This recipe is AMAZING! and extremely versatile. If you don't like it 'western' just swap out a few ingredients & you can make it however you like!
Ingredients:
6 eggs
2c. egg whites
1 lb breakfast turkey sausage
1/2 green bell pepper, diced
1/2 onion, diced
1 c. pepperjack cheese
2 tbsp Goya Adobo, to taste
1 jalapeno, optional
Extra virgin olive oil (evoo) cooking spray
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Wash and dice veggies. Brown turkey and add veggies until veggies are soft. In a large mixing bowl, mix eggs, turkey, peppers, onions, cheese and Goya. Spray muffin tin with evoo and then pour mixture in using a 1c. measuring cup. I like to slice the jalapenos side-ways and add them on top so 1) it looks pretty and 2) so people are very aware this dish could have a kick. Bake for 25-35 minutes until eggs are cooked through. You can test this by sticking a toothpick in the middle and if it comes back out clean, you're good to go. Once removed from the oven, I like to take a knife and go around the edges then let the eggs cool before taking them out.
You can make these even healthier by using less eggs, more egg whites.
Pour mixture into muffin tins & top with jalapeno slice
Let cool before taking them out, this tends to help with sticking
I hosted a girlfriend's Bachelorette party brunch where I made 2 other versions of this: bacon, egg and cheddar cheese and vegetarian. It was so great because I made them a day or two prior, left them in the fridge and simply reheated them in the microwave and they were as good as the day I originally made them.

If you end up making this recipe I'd love to hear what you thought or how you altered it!
