Sausage Egg Muffins
Description
The recipe starts by greasing a muffin tin and microwaving fully cooked breakfast sausage. Eggs are whisked with salt and black pepper, then combined with bite-sized sausage pieces, fresh spinach leaves tucked into the egg mixture so they don't overcook, and shredded cheddar cheese. The mixture is poured into muffin cups and baked until the eggs are set but still moist. Cooling slightly before serving helps the muffins hold their shape.
The muffins have a soft, custardy texture from the eggs, contrasted by the savory sausage and fresh spinach. The melted cheddar cheese adds richness and a mild sharpness.
This dish is practical for portioned breakfasts or snacks and can be chilled for later use. Proper greasing prevents sticking and ensures easy removal from the pan.
