Ingredients
Scale
Meat
- ½ lb bulk pork sausage
Egg Mixture
- 12 large eggs
- ½ cup chopped onion
- ½ cup chopped green bell pepper (or to taste)
- ½ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp black pepper
- ¼ tsp garlic powder
- ½ cup shredded Cheddar cheese
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 12-cup muffin tin or line it with silicone muffin liners to prevent sticking.
- Cook Sausage: Heat a skillet over medium heat and cook the bulk pork sausage until it’s browned and fully cooked through. Once done, drain any excess grease from the skillet.
- Whisk Eggs: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the 12 large eggs along with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder until well combined. Then fold in the chopped onion, chopped green bell pepper, cooked sausage, and shredded cheddar cheese, making sure all ingredients are evenly mixed.
- Fill Muffin Tin: Evenly distribute the egg mixture into the prepared muffin tin cups, filling each one approximately ¾ full to allow for expansion while baking.
- Bake: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 18 to 20 minutes. The egg muffins are ready when the eggs have set completely and the tops are lightly golden.
- Cool & Serve: Remove the muffin tin from the oven and let the egg cups cool for a few minutes. Then gently remove them from the tin and serve warm, or store in the refrigerator for up to 4 days for an easy, make-ahead breakfast option.
Notes
- You can substitute bulk pork sausage with turkey sausage for a leaner option.
- Feel free to add other vegetables like mushrooms or spinach to boost nutrition and flavor.
- Make sure not to overfill the muffin cups to prevent overflow during baking.
- These muffin cups reheat well in the microwave for about 30 seconds.
- For a dairy-free option, omit the cheddar cheese or use a dairy-free cheese alternative.
