Scrambled Egg Muffins

We like to eat eggs in the morning. Actually, Benjamin and Joshua really prefer them, I just like to eat a protein bar and coffee. Monday mornings often start with a fussy two year old and two tired adults due to our Sunday Marathon (as i like to call it), so with great effort to keep things simple I decided to try these muffins. I made the muffins Sunday night (tonight) and popped them in the fridge. They tasted great. I think i need to tweak the recipe to decrease our cholesterol and fat intake -- possibly by simply using more egg whites or egg beaters.
