Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 6 large large eggs Fresh eggs make the muffins fluffy and delicious.
  • 1/2 cup crumbled cooked sausage Use cooked sausage; drain excess grease for a healthier muffin.
  • 1/2 cup chopped spinach Fresh spinach works best, but frozen can be used if thawed and drained.
  • 1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese Choose sharp cheddar for more intense flavor.
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt Adjust to your preference.
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper Taste the mix before baking for optimal seasoning.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure muffins rise perfectly.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, crack the 6 eggs and whisk until smooth.
  3. Fold in the crumbled cooked sausage and chopped spinach into the egg mixture.
  4. Add in the shredded cheddar cheese, salt, and pepper; mix until just combined.
  5. Grease a muffin tin or line it with paper liners for easy removal.
  6. Scoop the egg mixture evenly into each muffin cup, filling them about 3/4 full.
  7. Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes until tops are golden and a toothpick comes out clean.

Notes

For a flavor boost, consider adding diced bell peppers or onions. Customize with herbs like parsley or dill. Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days, or freeze for longer storage.
