Instructions
I love making this easy breakfast muffin tin recipe! Let me show you how to make these tasty sausage egg muffins. First, I cook the sausage in a skillet over medium heat. I break it into small pieces as it cooks.
While the sausage cooks, I mix the eggs with milk, salt, and pepper in a big bowl. This makes the egg mixture ready to go.
Next, I get my muffin tin ready. I spray each cup with cooking spray or use liners. This makes sure the egg muffins don’t stick.
Then, I put the cooked sausage into the muffin cups. I add some shredded cheese on top too.
Now, it’s time to add the egg mixture. I pour it over the sausage and cheese, filling each cup 3/4 full. Then, I put the tin in a preheated oven at 400°F for 15-20 minutes.
The eggs are done when they’re set and the tops are lightly golden. This whole process takes about 30 minutes. The prep is quick, and baking takes only 15-20 minutes.
This recipe is perfect for busy mornings. It gives me a protein-packed breakfast that’s easy to make and go!
These sausage egg muffins are a game-changer for my morning routine. They’re so easy to make and absolutely delicious!
Tips, Tricks & Storing
I love these sausage egg muffins for their versatility and convenience. They’re perfect for meal prep and can be stored easily. Here are some storage instructions to keep your muffins fresh and tasty.
For short-term storage, put the cooled muffins in an airtight container. They’ll stay fresh in the fridge for up to 5 days. If you want to keep them longer, these muffins freeze well. Just wrap each one in plastic wrap and freeze for up to 3 months.
When reheating, I like to use the oven. Preheat it to 350°F and warm the muffins for about 10 minutes. This keeps them moist and crispy. For a quicker option, you can use the microwave. To prevent dryness, wrap each muffin in a damp paper towel before microwaving for 30-45 seconds.
- Don’t worry if your muffins deflate slightly as they cool – it’s normal!
- For best results, reheat frozen muffins without thawing first.
- Try different flavor combinations each week to keep things interesting.
With these meal prep tips, you’ll always have a delicious breakfast ready to go. Enjoy the convenience of these make-ahead sausage egg muffins!
Recipe Variations & Serving Suggestions
I love how you can make these sausage egg muffins your own! Add chopped broccoli, cauliflower, or mushrooms for a veggie boost. Fresh herbs like parsley or chives add a burst of flavor. Feel free to swap the cheese or meat with your favorites.
For simple and healthy pairings, try serving the muffins with sliced cucumbers, cherry tomatoes, or a light salad. They’re great for busy mornings or packed lunches. They taste good hot or cold.
These muffins shine at brunch. Pair them with baked oatmeal or banana oat pancakes for a hearty meal. Add a refreshing cucumber tomato salad for a nice contrast. You can make a delicious meal that everyone will enjoy.
