Ingredients
- 1 lb ground pork sausage (sugar-free)
- 8 large eggs
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/4 cup diced onion
- 1/4 cup diced bell pepper
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tbsp olive oil or butter (for greasing)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and generously grease a 12-cup muffin tin with olive oil or butter to prevent sticking.
- In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground pork sausage, breaking it into small pieces with a spatula. Once browned and fully cooked, drain any excess fat and set aside to cool slightly.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder until well combined. Stir in the cooked sausage, shredded cheddar cheese, diced onion, and diced bell pepper.
- Divide the egg mixture evenly among the 12 muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full. Avoid overfilling to prevent spillage during baking.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the muffins are set and the tops are lightly golden. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out clean.
- Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for 5 minutes before carefully removing them. Serve warm or let them cool completely before storing.
Notes
Pro Tips: Use pre-cooked sausage to save time, and make sure to grease your muffin tin well to prevent sticking. For extra flavor, add a pinch of garlic powder or red pepper flakes to the egg mixture. Let the muffins cool slightly before removing them from the tin to keep them intact. Storage: Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days or freeze for up to 3 months. Reheat in the microwave for 30-60 seconds. Variations: Swap the cheddar for pepper jack cheese, add diced bell peppers, or use ground turkey instead of sausage for a lighter option.
