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

Equipment

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

Ingredients
  

  • 9 slices deli turkey breast
  • 1/4 cup reduced-fat shredded cheddar cheese
  • 2 tablespoons reduced-fat shredded cheddar cheese additional to the 1/4 cup (total listed as 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 and pepper to taste

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and spray a 6-cup muffin tin generously with cooking spray.
  • Halve 3 of the turkey slices. Line each of the 6 muffin cups with 1½ slices of turkey (use whole slices for the remaining 6 to total 9 slices), pressing them to cover the cavity and form a cup without holes.
  • Place about 1 tablespoon of shredded cheddar and ½ tablespoon of diced green onion into the center of each lined muffin cup.
  • 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.
  • Carefully divide the egg mixture evenly among the 6 prepared muffin cups, filling nearly to the top.
  • Bake for 15–18 minutes, until the eggs are set and slightly puffed.
  • Remove from the oven and drizzle with additional Buffalo sauce if desired, then serve warm.

Notes

  • Muffins are easiest to remove when slightly cooled for a few minutes.
  • Use reduced-fat cheese as listed or regular cheddar if preferred.
  • Adjust Buffalo sauce to taste for milder or spicier muffins.
