6eggs, separated
1/2 lb ground sausage
4 oz. cheddar cheese
1/4 C. half & half or cream
salt and pepper to taste
Directions:
Brown sausage, drain and set aside
With a beater, beat egg whites until stiff
In a separate bowl, whip egg yolks and then add the sausage, cheese, cream, salt & pepper (You could also add some veggies, such as, mushrooms, green peppers, and/or onions.)
Ad the egg yolk/sausage mixture to the egg whites and stir until blended.
Spray muffin tin cups liberally with cooking spray.
Fill 6 muffin cups with egg mixture. (I used the large 6 cups muffin tin and the mixture filled all 6. So if you want you could probably fill a small 12 cup tin as well.)
Bake at 350 until eggs are set and tops are golden.
Carbs: 2 each (1 if you use the smaller tin)
