Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground breakfast sausage
- 6 whole Eggs
- 1 medium Red bell pepper
- 1 medium Green bell pepper
- 1 small Yellow onion
- 1 cup Shredded Mexican cheese blend
- 1 small Jalapeño
- 2 tablespoons Cilantro
- 2 tablespoons Milk
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 0.25 teaspoon Chili powder
- 1 as needed Cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly spray a standard 12-cup muffin tin with cooking spray.
Divide the ground breakfast sausage into 12 equal portions. Press each portion into a muffin tin, shaping it to fully line the bottom and sides of each cup to form a 'sausage cup.'
Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 10 minutes. The sausage will shrink slightly and release some fat during this time; carefully remove the tin and drain excess grease if needed.
While the sausage cups are baking, dice the red and green bell peppers, small onion, and jalapeño. Finely chop the cilantro.
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, black pepper, ground cumin, and chili powder until well combined.
Stir in the diced bell peppers, onion, jalapeño, cilantro, and 3/4 cup of shredded Mexican cheese blend into the egg mixture.
Pour the egg mixture evenly into the pre-baked sausage cups, filling each about 3/4 full. Be careful not to overfill.
Top each cup with a sprinkle of the remaining Mexican cheese blend.
Bake for an additional 12-15 minutes, or until the eggs are fully set and the tops are golden and bubbly.
Allow the Tex Mex Breakfast Sausage Cups to cool for 2-3 minutes before carefully removing them from the muffin tin.
Serve warm, garnished with extra cilantro if desired. Enjoy!
