  • Author: Stephanie
  • Total Time: 30 minutes
  • Yield: 12 1x

Ingredients

Scale

1 lb (450g) breakfast sausage (mild or spicy)

8 large eggs

¼ cup (60ml) milk

1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese

¼ tsp garlic powder (optional)

¼ tsp onion powder (optional)

Salt & black pepper to taste

Cooking spray or muffin liners


Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 12-cup muffin tin or line with silicone liners.

  • Cook sausage in a skillet over medium heat until browned. Drain excess grease and let cool slightly.

  • In a bowl, whisk eggs, milk, salt, pepper, and seasonings.

  • Divide cooked sausage evenly among muffin cups.

  • Sprinkle cheddar cheese over sausage.

  • Pour egg mixture evenly into each cup (about ¾ full).

  • Bake for 20–22 minutes until eggs are set.

  • Let cool 5 minutes before removing from pan.

Notes

 Make them low-carb/keto by skipping milk (use heavy cream instead).

 Add diced bell peppers, spinach, or green onions for extra flavor.

 Store in fridge up to 4 days or freeze up to 2 months.

 Reheat in microwave 20–30 seconds.

 Use turkey sausage for a lighter option.
