Breakfast in a Cup



Recipe By Dyanne-CL BB

Serving Size : 12

Categories : rice and grains



Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

3 cups brown rice -- cooked

1 cup cheddar cheese -- shredded

1 can green chiles (4 oz) -- drained

2 eggs -- beaten

1/2 teaspoon cumin -- ground

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

scallions -- optional



Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Coat 12 normal muffin cups liberally with nonstick cooking spray.

Combine all ingredients in a large bowl.

Divide mixture evenly into muffin cups.

Bake for 25-30 minutes (or more -- I like them crispy on top so I cook for up to 40 minutes), or until set. Let the muffins sit for several minutes to cool down, or they will break apart when you remove them.
