don't always have healthy items on hand for breakfast.
I love eggs. I almost always have eggs in my fridge. When I saw this recipe from Amy's Kitchen Creations I knew that I had try it!
Eggs for Breakfast Sandwiches
So here is what you do.
Spray a muffin tin with cooking spray
Put spinach in the bottom of the tin
Crack an egg on top of the spinach
Season with whatever seasoning you like (I just did sea salt and pepper)
Bake at 350 for 15 ish minutes. My oven took about 17. I wanted to make sure they were cooked all the way through because I wasn't going to be eating them right away.
You can then store the eggs in a container in your fridge for on the go breakfasts. Amy says they will last about 6-7 days, but if things start to smell funny to not chance eating them.
I made about 4 of them, just to try it out and see how it worked. They turned out great!
I also thought this would be a great idea for a brunch or breakfast party. You can make 12 of them at a time and based on how people want them cooked, you make them a little more runny or even scrambled.
I grabbed an egg, a whole wheat slim sandwich bread (100 calorie) and a little bit of butter spread for a quick, low cal, easy protein filled breakfast. Next time, I'll also grab a slice of tomato. Yum!
yum!
