Ingredients
Scale
Egg Mixture
- 24 Eggs
- 1 tsp Salt
- 1 tsp Pepper
Additional Ingredients
- 1 lb Sausage, browned and drained
- 1 Green Bell Pepper, diced
- 1 cup Cheddar Cheese, shredded
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to get it ready for baking the egg muffins.
- Prepare Egg Mixture: In a large bowl, whisk together the 24 eggs, seasoning them evenly with 1 teaspoon of salt and 1 teaspoon of pepper until fully combined.
- Prepare Muffin Pans: Spray two 12-cup muffin pans with nonstick spray to ensure easy removal of the muffins after baking.
- Layer Ingredients: Distribute the browned and drained sausage evenly at the bottom of each muffin cup, then add a layer of diced green bell pepper followed by a sprinkle of shredded cheddar cheese.
- Add Egg Mixture: Pour the whisked eggs carefully over the layered ingredients in each muffin tin, filling them nearly to the top.
- Bake: Place the pans in the preheated oven and bake the muffins for 22-25 minutes, or until the eggs are fully set and cooked through.
- Cool: Remove the muffins from the oven and allow them to cool for about 5 minutes; they will slightly flatten as they cool.
- Serve or Store: Serve immediately for a warm breakfast, or refrigerate or freeze leftovers for quick reheating and convenience on busy mornings.
Notes
- You can prepare a large batch ahead of time and store them in the refrigerator for up to 4 days or freeze for longer storage.
- To reheat, microwave a muffin for 30-60 seconds until warmed through for an easy breakfast option.
- Feel free to customize by adding other vegetables or swapping sausage for bacon or ham.
- Using nonstick spray or muffin liners helps prevent sticking and makes cleanup easier.
