    Sausage and Cheese Breakfast Cups

    I decided to cook myself a special Sunday breakfast and made the Sausage and Cheese Breakfast Cups from the South Beach Diet cookbook. I did make a few modifications, such as using scallion as opposed to regular onion. I don't care for the sweetness of regular onion with the eggs. I also halved the amount of mushrooms, and I'm glad I did because the batter was nearly to the tops of each cup. I also ended up baking them for 5 extra minutes because when I inserted a knife into them after 20 minutes they were still runny on the inside. After the extra 5 minutes, they had puffed up from the tops of the cups and looked like little souffles! The good thing about this recipe is that you can make extra to eat over the next few days; just cool to room temperature, then refrigerate in a sealed container.
