Prep Time 10 minutes
Cook Time 18 minutes
Total Time 28 minutes
Servings: 6 servings

Ingredients
  

  • 9 slices deli turkey breast
  • 1/4 cup reduced-fat shredded cheddar cheese
  • 2 tablespoons reduced-fat shredded cheddar cheese extra added to the 1/4 cup (total 1/4 cup + 2 tablespoons)
  • 3 tablespoons green onion diced
  • 2 eggs
  • 6 egg whites egg whites
  • 1/4 cup Buffalo sauce plus more for drizzling, if desired
  • salt to taste
  • black pepper to taste

Equipment

  • Muffin Tin
  • Mixing Bowl
  • Whisk or fork
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Cooking spray

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) and generously spray a 6-cup muffin tin with cooking spray.
  2. Halve 3 of the turkey slices crosswise. Line each of the 6 muffin cups with 1½ slices of turkey so the cups are fully covered and form a cup shape with no holes.
  3. Place about 1 tablespoon shredded cheddar and ½ tablespoon diced green onion into the center of each turkey-lined muffin cup.
  4. In a large bowl, whisk together 2 whole eggs, 6 egg whites, and 1/4 cup Buffalo sauce until combined. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
  5. Carefully divide the egg mixture evenly among the 6 muffin cups, filling almost to the top of each cup.
  6. Bake for 15–18 minutes, until the eggs are set and slightly puffed. Remove from oven and let cool for a minute.
  7. Drizzle additional Buffalo sauce over the muffins if desired, then serve immediately.

Notes

  • Use a nonstick spray so the turkey cups release easily.
  • Dice green onion finely for even distribution.
  • Adjust Buffalo sauce to taste for mild or spicy heat.
  • Check muffins a minute early to avoid overbaking.
