Sausage egg muffins are a delicious and convenient option for a protein-packed breakfast or snack. They are easy to prepare and can be customized with your favorite ingredients. Here's a simple recipe to get you started.
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. Prepare the Muffin Tin:
- Lightly grease a 12-cup muffin tin with non-stick spray or line with muffin liners.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of coconut oil in a medium skillet over medium heat.
- Add the finely chopped Vienna sausages to the skillet and cook until they are browned and slightly crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
- Once done, remove the skillet from heat and set the sausages aside to cool slightly.
- While the sausages are cooking, dice the red bell peppers.
- In a large mixing bowl, crack the 12 eggs and whisk them until the yolks and whites are fully combined.
- Add a dash of salt and black pepper to the eggs and mix well.
- Add the cooked sausages, diced red peppers, and shredded cheddar cheese to the egg mixture. Stir until all ingredients are evenly distributed.
- Carefully pour the egg mixture into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about three-quarters full. Distribute the mixture as evenly as possible to ensure each muffin has a good balance of ingredients.
- Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the eggs are fully set and the tops are slightly golden. A toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin should come out clean.
- Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for a few minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool a bit more. Serve warm.
Tips:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) before you start preparing your ingredients to save time.
- Ensure you grease the muffin tin well with coconut oil to prevent sticking and for easy cleanup.
- Dice the red peppers and sausages uniformly for even distribution in each muffin cup.
- Beat the eggs thoroughly with salt and pepper before pouring them into the muffin tin to ensure even seasoning.
- If you like your muffins extra cheesy, you can sprinkle a little more cheddar cheese on top before baking.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the egg muffins are fully set and slightly golden on top. Use a toothpick to check if they're done; it should come out clean.
- Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
These sausage egg muffins are perfect for meal prepping and can be easily stored in the refrigerator or freezer for a quick and satisfying meal any time. Enjoy the hearty combination of sausage, cheese, and vegetables in every bite!
