OMAHA, Neb., Dec. 8, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Egg Beaters is
bringing a fresh idea to everyday breakfast routines with new Egg
Beaters Florentine. Now a tasty, Italian-inspired meal is as easy
as shake, pour, and scramble. Egg Beaters Florentine is the newest
variety to join the line of flavored Egg Beaters and it makes a
delicious entry. With a blend of spinach, tomato, onion, mozzarella
cheese and Italian herbs, Egg Beaters Florentine is sure to spice
up your everyday healthy breakfast routine.
Like all Egg Beaters varieties, our Eggs Florentine is made of
real, all-natural egg whites and is the perfect solution for anyone
looking to eat a filling breakfast without the extra cholesterol,
fat or calories of shell eggs. In fact, one serving of our Eggs
Florentine contains 4 grams of filling lean protein for only half
the calories of a shell egg.
"Consumers enjoy new variations of everyday foods, and current
trends show Italian flavors are becoming more popular at
breakfast," says Jill Dexter, Egg
Beaters Brand Manager for ConAgra Foods. "For those who want to
experience rustic Italian taste for fewer calories than an Italian
breakfast made of real eggs, Egg Beaters Florentine provides a
healthy and convenient solution in just one easy pour."
Egg Beaters Florentine provides a fresh take on eggs and is
delicious in a variety of quick and tasty recipes, such as a
spinach frittata or Italian breakfast sandwich. For a savory brunch
entree, try using Florentine to make Mini Mushroom Egg Bakes.
Simply line muffin tins with thin slices of ham and fill with
sauteed mushrooms and onions, cheddar cheese and Egg Beaters
Florentine. Bake for 20 minutes at 375 degrees for a delicious
breakfast treat.
Egg Beaters Florentine is available in a 15-ounce resealable
pour-spout container nationwide as of mid-December, 2011. Each
serving of Eggs Florentine, made of all-natural egg whites,
contains 4g of protein, less than 5mg of cholesterol, less than
0.5g of fat and only 30 calories. Additionally, Egg Beaters
Florentine is gluten-free. Suggested retail price is $2.99 per 15-ounce carton. Florentine joins a
family of flavorful Egg Beaters' varieties, including Original,
Garden Vegetable, Southwestern and Egg Beaters 100% Egg Whites.
As part of any well-balanced diet, Egg Beaters combine the
virtue of protein and the pleasure of great taste. Egg
Beaters®, America's convenient egg white solution since
1972, is a great and easy way to make eggs a part of your healthy
diet. Egg Beaters® have almost as much protein as shell
eggs, contain vitamins and nutrients, but without all of the fat,
calories or cholesterol.
