Breakfast on the Go
What You’ll Need
Eggs: the main ingredient. You’ll need about 6 eggs to make these delicious egg muffins
Spinach: Chopped spinach fills each egg muffin to give some greens for breakfast
Bell Pepper: Red bell peppers to be exact but you can use any other color like green, yellow, orange, to switch up the colorfulness.
Turkey Sausage: I used ground breakfast turkey sausage
Garlic & Onion: aromatics witch help give the ground sausage flavor
How To Make Baked Egg Muffins
Preheat oven 350 F. Lightly coat a 12 muffin pan with cooking spray and set aside. Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add oil. Then add garlic and onion. Sautée for up to 30 seconds. Put in sausage and cook for several minutes until sausage is done. Remove pan from heat. Crack eggs into a large bowl and season with salt and pepper. Whisk together to beat eggs. Transfer egg mix to a cup (I like to use a large measuring cup with a spout).
Place red bell pepper, spinach, and the sausage, garlic, and onion mix evenly into each muffin cup. (I like to leave some chopped red bell pepper for the end). Pour egg mixture evenly into each muffin cup till about ¾ full. Sprinkle the remaining bell peppers on top.
Bake for 20-25 minutes or until egg muffins is set. Use a toothpick to check for doneness. If it comes out clean, it’s ready! These egg muffins should be kept in an air-tight container for around 4 days. To freeze, loosely wrap each egg muffin(like with parchment paper) and transfer to a plastic bag. Remove as much air as possible and seal shut. It will last for several months in the freezer.
Tips for The Vest Egg Muffins
- Fill each muffin cavity ¾ full. When cooking these egg muffins will expand. After removing from the oven the egg muffins will deflate. If there’s too much egg mixture it will spill over and remain after delfating at room temperatue.
