BREAKFAST SOUFFLE
These breakfast souffles are easy to make and are just what the busy morning person is looking for. Whether you have an early meeting or you're sending a pile of kids off to school, this breakfast is quick to reheat and packs plenty of protein to keep you going until lunch!
I used turkey bacon in mine, though you can just swap that out for crumbled pieces of sausage, bacon, sliced ham or pieces of left over steak! You can also use any veggies you choose. Just remember *if you want to use mushrooms or spinach - precook them and drain off any excess liquid*.
These particular souffles are Paleo, but if you're not a Paleo person (or a Mostly Paleo person...) you can add in some extra sharp cheddar, Swiss, or goat cheese to jazz these up.
**These are the perfect size for me. I pair them with a little fresh fruit and I'm set. If you need a bigger breakfast you can easily add more eggs (or just egg whites!) to the mix for a larger souffle.**
You will need: A cookie sheet or cake pan, free standing oven safe paper cups. (I got mine in the party/cake decorating isle of Walmart. They should also be available at your local grocery store or kitchen supply store.)
Preheat oven to 325.
SOUFFLE:
9 eggs
1/2 c whole fat milk (optional)
6 slices of turkey bacon, regular bacon cooked and cooled
Thinly sliced onions and tomatoes (or whichever veggies you are planning to use)
#1: Place your paper cups in on the cookie sheet and spray or brush lightly with oil. [A spray bottle for oil is a very handy thing. You can find these online or at a place like Bed Bath and Beyond.]
#2: Beat or mix your eggs very well in a bowl, they will increase in volume a little as you whip air into them. If you're using milk you will add that in now.
#3:Place your meat, veggies, (and cheese - if you're using it) in the bottom of the paper cups. Pour equal amounts of the egg mixture over each.
#4: Bake for 25 minutes. Or until done.
YIELD: 6
Once these cool you can store them in the refrigerator for up to two days. After that I would recommend storing them in the freezer. The whole thing can be warmed up in the microwave, so they are great for mom's who are trying to get their kids off to school with something more nutritious than a pop-tart!
Tip: If you are using sliced tomatoes, lay them out on a paper towel as you are doing your prep to absorb any excess water.
Did I mention they're portable? In a super big rush? Just grab a napkin and eat it like a cupcake on your way to work! [I shouldn't have to say this, but: They might be hot... do not burn yourself, please.]
