Ingredients
Scale
Egg Mixture
- 24 Eggs
- 1 tsp Salt
- 1 tsp Pepper
Filling
- 1 lb Sausage, browned and drained
- 1 Green Bell Pepper, diced
- 1 cup Cheddar Cheese, shredded
Instructions
- Preheat oven: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit to ensure it’s ready for baking the muffins evenly.
- Prepare egg mixture: In a large bowl, whisk together the 24 eggs. Season them with 1 teaspoon salt and 1 teaspoon pepper, mixing well to combine the flavors.
- Prepare muffin tins: Spray two 12-cup muffin pans generously with nonstick spray to prevent sticking.
- Assemble muffins: Line the bottom of each muffin cup with a portion of the browned and drained sausage. Top the sausage with diced green bell pepper, then sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over the vegetables.
- Add egg mixture: Carefully pour the seasoned egg mixture over the sausage, bell pepper, and cheese in each muffin cup, filling them almost to the top.
- Bake the muffins: Place the muffin pans in the preheated oven and bake for 22 to 25 minutes, or until the eggs are fully set and the tops have a slight golden color.
- Cool and serve: Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the pan for about 5 minutes. This rest time allows the muffins to firm up slightly and makes them easier to remove.
- Store leftovers: Serve immediately or store any leftover muffins in the refrigerator or freezer for quick and easy breakfasts later.
Notes
- You can make a batch ahead of time and keep them refrigerated for easy breakfasts that heat quickly.
- Freeze extras to extend their shelf life and grab them as a quick meal option.
- Feel free to swap sausage with turkey sausage or add other vegetables like onions or mushrooms for variety.
