Savory Breakfast Egg Muffins

Mandy Applegate
There’s nothing like starting your morning with a warm bite of savory breakfast egg muffins. These little baked gems have all the good stuff we love in a Southern breakfast such as eggs, sausage, cheese, and just the right amount of veggies. They’re easy to make ahead too, which makes mornings a whole lot smoother.

Equipment

Ingredients
  

  • 6 eggs
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1/2 cup red bell pepper diced
  • 1/2 cup sausage cooked and crumbled
  • 1/4 cup chopped spinach
  • 1/3 cup cheddar cheese shredded
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 pinch black pepper

Instructions
 

  • Set your oven to 350°F and grease to a 6-cup muffin tin to prevent sticking.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until smooth.
  • Stir in the salt, pepper, and garlic powder to season your egg mixture.
  • Add the diced red bell pepper, cooked sausage, chopped spinach, and shredded cheddar cheese. Mix everything until evenly combined.
  • Pour the egg mixture evenly into the muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full.
  • Place the muffin tin in the oven and bake for 18 to 22 minutes, or until the eggs are set and no longer jiggly in the center.
  • Let the muffins cool slightly before removing them from the tin. Serve warm or store in the fridge for later.

Notes

  • Add different veggies like mushrooms, onions, or tomatoes to suit your taste.
  • Swap the sausage for bacon or turkey sausage for a leaner option.
