Better’n Eggs?
I never really read or looked into anything other than regular eggs. I found out that Crystal Farms Better’n Eggs and All Whites are much healthier for you. They are fat free and cholesterol free. They’re made from real eggs, but only the white part is used. I’ve read recipes that ask for egg whites, it always seemed so hard to separate them, now I don’t have too!
When visiting my mother, I noticed she has eggs every morning. But she should be using All Whites. Maybe I’ll get her some for Christmas!! LOL
Plus they come in these cute cartons for no mess! Eggs are very good for you too! They give you lots of protein to help keep you active throughout the day. Check out the recipes below and check out the ones on their website!

Does anyone in your family have Type 2 Diabetes?
Wonton Wrappers:
Preparation: 25 minutes
Time-To-Table: 40 minutes
Serves: 12
Ingredients:
•24 wonton wrappers*
•nonstick cooking spray
•2 strips bacon
•1/2 cup grape tomatoes, chopped
•1 teaspoon chopped fresh basil**
•1 cup AllWhites®
•1/2 cup fat-free half and half
•1/4 teaspoon salt
•1/2 cup Crystal Farms® Finely Shredded Sharp Cheddar Cheese
Instructions:
Heat oven to 350°F. Spray one side of each wonton wrapper with nonstick cooking spray. Press each wrapper in to cups of miniature muffin pan, spray side down. Once all wrappers are in place; spray inside of each wrapper with additional nonstick cooking spray; set aside.
In small nonstick skillet cook bacon until crisp. Drain grease; finely chop bacon. In small bowl stir together cooked bacon, tomatoes and basil. Divide mixture evenly into each wonton cup.
In small bowl stir together AllWhites, fat-free half and half and salt. Carefully pour into each wonton cup. Sprinkle with cheese.
Bake for 13 to 15 minutes or until eggs are almost set. Serve warm or at room temperature.
Tips:
*Wonton wrappers are usually found in the refrigerated produce section of the grocery store. Wrappers are typically 3 1/4 inches square.
**Substitute 1/2 teaspoon dried basil
Customize this appetizer by adding 1/2 cup finely chopped mushrooms to each mini cup. Any variety will work. Also, Better’n Eggs can be used as a substitute for AllWhites.

The wonton wrappers look so good, will have to try this recipe!
I was diagnosed as Type 1 about 6 years ago. It’s a daily battle to keep everything in order for my health. I am working to get back on track and this recipe sounds like something I need to try! Thanks for posting this.
I’ve been using a lot more egg whites recently!
I actually really like these. I won’t eat regular eggs, but I will eat these. 🙂

we do have this disease in our family and they still do not eat right
This disease runs high in my family. I try my best to watch my diet.
My aunt, cousin, father and brother in law have diabetes. I have never had better’n eggs before, I like that they come in a carton.
My mom has diabetes, I should pass this along.
