Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 eggs
- 250 grams breakfast sausage
- 100 grams shredded cheddar cheese
- 60 ml milk
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 50 grams diced bell peppers (optional)
- 2 tablespoons chopped green onions (optional)
- 1 tablespoon cooking spray or oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 12-cup muffin tin with cooking spray or oil.
In a medium skillet, cook the breakfast sausage over medium heat until browned and fully cooked, about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess grease and set aside to cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and black pepper until fully combined.
Stir in the cooked sausage, shredded cheddar cheese, and any optional ingredients like diced bell peppers or green onions.
Evenly divide the egg mixture into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 3/4 full.
Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the muffins are set and lightly golden on top.
Remove the muffins from the oven and allow them to cool in the tin for 5 minutes before carefully removing them using a knife or spatula.
Serve warm or let them cool completely before storing in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days, or freeze for longer storage. Reheat in the microwave for about 30 seconds before serving.
