Ingredients
  

Ingredients
  • Large Eggs
  • Milk (whole or 2%)
  • Cooked Breakfast Sausage, crumbled
  • Shredded Cheddar Cheese
  • Green Onions
  • Salt and Black Pepper

Equipment

  • muffin tin or silicone mold
  • Medium skillet
  • Large bowl
  • Whisk
  • Spatula

Method
 

Instructions
  1. Get Ready: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). While it’s heating up, grease your muffin tin well with non-stick spray or butter. A silicone mold also works wonders.
  2. Cook the Sausage: In a medium skillet over medium-high heat, cook the breakfast sausage until browned and cooked through, breaking it into small crumbles. Drain on a paper towel-lined plate to remove excess grease.
  3. Whisk the Eggs: In a large bowl, whisk the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper together until just combined and smooth. Do not over-whisk.
  4. Combine Everything: Add the cooled sausage crumbles, shredded cheddar cheese, and chopped green onions to the egg mixture. Stir gently with a spatula to distribute everything evenly.
  5. Fill and Bake: Carefully pour the egg mixture into the prepared muffin cups, filling each one about three-quarters of the way full.
  6. Bake to Perfection: Bake for 20 to 22 minutes, or until the centers are set and the tops are golden-brown. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out clean. Let them cool in the tin for a few minutes before removing.

Notes

For the best texture, do not over-mix the egg mixture or over-bake the bites. Generously grease the muffin pan to prevent sticking; a silicone pan is highly recommended. These bites are freezer-friendly and can be stored for up to 2 months. Variations include using bacon and Gruyère, chorizo and pepper jack for a Southwestern style, or making them vegetarian with feta, spinach, and sun-dried tomatoes.
