Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground sausage
- 6 large Eggs
- 0.25 cup Milk
- 1 cup Cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1 medium Bell pepper, finely diced
- 3 stalks Green onions, chopped
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 can Nonstick cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Spray a standard 12-cup muffin tin with nonstick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground sausage until browned and fully cooked, breaking it into small crumbles. Drain excess grease and set aside to cool slightly.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and black pepper until fully combined.
Evenly distribute the cooked sausage into the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 1/3 of the way full.
Sprinkle the diced bell pepper and green onions evenly on top of the sausage in each muffin cup.
Pour the egg mixture into the muffin cups, filling them about 2/3 of the way full. Be careful not to overfill.
Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese on top of each cup.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the eggs are fully set and the tops are golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let the breakfast cups cool in the muffin tin for 5 minutes before carefully removing them with a spatula or butter knife.
Serve warm, or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the microwave for a quick breakfast on the go.
