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