They are one of my favorite post weight loss surgery meals with a scoop of my Italian Bean Salad. If you aren't into "fungus" check out my other bites below.
Shelly's Mushroom Bites
5 Green Onions, diced
8 Mushrooms, diced (I used a combo of Crimini and White)
1 teaspoon Butter
1/2 teaspoon dried Thyme
1/2 teaspoon Kosher Salt
a few twists of Black Pepper
1/3 cup Tomato, diced (I used S&W canned, drained)
5 Eggs, beaten
1/2 cup Gruyere, shredded (If you can't find Gruyere substitute Swiss)
1/2 cup Parmesan, grated
Preheat oven to 350 F. Saute onions and mushrooms in butter till golden. Set aside to cool.
Mix all ingredients together. Be sure veggie mixture has cooled slightly before adding to egg mixture. Spoon (I use a small ice cream scoop) into a lightly greased mini muffin tin. Bake for 30 minutes or until centers are firm. Makes 24.
Serve as a weight loss surgery friendly appetizer, light meal with a salad, or breakfast. These particular bites are great if you have vegetarian friends coming over.

Has anyone used Egg Beaters for these instead of Eggs? The Dieticians told us to limit our whole eggs to 2 a week?

I just took these out of the oven and they look great! I really needed breakfasts I could make in advance, thanks! (I'm pre-op, but the doctor has me on low carb, so these are ideal.)

Do these hold up well if frozen for use later?
Yes they freeze well. Defrost in fridge. Reheat in oven or toaster oven.
