  • Total Time: 30 minutes
  • Yield: 6 muffins

Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 6 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/4 cup cooked and crumbled breakfast sausage
  • 1/4 cup diced bell peppers
  • 1/4 cup diced onions
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Other

  • Cooking spray for greasing

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven and Prepare Tin: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a muffin tin generously with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
  2. Mix Eggs and Milk: In a large mixing bowl, whisk the 6 large eggs together with 1/2 cup milk until the mixture is smooth and fully combined.
  3. Add Fillings: Stir in 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese, 1/4 cup cooked and crumbled breakfast sausage, 1/4 cup diced bell peppers, and 1/4 cup diced onions. Mix well to evenly distribute all ingredients.
  4. Season: Add 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper to the mixture. Stir again to incorporate the seasonings evenly throughout.
  5. Fill Muffin Cups: Pour the egg mixture evenly into the greased muffin tin cups, filling each about three-quarters full to allow room for rising.
  6. Bake: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes. Check that the eggs are set and the tops are lightly golden before removing.
  7. Cool and Serve: Allow the muffins to cool slightly in the tin for a few minutes before carefully removing them. Serve warm for the best flavor and texture.
