Easy Back To School Breakfast Ideas With Chef Marci Sheinbaum

Personal chef Marci Sheinbaum joined The Nine to demonstrate two simple breakfast ideas as the kids head back to school. To make the egg white bites you will need 1 16 oz. Carton egg whites, ½ cup full fat cottage cheese, ½ cup shredded Monterey jack cheese, mozzarella cheese or cheddar cheese, ¼ cup crumbled feta cheese, 1 cup spinach, broccoli or peppers- finely chopped, and ¼ teaspoon sea salt. Instructions: Preheat oven to 350°F and line a muffin tin with silicone liners or spray a silicone muffin pan well with cooking spray. Add egg whites, cottage cheese, shredded cheese, feta cheese, salt and pepper to a blender. Blend for 30 seconds, mixture will look smooth but it's okay if there are still some small cheese chunks. In a small mixing bowl combine the veggies of your choice. Divide the veggie mixture between the 12 muffin cups then pour the egg mixture into the cups filling each cup about ¾ full. Place the silicone muffin tray on an empty rimmed baking sheet, filling it about halfway up with boiling water. Carefully transfer the pan to the oven. Place muffin pan on the middle rack in the oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, until they are fully set. Remove from the oven and let cool for about 5 minutes before removing the egg white bites.

Breakfast Ideas - AOL

Breakfast is the most important meal of the day. We hear it all the time. But how often do we treat it as such? Put as much inspiration and attention into breakfast as you do on dinner with a tasty, developed meal rather than just a breakfast bar. Only have time for eggs? Spice them up with peppers, cheese, and onions, add some toast, and heat up those leftover potatoes for a start that will keep you energized and satisfied all morning.
