Ingredients

Nonstick cooking spray

4 slices nitrate-free turkey bacon

3 large egg whites

1 large egg

1/2 cup chopped, low-sodium chickpeas, rinsed and drained

1/4 cup nonfat (skim) milk

4 teaspoons grated Parmesan cheese

Preparation

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Spray a baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray; place bacon on prepared baking sheet and transfer to oven. Bake until crisp, 10 to 15 minutes.

Meanwhile, in a small bowl, whisk together egg whites, egg, chickpeas, and milk. Coat 4 cups in a 6-cup standard muffin tin with nonstick cooking spray. Divide egg mixture evenly among prepared cups. Remove bacon from oven and cut with kitchen shears or thinly slice into 1/2-inch pieces. Sprinkle bacon over eggs and top each with 1 teaspoon Parmesan.

Transfer to oven and bake until eggs puff and are cooked through, 12 to 15 minutes. Remove egg muffins from muffin pan and let cool slightly before serving.
