Sausage, Egg & Cheese Muffins
Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat oven
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (180 degrees Celsius).

Brown the sausage
Put the sausage in a medium skillet on the stove-top. If it's in a casing, simply squeeze it out and into the pan. No matter the size of the sausage link you can pinch the middle of the casing with both hands and slide your hands away from each other. Once all the sausage is in the skillet you can turn the heat on medium, or just below.
Now, sausage is naturally greasy, so you likely won't need any kind of oil or grease. But, if your pan tends to stick food to it, you can add a little bit of butter to encourage non-stickiness and give the spices something to stick to.
Before the sausage browns all the way, start breaking it up with a spatula and cover it with spices. I used a little bit of salt (feel free to omit it as the sausage has plenty of salt to begin with); along with a good amount of pepper, onion powder, sage, and parsley. Constantly stir the sausage around while breaking it up into tinier bits. The tinier the better - if they are too big the chunks of sausage will sink to the bottom of the muffins later. Once the sausage cooks all the way you can turn the stove-top off.

Whisk the eggs
Into a large bowl, crack a dozen eggs. Whip them up with a whisk until well blended. Now, add the spices mentioned before (again, salt is optional here). Also, add the heavy whipping cream, cheeses, cooked sausage, and stir well.
-
Add mixture to muffin tin
Break out the muffin tin and place in each section a large paper muffin cup liner. Spray the liners with a non-stick spray.
Use a soup ladle to dole out the mixture into each muffin cup (start with 3/4 full ladle). Be sure to mix the sausage egg mixture every so often so that every muffin will get a little bit of all the ingredients. Keep going until the bowl is empty, and you can also take a bit from too-full muffins and give it to ones that are lacking some of the sausage egg mixture.

Bake
Bake the breakfast muffins at 350 degrees Fahrenheit (180 degrees Celsius) for 35 minutes.
Once done, you can let them sit on the stove-top or heat-safe surface for several minutes until they cool enough to handle. From there you can either enjoy them now, or store them in an air-tight container in the fridge. These should last about a week in the fridge.
When re-heating, pop them in the microwave for 30 seconds on high. Add a pat of butter and enjoy!
