Starting Out Right


Breakfast is the most important meal of the day for a South Beach Dieter. Bad breakfast habits—like eating processed carbs or skipping the meal entirely—may pave the way for dangerous cravings throughout the day. To ensure a healthy start, try the following recipe from The South Beach Diet™ Cookbook:

Sausage and Cheese Breakfast Cups (Makes 6 cups)


Ingredients

4 ounces turkey sausage or crumbled turkey bacon
1/2 green bell pepper, chopped
1/4 onion, chopped
5 large eggs
1 can (12 ounces) sliced mushrooms, drained
1/2 cup (2 ounces) shredded, reduced-fat Cheddar cheese

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F. Coat a 6-cup nonstick muffin pan with cooking spray or line with paper baking cups.

In a medium nonstick skillet over medium-high heat, cook the sausage, pepper, and onion for 5 minutes, or until the sausage is no longer pink. Spoon the mixture into a bowl and cool slightly. Stir in the eggs and mushrooms. Evenly divide the mixture among the prepared muffin cups. Sprinkle with the cheese.

Bake for 20 minutes, or until the egg is set.

I made these a couple of weeks ago and they are really good. I doubled the amounts so that I would have a bunch to freeze. I also added some hot sauce to them.
