Cheesy Sausage and Egg Muffins are a convenient, protein-packed breakfast option perfect for busy mornings or meal prepping. These savory muffins combine fluffy eggs, hearty turkey sausage, and melted cheese into portable portions that are both satisfying and delicious.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 large eggs
  • ¼ cup skim milk (or dairy-free alternative)
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 13 ounces precooked turkey sausage, finely diced
  • ½ cup green onions, thinly sliced
  • 1 cup shredded cheese blend (cheddar, mozzarella, or preferred choice)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Set the oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Prepare Muffin Pan: Generously coat a 12-cup muffin pan with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
  3. Mix Eggs and Seasoning: In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper until smooth.
  4. Add Fillings: Stir in the diced turkey sausage and sliced green onions, ensuring even distribution.
  5. Fill Muffin Cups: Pour the egg mixture into the prepared muffin pan, filling each cup about ¾ full.
  6. Top with Cheese: Sprinkle shredded cheese over each muffin cup.
  7. Bake: Place the muffin pan in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the muffins are set and lightly golden.
  8. Cool and Serve: Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack. Serve warm.

Pro Tips:

  • Avoid Overmixing: When combining ingredients, mix just until combined to prevent the muffins from becoming tough.
  • Check for Doneness: Insert a toothpick into the center of a muffin; if it comes out clean, they’re done.

Common Mistakes to Avoid:

  • Overfilling Muffin Cups: Filling beyond ¾ can cause overflow during baking.
  • Insufficient Greasing: Ensure the muffin pan is well-greased to facilitate easy removal.

Notes

  • Serving Suggestions: Pair with fresh fruit or a side salad for a complete meal.
  • Variations: Substitute turkey sausage with chicken sausage, or add vegetables like bell peppers or spinach for added nutrition.
  • Storage: Store cooled muffins in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
  • Reheating: Warm in the microwave for 30-45 seconds or in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 10 minutes.
