Ingredients

• 6 large eggs
• 0.5 pound ground sausage
• 1 cup cheddar cheese
• 0.5 cup bell peppers
• 0.25 cup green onions
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon olive oil

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 12-cup muffin pan with olive oil or non-stick spray.

Step 2

Heat a skillet over medium heat and cook the ground sausage for 5-7 minutes, breaking it into small crumbles as it cooks. Once fully cooked, remove it from heat and set aside to cool slightly.

Step 3

Dice bell peppers and finely chop green onions.

Step 4

In a large mixing bowl, crack the eggs and whisk until fully beaten.

Step 5

Add the cooked sausage, cheddar cheese, diced bell peppers, green onions, salt, and black pepper to the beaten eggs. Mix everything together until well combined.

Step 6

Spoon the mixture evenly into the greased muffin pan, filling each cup about 3/4 full.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the egg muffins are set and lightly golden around the edges.

Step 8

Remove from the oven and let the muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes before carefully removing them.

Step 9

Serve immediately, or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Reheat in the microwave for 20-30 seconds before serving.
