These easy-to-make sausage egg muffins are perfect for a healthy breakfast or meal prep! Packed with protein and flavor, they're a quick and delicious way to start your day.
Equipment
- Large skillet
- 12-cup muffin tin
Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground Italian sausage
- 3/4 cup Shredded Cheddar cheese
- 8 large Eggs
- 1/4 cup Heavy cream or your favorite milk for a lighter option
- 3/4 teaspoon Sea salt
- 1/2 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
- Get your oven ready for baking by preheating it to a warm 400°F (204°C).
- In a large skillet, cook your ground Italian sausage over medium-high heat. Break it apart with a wooden spoon as it cooks until it's nicely browned, which usually takes about 8-10 minutes.
- While the sausage is cooking, prepare a 12-cup muffin tin. You can line each cup with parchment paper or silicone liners, or simply give them a quick spray with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Once the sausage is browned, divide it evenly among the prepared muffin cups – about 3 tablespoons for each. Then, sprinkle a tablespoon of shredded cheese on top of the sausage in every cup.
- In a separate large bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream (or milk), sea salt, and black pepper until everything is well combined and slightly foamy.
- Carefully pour the egg mixture into each muffin cup, filling them over the sausage and cheese. Allow it to settle for a few seconds, then top off with a bit more if there's room.
- Bake your sausage egg muffins in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the eggs are completely set and look lightly golden. Let them cool slightly before enjoying!
