Ingredients

  • Nonstick cooking spray

  • 10 slices lower sodium, less fat bacon

  • 2 cups chopped cooking apples

  • ½ cup chopped onion

  • 1 10-ounce sweet potato, peeled and cut into 1/4-inch pieces

  • 2 teaspoons snipped fresh thyme or 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme, crushed

  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper

  • 1 ½ cups refrigerated or frozen egg product, thawed, or 6 eggs, lightly beaten

  • ¾ cup fat-free milk

  • ¾ cup shredded reduced-fat cheddar cheese (3 ounces)

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Coat twelve 2 1/2-inch muffin cups with cooking spray. Cut four of the bacon slices crosswise into thirds; chop remaining bacon.

  2. In a 12-inch skillet cook large bacon pieces over medium until crisp. Drain bacon on paper towels; discard drippings. Add chopped bacon, apples, and onion to skillet. Cook over medium 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add sweet potato; cook 10 minutes or just until potato is tender, stirring frequently. Stir in thyme and pepper.

  3. Divide potato mixture among prepared muffin cups. In a medium bowl combine egg and milk; pour over potato mixture (cups will be full). Top with cheese.

  4. Bake 25 minutes or until puffed and a knife comes out clean. Cool in cups 5 minutes. Remove from cups. Top with large bacon pieces. Serve warm.

Nutrition information is calculated by a registered dietitian using an ingredient database but should be considered an estimate.

* Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
