Sausage, Green Onion and Cheddar Cheese Egg "Muffins"

Sausage, green onion, and cheddar cheese egg "muffin"

If you're on Pinterest, you've seen these egg "muffins" floating around. They have a lot going for them:

  • They're a make ahead homemade breakfast. Just pop one in the microwave and eat!
  • No carbs, but they're filling from the protein rich eggs, breakfast meat, and/or loads of veggies you can add to them.
  • You only have to wash breakfast pots and pans once a week.
  • The recipe variations are endless.

I'll give you the links to a couple of different sites where I reviewed and tweaked recipes from: 

  • http://www.kalynskitchen.com/2006/10/egg-muffins-revisited-again.html, and this one,

Here's what I ended up with.

Sausage, Green Onion and Cheddar Cheese Egg "Muffins"

Ingredients

  • 1 pound breakfast sausage, cooked and cooled
  • 1/2 cup to 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese, grated
  • 1 large green onion, finely chopped
  • 8 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • handful of chopped herbs (I used marjoram, rosemary and basil)

Directions

Preheat the oven to 375 F. Spray your 12 cup muffin tin with non-stick cooking spray. Evenly distribute the breakfast sausage, cheddar cheese and green onions into the muffin tins. In a large mixing bowl, combine the eggs, milk, baking powder, salt, pepper and chopped herbs. Divide the egg mixture evenly into the muffin tins.

Bake the "muffins" for 15-20 minutes until just set. Cool completely and keep refrigerated until breakfast time. Reheat and enjoy!
