Give Your Mornings a Kick

Start off the year, and your mornings, right with this delicious, easy breakfast, submitted by Kim from SimplyStarving.com. The Laughing Cow® gives these scrambled eggs a creamy flavor and a bit of a spicy kick. Combine with whole grain toast and a glass of orange juice to round out your meal.

Creamy Scrambled Eggs with a Kick

Ingredients (makes one serving):
4 whole egg whites
1 teaspoon dijon mustard
1 whole wedge of The Laughing Cow® Light Queso Fresco & Chipotle
pepper to taste

Directions:
In a small bowl, mix together egg whites and mustard. Gently break The Laughing Cow® cheese wedge in pieces and add to the egg mixture.

Heat up a small skillet to medium heat and spray with cooking spray. Add in egg mixture and scramble until eggs are cooked through and The Laughing Cow® cheese is melted and evenly distributed.

Once cooked, add pepper (and salt if needed) to taste.
