Ingredients

6 slices low-carb bread

6 eggs

2 tablespoons reduced-fat milk

½ cup baby spinach, finely chopped

¼ cup diced cherry tomatoes

¼ cup grated reduced-fat cheese (cheddar or tasty)

Salt & pepper to taste

1 tablespoon olive oil

Method

  1. Preheat oven to 180°C
  2. Remove crusts from bread. Lightly flatten each slice with a rolling pin.
  3. Brush muffin tin with olive oil.
  4. Press each slice into the muffin holes to form a “nest.”
  5. Pre-bake nests for 5–7 minutes until slightly firm (prevents sogginess).
  6. Filling: Whisk eggs with milk, salt, and pepper. Stir in spinach, capsicum, and cheese.
  7. Fill nests evenly with egg mixture.
  8. Bake 12–15 minutes or until set.
  9. Cool slightly before removing.
