Note: This recipe appears in the South Beach Diet Cookbook. These treats are a healthier and different take on the typical egg muffin you would get at a fast food restaurant. You can use bacon or sausage in these egg muffins and they will fill you up. You can also use any kind of shredded cheese in these muffins and they will still be tasty. You can make these muffins on the weekend and warm them in the microwave for a fast treat for breakfast or an on-the-go snack.
