These Maple Sausage and Egg Muffins are the ultimate grab-and-go breakfast! Packed with savory sausage, fluffy eggs, and a hint of sweet maple, they’re perfect for meal prep and make busy mornings deliciously easy.

Ingredients

  • 1 lb breakfast sausage (maple-flavored or regular)

  • 12 large eggs

  • 1/4 cup milk (any kind)

  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese

  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup (plus more for drizzling, optional)

  • 1/4 cup finely chopped red bell pepper (optional)

  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives (for garnish, optional)

Directions

  • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 12-cup muffin tin.
  • In a large skillet, cook the breakfast sausage over medium heat, breaking it up with a spoon, until fully browned. Drain off any excess grease and set aside.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper until well combined and slightly frothy.
  • Stir in the cooked sausage, shredded cheddar cheese, maple syrup, and chopped red bell pepper (if using) into the egg mixture.
  • Evenly divide the mixture among the 12 muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
  • Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until the egg muffins are set and lightly golden brown around the edges.
  • Remove the muffin tin from the oven and let the muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.
  • Garnish with fresh chives, if desired. Serve warm, with an optional drizzle of extra maple syrup. Enjoy your delicious Maple Sausage and Egg Muffins!

Notes

    • Make-Ahead Magic: These muffins are fantastic for meal prepping! Cook a double batch and store cooled muffins in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days, or freeze them individually wrapped for up to 2 months. Reheat in the microwave or oven.
    • The Secret to Fluffy Eggs: Don’t skip the milk! A splash of milk, cream, or even water helps create a lighter, fluffier texture in your egg muffins, preventing them from becoming rubbery. Whisking well also incorporates air for a better rise.
    • Customization is Key: Feel free to play with your fillings! Add a pinch of red pepper flakes for heat, substitute Swiss or Monterey Jack cheese for cheddar, or add other finely diced vegetables like spinach or mushrooms for extra nutrition. Just make sure not to overfill the cups!
