Scale
For the Egg Muffins:
- 3/4 pound ground breakfast sausage
- 12 large eggs, beaten
- 1/2 cup whole milk
- 2 teaspoons chili powder
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
- cooking spray, for muffin tins
- 2 cups Tillamook Farmstyle Thick Cut Mexican 4 Cheese Blend Shredded Cheese
- 1 (3.8-ounce) can sliced black olives
For Serving (optional):
- Minced cilantro
- Salsa
- Avocado slices
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F with a rack in the center position.
- Cook the sausage: Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sausage and cook, breaking it up with a wooden spoon, until browned, about 5 minutes.
- Prepare the egg mixture: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, chili powder, salt, and pepper.
- Prepare the muffin tins: Spray a 12 cup muffin tin with cooking spray to prevent the egg mixture from sticking.
- Assemble the muffins: Evenly disperse half of the sausage and half of the cheese into the prepared muffin tin. Pour the egg mixture into the cups, filling about halfway full. Top with remaining sausage, cheese, and olives.
- Bake: Bake until the egg muffins are puffed up and lightly browned, about 20-25 minutes.
- Serve: Serve warm, topped with cilantro, salsa, and avocado slices, if desired.
Notes
- To make ahead, cool the egg muffins completely after baking, then store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. To reheat, microwave on high for 30-60 seconds or reheat in an air fryer at 350°F for 3-5 minutes.
