Sausage Egg Muffin Cups
These sausage egg muffin cups are what happens when necessity meets convenience. I’ve been trying to get more protein in my diet and our mornings have been busy around here. I’m sure most of you can relate. So what we have here are delicious, handheld egg muffins that are packed with protein and flavor!
I’m pretty picky when it comes to make ahead egg recipes, so you have to trust me when I tell you – these will make a believer out of you.
I’ve tested these egg muffins sooooo many times and with so many different variations. I can confidently say – this is THE egg muffin cup recipe you want. They’re dense and fluffy, with the perfect ratio of sausage and cheese folded into the mix. They don’t dry out and they’re just as good reheated as they are fresh out of the muffin pan.
Here’s where easy meets yum – we’re dirtying a total of two dishes for a week’s worth of breakfast.
How to Make Sausage Egg Breakfast Muffins
- Brown the sausage.
- Crack the eggs.
- Add seasonings, cheese, and mix.
- Fill the muffin trays.
- Bake.
That’s it. Seriously. 5 steps and 30 minutes = breakfast for the whole week. I mean, come on. You can’t beat that.
Who Needs These Sausage Egg Muffin Cups:
- non-morning people
- blue collar people who don’t want fast food for breakfast
- moms with busy school mornings
- anyone who spends money on Starbucks egg muffin cups
- anyone who needs easy, on-the-go protein snacks
- people who like minimal prep/minimal clean up recipes
These work perfect for our household right now. My boyfriend and I both work days, but he has to be up 3 hours before I do. And I love him, but I’m not getting up that early to make breakfast and try to go back to bed until I go in.
