Sausage Egg Muffins
To make Sausage Egg Muffins, whisk eggs with a little milk, divide sausage, cheddar, and scallion into a muffin tin, and bake until the centers set and the tops puff. This recipe works because the egg base stays simple and the fillings do all the heavy lifting.
These sausage egg muffins bake individual portions of eggs, sausage, and cheddar right in a muffin tin, so breakfast is grab-and-go all week. They reheat well from the fridge or freezer.
They're a good make-ahead breakfast for busy mornings. Bake a big batch on the weekend and reheat through the week.
