INGREDIENTS (serves 12):

  • Nonstick cooking spray
  • 2 (4 ounce) cartons frozen egg substitute, defrosted
  • ½ cup reduced-fat milk

  • 2 tablespoons fresh basil, chopped
  • Special Equipment

    1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Spray a 12 cup muffin tin with nonstick spray and set aside.
    2. Whisk together the egg substitute, milk, pepper, and salt in a large bowl until thoroughly blended. Stir in the remaining ingredients.
    3. Fill prepared muffin cups almost to the top with the egg mixture and bake until they puff up and just begin to set in the center, about 8 to 10 minutes.
