HEART-HEALTHY GREEN EGGS AND HAM ON THE GO

A heart-healthy diet is low in sodium. Given that ham is very high in sodium, it should be used sparingly or replaced with a lower-sodium protein substitute. This easy recipe can help make that possible.

Ingredients
32 oz. liquid egg whites
1 medium avocado
1 tsp. pepper
4 oz. low-sodium, low-fat ham, diced into small cubes

Directions
1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Place six 8-ounce disposable aluminum baking cups on a baking sheet.
2. In a medium bowl, briskly whisk together the egg whites, avocado, and pepper until they are very well combined and have a creamy texture.
3. Put half the ham in the baking cups. Pour in the egg white mixture. Top each cup with the remaining ham.
4. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the tops are lightly browned and the eggs are set. Remove the baking sheet from the oven. Let stand to cool.
