INGREDIENTS:
Nonstick vegetable-oil cooking spray
2 4 ounce cartons frozen egg substitute, defrosted
½ cup reduced-fat milk
½ cup Fiber-sure fiber supplement
½ teaspoon freshly ground pepper

2 tablespoons fresh basil, chopped

1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.

What is not healthy about eggs….

 
Comment by DC

The egg yolk is relatively high in cholesterol, while the whole egg (average size) has about 70 calories. On the other hand, the egg substitutes can be cholesterol free or low-cholesterol depending on the brand and have only 30 calories per serving. The taste is comparable and you get more food (and therefore more protein from more eggs) for less calories.
