Pizza! Pizza! Egg Mug (Put to Little Ceasers Commericial)


Isn't cold pizza for breakfast one of the best things ever! Well it may be tasty, but defiantly not all that healthy for you. Here's another alternative, which gives you a warm satisfying breakfast as well as that awesome pizza taste! This recipe comes from the 300 under 300 recipe book. I made this for the first time this morning and I thought it was fabulous! I will be making this dish often from now on. Cheers to Egg Mugs!

Ingredients
Serving Size: 1 Serving (entire mug) 134 Calories
2 tbsp. canned crushed tomatoes
1/8 tsp. Italian seasoning
1/2 cup fat-free liquid egg substitute (like Egg Beaters Original)
1 wedge The Laughing Cow Light Original Swiss cheese
6 slices turkey pepperoni (like the kind by Hormel) or soy protein pepperoni, chopped
1/2 tsp. reduced-fat Parmesan-style grated topping

Season crushed tomatoes with Italian seasoning and set aside.

Spray a large microwave-safe mug lightly with nonstick spray. Add egg substitute and cheese wedge, breaking the cheese wedge into pieces as you add it. Microwave for 1 minute.

Stir gently, and then microwave for another 30 seconds.

Mix in seasoned tomatoes and pepperoni. Microwave for another 30 seconds, until scramble is just set.

Stir lightly, and then sprinkle with grated topping. Allow to cool a bit, and then ENJOY! I paired my egg mug with a large gala apple and a large cup of hot coffee!

If you don't feel like opening a can of tomatoes for just 2 tbsp., you can use some jarred low-fat pizza sauce instead!

My Big Fat Greek Egg Mug


This is a recipe from the HG 300 Under 300 Cookbook. I made this for the first time last week and I loved it so much, I had to share. If you were wondering what an egg mug is, well its basically a breakfast scramble in a mug! This recipe is super easy and there's really only one dish to clean up!

Ingredients
Serving Size: 1 Serving (entire mug), 117 Calories
1/2 cup chopped fresh spinach
1/4 cup chopped red onion
1/2 cup fat-free liquid egg substitute (like Egg Beaters Original)
2 tbsp. diced tomatoes
2 tbsp. crumbled reduced-fat feta cheese
1/2 tbsp. chopped fresh basil

Spray a large microwave-safe mug with nonstick spray. Add spinach and onion, and microwave for 1 - 2 minutes, until softened.

Blot any excess liquid from veggies (This step is very important. If you don't get the liquid out, you will have runny eggs, trust me on this one). Add egg substitute and microwave for 1 minute.

Stir gently. Add all other ingredients and lightly stir. Return to microwave for 45 - 60 seconds, until scramble is just set.

Gently stir, and then allow to cool slightly. Dig in! I paired this dish with a banana and my morning coffee! It is so low in calories you could almost make two and not feel guilty about it!
