Ingredients
1 lb ground breakfast sausage
6 large eggs
1/2 cup milk
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon onion powder
1/4 cup chopped green onions
cooking spray or butter for greasing the muffin tin
Instructions
1. Cook the sausage in a skillet over medium heat until browned. Drain and let cool.
2. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 12-cup muffin tin or use silicone liners.
3. In a mixing bowl, whisk eggs and milk until smooth. Add salt, pepper, garlic, and onion powder.
4. Stir in the cooked sausage, cheddar, mozzarella, and green onions.
5. Divide the mixture evenly into the muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.
6. Bake for 20–25 minutes until golden and set.
7. Cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then remove and serve or store.
Notes
Cool the sausage before mixing it with eggs to avoid cooking the eggs prematurely.
Grease the muffin tin well or use liners for easy release.
For added flavor and color, toss in chopped bell peppers or spinach.
