Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 large eggs
  • 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or mozzarella)
  • 1/3 cup green onions (chopped)
  • 1 cup cooked turkey or chicken sausage (thinly sliced)
  • 1/4 cup milk or cream
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • Fresh thyme or parsley (optional, for garnish)
  • Non-stick cooking spray (or melted butter for greasing)

Instructions

Preheat and Prep

  • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 12-cup muffin tin with non-stick spray or use silicone liners.

Whisk Egg Mixture

  • In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper until smooth and slightly frothy.

Layer Ingredients

  • Add sliced turkey sausage to the bottom of each muffin cup.
  • Sprinkle cheese and green onions evenly over the sausage.

Fill with Egg Mixture

  • Pour the egg mixture into each muffin cup, filling them about 2/3 full. Leave space for the muffins to puff up.

Bake

  • Bake for 18–20 minutes, or until muffins are golden and set in the center. A toothpick inserted should come out clean.

Cool and Serve

  • Allow muffins to cool for 5 minutes in the tin. Remove gently with a spatula or fork. Garnish with fresh thyme or parsley for a fresh touch.

Notes

Serving Suggestions

  • Pair with fresh fruit, toast, or a light salad.
  • Add a drizzle of hot sauce for extra flavor!

Storage and Reheating

  • Refrigerator: Store in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
  • Freezer: Wrap individually and freeze for up to 2 months.
  • Reheat: Warm in the microwave (30–40 seconds) or in a 350°F (175°C) oven for 5 minutes.

Tips & Tricks

  • For more veggies, add diced bell peppers or spinach to the mix.
  • Avoid overfilling the muffin cups to prevent overflow.
  • Use pre-cooked sausage to save time and ensure tenderness.
