Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 lb sausage of your choice
  • 6 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup milk whole, 2%, or dairy-free alternative
  • 1 cup shredded cheese cheddar, mozzarella, or your favorite
  • 1/4 cup green onions cilantro, or any herb of choice, chopped
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder for a fluffier texture
  • 1/2 cup almond flour or regular flour optional, for a more structured muffin
  • Non-stick cooking spray or muffin liners

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 12-cup muffin tin or line with muffin liners.
  2. In a skillet over medium heat, cook the sausage, breaking it apart with a spatula, until browned and fully cooked. Drain excess grease and set aside to cool slightly.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and baking powder until well combined.
  4. Stir in the crumbled or chopped sausage, shredded cheese, green onions, cilantro, or chosen herb, and flour (if using) until evenly distributed.
  5. Pour the mixture evenly into the muffin tin, filling each cup about 3/4 full.
  6. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the muffins are set and slightly golden on top.
  7. Let them cool for a few minutes before removing from the tin. Serve warm or store for later!
