A short while ago I developed (quite by accident) a recipe for eggs. To be honest, it's more of a method of "flavoring" eggs rather than a complicated list of instructions. Still, Susan and I immediately fell in love with the flavor of eggs prepared this way ... and Mrs. insisted that I share the recipe with you.I hope you enjoy it as much as we do.
Mr.'s Favorite Eggs
Ingredients:
- Two cage-free (or free range) eggs
- Sea salt
- Black pepper
- Plain soy milk (Silk is our brand of choice)
- Light (or fat free) Monterey Jack shredded cheese
- Jalapeno (green) hot sauce
- Roasted garlic hot sauce
Crack open the cage-free eggs into a mixing bowl and discard the shells (duh). Add a dash of sea salt and black pepper. Add 1/8th cup of plain soy milk. Add 1/8th or 1/4th cup of light Monterey jack shredded cheese (depending on how cheesy you want your eggs to be). Add one teaspoon of jalapeno hot sauce and one teaspoon of roasted garlic hot sauce.
Scramble all ingredients and cook in a non-stick skillet over medium heat for 2-3 minutes. Serves two.
We usually serve eggs with fruit and whole grain toast for a healthy breakfast. Enjoy.
Be careful about the use of light cheese in the recipe. A single serving size is usually only 1/4th cup with 80-100 calories and 4-5g of fat per serving depending on the brand. On the other hand, fat free cheese is only 45 calories and zero fat. We prefer cage-free eggs because of the taste, but your choice of eggs is up to you. Nutrition information on eggs varies depending on the source, but a single egg usually contains 75-80 calories and 4.5-5g of fat ... plus 15 percent of your daily recommended allowance of protein and 17 vitamins and minerals.
Just be aware that eating too many eggs and too much cheese can be bad for your cholesterol levels and therefore bad for your heart. All good things should be eaten in moderation.

I like this idea, but I'm trying to keep my cholesterol in check. Do you think this recipe would work with something like Egg Beaters?
I don't see why this wouldn't work with Egg Beaters ... or if you removed the regular egg yolks and used multiple egg whites.
The recipe here is all about helping to add more flavor without adding too much in the way of calories and fat.
As I mentioned, Mrs. and I just have one cage free egg each because we like the taste. We also usually have eggs only once or twice a week.
The latest research says that eggs do not raise bad cholesterol levels in otherwise healthy people. I personally eat about 15 eggs per week-yes whole eggs and my HDL levels are very high (that's the good cholesterol) and my bad ones very low. We need to get away from the processed food thing (like egg beaters) and get back to eating whole, real foods like meats, fish, fruits and vegetables, nuts seeds etc. Stop eating processed rubbish before you even think about accusing real foods of being unhealthy.
I have clients who say "fruit-don't you know how much sugar that contains!" Well duh, but they have no problem having a 'cheat' meal of chocolate or biscuits. Go Figure????
I have all my clients trying to maintain a mostly real food diet. That combined with my high intensity style workouts always results in weight loss and much better health. Give it a try. For heaps of free workouts and other info visit http://www.fitterfasteronline.com/
goodluck to everyone trying to improve their health
