Ingredients:
- 6 large eggs
- 1 cup cooked sausage, crumbled (breakfast sausage or any preferred variety)
- 1/2 cup bell peppers, diced (red, green, or a mix)
- 1/4 cup onion, finely chopped
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or cheese of choice)
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- Cooking spray or muffin liners
Instructions:
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 12-cup muffin tin with cooking spray or line with muffin liners.
- Prepare the Filling: In a large bowl, whisk the eggs until well combined. Stir in the cooked sausage, bell peppers, onion, cheese, salt, pepper, and garlic powder until evenly mixed.
- Fill the Muffin Tin: Pour the egg mixture into the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 2/3 full. You can sprinkle a little extra cheese on top for added flavor if desired.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the muffins are set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Cool and Serve: Let the muffins cool in the pan for about 5 minutes, then carefully remove them and transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Storage: Enjoy immediately, or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week. These muffins can also be frozen for up to three months—simply reheat in the microwave or oven when ready to eat.
- Enjoy: Serve warm, and savor the delightful combination of flavors in your homemade sausage egg muffins!
