    I use low fat turkey sausage or turkey bacon. Crumble sausage while cooking. Crumble bacon after cooking. Set aside. Soften vegies (i.e. mushrooms, zuccini, onions, garlic, green onions) I sprinkle some ground flax seed on vegis while cooking. Reduce # of egg yokes for an extra healthy option. - 10/15/09

    Perfect for my daughter who likes to sleep in till the last minute, then has to go without breakfast. Microwaving for 15 seconds makes them perfect - moist and cheesy! - 6/25/09

    Perfect for the on-the go lifestyle. I made a batch - packed them in a container and hit the road. They warmed up nicely in a hotel room microwave (20 seconds) Thanks for sharing ~ - 11/2/08

    Great instructions; works out perfect. So easy to make. I added 1 c of crumbled bacon instead of the seasonings. Hubby loves having them handy for a quick breakfast, and they can be shared with the dog who needs to gain a few pounds. - 8/17/14

    These are my "go to" breakfast. I use the recipe from Kayln's Kitchen blog.....reduced fat cheese and green onion, Spike seasoning. With a glass of V8 juice, these get me through the morning! - 7/29/10

    I love the fact you can individualize each muffin if someone would like less or more something than anyone else. - 6/23/09
