Ingredients

• 1 pound Ground breakfast sausage
• 6 whole Eggs
• 1 medium Red bell pepper
• 1 medium Green bell pepper
• 1 small Yellow onion
• 1 cup Shredded Mexican cheese blend
• 1 small Jalapeño
• 2 tablespoons Cilantro
• 2 tablespoons Milk
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 0.25 teaspoon Chili powder
• 1 as needed Cooking spray

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly spray a standard 12-cup muffin tin with cooking spray.

Step 2

Divide the ground breakfast sausage into 12 equal portions. Press each portion into a muffin tin, shaping it to fully line the bottom and sides of each cup to form a 'sausage cup.'

Step 3

Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 10 minutes. The sausage will shrink slightly and release some fat during this time; carefully remove the tin and drain excess grease if needed.

Step 4

While the sausage cups are baking, dice the red and green bell peppers, small onion, and jalapeño. Finely chop the cilantro.

Step 5

In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, black pepper, ground cumin, and chili powder until well combined.

Step 6

Stir in the diced bell peppers, onion, jalapeño, cilantro, and 3/4 cup of shredded Mexican cheese blend into the egg mixture.

Step 7

Pour the egg mixture evenly into the pre-baked sausage cups, filling each about 3/4 full. Be careful not to overfill.

Step 8

Top each cup with a sprinkle of the remaining Mexican cheese blend.

Step 9

Bake for an additional 12-15 minutes, or until the eggs are fully set and the tops are golden and bubbly.

Step 10

Allow the Tex Mex Breakfast Sausage Cups to cool for 2-3 minutes before carefully removing them from the muffin tin.

Step 11

Serve warm, garnished with extra cilantro if desired. Enjoy!
