Ingredients
- 4 eggs
- 1/2 cup chicken breast, boneless and skinless, cooked
- 1/2 cup carrots, shredded
- 2/3 cup alfalfa sprouts
- 8 cilantro, sprigs
- 8 yellow cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1 egg
- 1 tablespoon milk, low-fat
- 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon, ground
- 1/4 tablespoon butter, unsalted
- 2 slices bread, whole wheat
- 1 cherry tomato, halved
- 2 blueberries
- 1 apple, peeled and cored
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Oil 4 muffin cups and place in a muffin tin pan.
- In a small bowl, mix one egg with a fork. Pour the egg into a muffin cup. Repeat with the next three muffin cups.
- Place muffin pan in the oven for 4 minutes. Remove from the oven and add ¼ of chicken, carrots, sprouts, cilantro, and tomatoes into each egg.
- Then place muffin pan back into oven and cook for another 15 minutes. Take out and let cool for 3 minutes; cover to keep warm.
- Meanwhile, mix the remaining egg in a bowl with milk and cinnamon. In a large nonstick skillet, melt the butter on low heat.
- Use a flower-shaped cookie cutter to cut 2 flower shapes out of each slice of bread. Dip and cover the bread flowers in the egg mixture. Add to the pan and cook for 2 minutes on each side or until golden brown.
- Transfer to plates. Add a halved cherry red tomato in the center of 2 of the French toast flowers and a blueberry in the center of the other 2 French toast flowers.
- Cut the apple into spirals or cut around as if peeling to make the bird’s nests out of the apple. Top each bird’s nest with blueberries.
