- Cook Time:
- Servings: 12
Ingredients
- (12 large) Pastured Eggs
- (1 cup cooked) Ground Breakfast Sausage
- (1 cup) Fresh Baby Spinach, roughly chopped
- (1 cup) Red Bell Pepper, diced
- (1/2 cup) Onions, diced
- (1 cup) Shredded Cheddar Cheese
- (1/4 tsp) Salt
- (1/4 tsp) Black Pepper
Directions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C). Line a 12-cup muffin pan with muffin liners (or use non-stick cooking spray)
- Brown and crumble sausage in a skillet. Drain.
- Wash, dry and dice red bell pepper and onions. Dry spinach and chop it roughly.
- Add cooked sausage, red bell pepper, onions and spinach in each muffin tin, about 2/3 full. (Divide evenly among greased muffin cups.)
- In a large measuring cup, whisk eggs and season with salt and pepper. Mix until well combined. (I recommend using a measuring cup for easy pouring.)
- Add in the egg mixture and fill each muffin tin 3/4 full. Sprinkle cheddar cheese on top.
- Bake for about 20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- As soon as you take the muffins out from the oven, run a small spatula around the edges of each muffin to loosen.
- Remove them from the muffin tin. Serve warm immediately or freeze for meal prep.
How to freeze egg muffins:
- Let baked egg muffins cool down completely.
- Wrap them in plastic wrap individually and place them in a freezer-safe zip-lock bag. (They’ll last for up to 3 months when stored properly in the freezer.)
