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

How long will the stay good in the fridge?
Jenna says
You can. Or just spray a muffin tin really well with some cooking spray.
Virgie says
Do your use muffin liners it looks like it but not sure
Jenna says
I usually keep mine in the fridge in some tupperware containers, then heat them up in the microwave before I go to work.
Niki says
What would you suggest be the best way to store these and reheat them in the mornings? I have an hour and half commute in the mornings and I am always failing to grab breakfast that isn't a package of pop tarts as I head out the door.
Jenna says
I have never cooked vegetarian meat before, but I'm sure it would be the same cooking time.
Leora says
Would this work with a vegetarian meat substitute? Would it still need to be browned? If so, for how long?
Jenna says
I also am looking forward to next weeks episode! It's so funny and I could never imagine cooking with a blind fold.
Bonnie Jean says
Being a dialysis patient who needs to eat a lot of proteins and isn't a big morning person either, these sound perfect! I'm going to try this on a non dialysis day so I can grab one on a dialysis morning when I'm usually in a hurry! Camp Cutthroat Kitchen is great! Watched the premiere last night here in California! I'm already looking forward to next weeks episode! 🙂
