Changing up the breakfast routine

As the weather has gotten colder, I was in search of warm (and quick) breakfast ideas.  I really enjoy Dunkin' Donuts' veggie egg white flatbread.  I just didn't want to keep spending the money on it and figured I could make my own with some experimentation.  I baked the egg whites so they were nice little patties and froze them once they cooled.  So I just take them out of the freezer, pop it in the microwave and let it cook while I finish getting ready for work.

Dunkin' Donuts Copy Cat Egg White Flatbread Sandwiches (slight variation)

Ingredients:
- 12 egg whites (if you use the carton like I do, just follow the equivalency chart on the container.)
- Garlic salt (3 good shakes of the container)
- Pepper (I like a lot so I put enough to cover the egg white mixture in the bowl)
- Veggies of your choice (I just used green and red peppers, but next time I'll add mushrooms.

Stir the ingredients around really well.
Pour even amounts into a jumbo muffin tin.
Bake at 350 degrees for about 40 minutes.  (I flipped mine half-way through just so they weren't so wet.  I like my eggs on the drier side.

I toasted a light mulit-grain English Muffin (fewer points plus values than regular versions) and put a slice of cheese on the egg white patty.  YUM!







Now the overnight oats came about when I was sick of all the cereal.  So, even though this is a cold breakfast, it's nice to add a bit of variety into the normal morning mix.  I've seen them assembled in mason jars and the cuteness/presentation factor just adds the desirability of these morning parfait-like treats.  PARFAITS!  Everybody loves parfaits. 

Here are the links for these and they vary slightly.  I have had them all and they all are good.
