Quickest South Beach Breakfast

Submitted by Boonyas mom

"I needed a quick, fresh, easy breakfast before I go to work. I did not like the South Beach cookbooks idea of making a bunch of egg muffins and freezing them. This can be changed a million ways - using different veggies, adding salsa..."

I make something very similar to this. I like to quarter a tomatoe or two, put a little olive oil on it, sprinkle it with salt, pepper (and what ever else I'm in the mood to try) and roast them. I love the taste of the roasted tomatoes with the spinach and eggs.

Im new to the dieting scene and I have been trying to find healthy quick and easy recipes to make and I stumbled across this one....AWESOME!! So fast and easy and tastes great! I made it exactly as the recipe stated only I cooked it for 2 minutes total. I plan to add a few things next time I make it like others suggested in the reviews! Thanks for the great recipe!!

Working great for me. I used spinach and bell pepper with egg whites and then found Santa Barbara salsa (Costco) with spinach was even better with the egg whites. Admittedly I didn't get to ever trying the microwave method, just sauted them up in a small skillet with a little pam and poured in the egg whites. Been going on a 2 week sprint with these for breakfast.

delicious and easy, my 8 year old daughter even loved it. I'm with you, gotta have a little fat in my cheese! 2 minutes was a little long in my microwave, let alone the extra minute. Next time I'll either cook at 50% or for just 1 minute. Thanks for sharing :)

Loved it! I slept late this morning, so I was going to leave it until tomorrow to try, but then decided to do it anyway. It took no time at all to prepare, and I was able to go to work with a full tummy, after eating something healthy and delicious! I'll definately be making this one again.

I love it with some cracked black pepper and a generous sprinkle of dried chilli flakes!
