Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 pound breakfast sausage
  • 8 large eggs
  • 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or your preference)
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional: Diced vegetables (like bell peppers or onions) for added flavor.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large skillet, cook the breakfast sausage over medium heat until browned and crispy. Stir occasionally to crumble the sausage while it cooks. Once done, drain any excess grease.
  3. In a bowl, whisk together the large eggs, milk, salt, and pepper until well combined.
  4. Stir in your choice of shredded cheese and any diced vegetables if using.
  5. In a greased muffin tin, distribute the cooked sausage evenly among the cups. Pour the egg mixture over the sausage, filling each cup about three-quarters full.
  6. Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the eggs are set and the tops are golden.
  7. Once baked, allow the muffin cups to cool slightly before removing them from the tin.

Notes

These muffin cups are versatile. You can use different types of cheese or add vegetables based on your preference. They can be stored in the refrigerator for up to four days.
