Sausage egg muffins
If breakfast is the most important meal of the day then you need these breakfast egg muffins.
They’re a great idea for breakfast, as a morning snack or for brunch. They also are perfect for school mornings when things can get a little hectic and you don’t have time to make oatmeal or french toast.

How to make sausage egg muffins
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and spray a muffin pan with a generous coating of non-stick cooking spray.
Add sausage crumbles to the bottom of the muffin tin.
Dice vegetables and place them in the muffin pan.
Whisk eggs together.
Pour egg mixture into the muffin pan on top of the vegetables.
Add shredded cheese to top.
Bake for 20-25 minutes until the knife comes out clean from the center of the muffin.
Oven temps can vary, so check muffins at 20 minutes for doneness.
Note: While the egg muffins are baking, they will rise. Once they are removed from the oven the air will release and they will sink back down.
Storing and Freezing
Storing: Store cooked and cooled egg muffins in an airtight container in the fridge for 2-3 days. Reheat in the microwave for about 1-2 minutes.
Freezing: To freeze, cover each muffin in plastic wrap tightly then add to a freezer bag or airtight container for up to 2 months. Let thaw completely in the refrigerator overnight before reheating and serving.
