Ingredients
– 1 pound breakfast sausage
– 24 large eggs
– 1 medium chopped onion
– 1 medium diced red bell pepper
– 1 teaspoon salt
– 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
– 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
– 1 1/2 cups cheddar cheese, divided
Instructions
1-Cook 1 pound of breakfast sausage in a large skillet over medium heat until itβs fully cooked, then drain and set it aside. This keeps the fat in check and brings out the best flavors.
2-In a large bowl, whisk 24 large eggs until theyβre well beaten. Add 1 medium chopped onion, 1 medium diced red bell pepper, 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, the cooked sausage, and 1 cup of cheddar cheese. Stir everything together gently for an even mix.
3-Fill each muffin cup with about 1/3 cup of the egg mixture, leaving a little room at the top. Then, sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of cheddar cheese on top for that gooey finish.
4-Bake the muffins for 20 to 25 minutes, or until theyβre set and lightly golden. The total prep time is around 10 minutes, with baking taking the rest, so youβll have fresh muffins in no time.
Notes
π³ Using a silicone muffin pan makes it easier to remove the egg muffins without sticking.
βοΈ To reheat frozen muffins, microwave at half power for one minute wrapped in a slightly damp paper towel to keep moisture.
π« Avoid paper muffin cups as they tend to stick to the egg mixture and make removal difficult.
