Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 large eggs
- 0.5 pound ground sausage
- 1 cup cheddar cheese
- 0.5 cup bell peppers
- 0.25 cup green onions
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 12-cup muffin pan with olive oil or non-stick spray.
Heat a skillet over medium heat and cook the ground sausage for 5-7 minutes, breaking it into small crumbles as it cooks. Once fully cooked, remove it from heat and set aside to cool slightly.
Dice bell peppers and finely chop green onions.
In a large mixing bowl, crack the eggs and whisk until fully beaten.
Add the cooked sausage, cheddar cheese, diced bell peppers, green onions, salt, and black pepper to the beaten eggs. Mix everything together until well combined.
Spoon the mixture evenly into the greased muffin pan, filling each cup about 3/4 full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the egg muffins are set and lightly golden around the edges.
Remove from the oven and let the muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes before carefully removing them.
Serve immediately, or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Reheat in the microwave for 20-30 seconds before serving.
