Do you ever get in a breakfast rut like I do? I'll eat the same thing for days and days, and don't bother changing my breakfast up. Lately, it's been peanut butter toast and my coke zero. Don't laugh at me, cause coke zero is my morning coffee.
These sausage and egg muffins are so easy, you don't really need a recipe for them. They're so versatile, if they're vegetarian just leave out the sausage and add in some mushrooms or bell peppers. Use bacon instead of sausage or chorizo. Make some Mexican egg muffins. One muffin has almost 9 grams of protein to keep you full all morning long!
I would serve these breakfast egg muffins with some fresh fruit and whole-grain toast or an English muffin on the side for a full balanced breakfast.
What Ingredients do I need?
In this section, you can find substitutes or suggestions for certain ingredients. I also will try and list out what the ingredients' purpose is for.
Eggs - large eggs or even egg whites can be used.
Turkey Sausage - I like to use Jimmy Dean’s Turkey Sausage crumbles because they cook fast and don’t need a lot of fat to cook them. Depending on what type of sausage you use you might have to drain the fat.
Cheese - can use any type of cheddar, colby jack, or pepper jack cheese
Salt and Pepper - to taste
Other types of additional ingredients: cooked mushrooms, bell peppers and onions, cooked bacon

These were really good. I did sausage links crumbled, added red pepper and onions. The only problem I had was they stuck to the pan. I used oil. Maybe next time I will use silicone molds or liners. Also, how long can you keep these in the fridge?

I love the 4 ingredient breakfast muffins using bisquick. I wanted a healthier recipe. Making half the recipe, I used three egg whites and two eggs. I used Monterey jack cheese and Mrs. Dash as seasoning. My sausage was an Italian link. It was dry so i added milk. Filling my silicone muffin cups rather full, the eggs fluffed up then settled after resting. I loved the combination and it was much lighter and healthier. My new favorite.
