Egg White, Spinach, Bacon, Cheese, Tomato Breakfast Bakes

So, my friend turned me onto this low carb protein bread which was not bad when toasted and only nets 1 gram of carb, per slice!  I thought I'd make these to go along side it for breakfast at work for this following week.  I made 6 in a jumbo muffin tin.  You could use whatever you want in them...bell pepper, green onions, red onions, mushrooms, zucchini, kale, cilantro, parsley, chives, etc. etc - the possibilities are endless!  I used what I had in my fridge/house today.

• One 500g carton - 14 free run egg whites

• Chiffonade of organic baby spinach (about a handful)
• 3 slices of no nitrates natural bacon, cooked till crisp and then crumbled
• 6 oz 2 year old aged white cheddar cheese, grated
• 1/2 large roma tomato, diced
• Kosher salt and fresh cracked pepper, to taste

I preheated my oven to 350°F.  I used cooking spray on the tins and set aside.

I pan fried the bacon and blotted on paper towels when done.  I forgot to photograph it, as I did it first thing in the morning and wasn't thinking of taking pictures... I sliced my spinach and set aside.

I diced the tomato and set aside.

I grated the cheese and was ready to assemble.

I shook up well and poured the carton of egg whites divided evenly into each muffin cup.

Then I divided all the remaining ingredients evenly into each tin.

I baked these for 20 minutes and then checked to see.  They needed 5 more minutes (I tried to brown the tops).

I cooled the tray on a rack and then took them out of the pan and cooled them individually on the rack.

I put each one into a ziploc bag and then into the fridge.  Breakfast was ready for the next week.  If you were going to re-heat them in the nuker (microwave), I would only go for 30 seconds, but your mileage may vary...

Oh, we tried one (with Cholula hot sauce) as I only needed 5 for my work week 😉.  They deflated and were dense, but I didn't care at all.  Very yummy, easy breakfast and these were flavor bombed.  Some hot sauce shaken over top would be tasty (lucky for me, I have this in my desk drawer at the office).  But, next time, I think I'd put a diced jalapeno in.  Very little time to put together.  A win all the way around for an upcoming healthy work week breakfast.  Tomorrow I'm going to sandwich one of these in between a halved toasted slice of protein bread.
