Prep:
10 minutes
Cook:
20 minutes
Ingredients:
8 square wonton wrappers
2 slices turkey bacon or center-cut bacon
1 wedge The Laughing Cow Light Original Swiss cheese
2 tbsp. light/reduced-fat cream cheese
1 cup chopped mushrooms
1 cup (about 8 large) egg whites or fat-free liquid egg substitute
1/3 cup chopped scallions
1/4 tsp. salt
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray 8 cups of a 12-cup muffin pan with nonstick spray.
Press wonton wrappers into the 8 cups of the muffin pan. Lightly spray with nonstick spray. Bake until lightly browned, about 8 minutes.
Meanwhile, prepare bacon according to package directions, either in the microwave or in a skillet sprayed with nonstick spray. Once cool enough to handle, crumble or chop.
In a small bowl, mix cheese wedge with cream cheese until smooth and uniform.
Bring a skillet sprayed with nonstick spray to medium heat. Cook and stir mushrooms for 2 minutes.
Add egg, scallions, salt, and cheese mixture to the skillet. Cook and scramble until fully cooked, about 4 minutes.
Remove from heat, and stir in bacon.
Just before serving, evenly distribute mixture among the wonton cups.
