Wholesome Sausage & Egg Muffins
Quick and easy breakfast muffins packed with sausage, egg, hash browns, and cheese, perfect for meal prep.
Equipment
- Mini Muffin Tin
- Skillet
Ingredients
- 3 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons milk (your preference)
- 0.25 cup frozen hash browns
- 0.33 cup spicy breakfast sausage crumbled
- 0.33 cup white onion finely chopped
- 0.33 cup sharp shredded cheddar cheese
- salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
- additional cheese for garnish (optional)
- additional sausage for garnish (optional)
- fresh parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Prep Your Oven & Pan: Get your oven heating to 350°F (177°C) and lightly spray a mini muffin tin with nonstick cooking spray.
- Cook the Sausage: In a skillet over medium heat, brown your crumbled sausage until it's fully cooked through. Drain any excess fat from the pan, then set the sausage aside.
- Sauté the Onion: Using just a touch of the remaining sausage drippings (or a tiny bit of olive oil if needed), sauté the chopped white onion in the same skillet until it becomes soft and translucent.
- Layer the Base: Distribute the frozen hash browns evenly into the bottom of each mini muffin cup in your prepared tin.
- Mix Everything Up: In a large bowl, gently whisk the eggs and milk until combined. Stir in the cooked sausage, sautéed onion, shredded cheddar cheese, and a pinch of salt and pepper.
- Assemble the Muffins: Carefully spoon the egg mixture over the hash browns in each muffin cup, filling them almost to the top.
- Bake to Perfection: Place the muffin tin on the middle rack of your oven and bake for about 20 minutes. For an extra touch, sprinkle with additional cheese or sausage during the last few minutes of baking. Garnish with fresh parsley if you like before serving!
