Ingredients

  • Nonstick cooking spray
  • 8 ounces ground pork sausage
  • 1 small onion diced
  • 1/2 medium red bell pepper diced
  • 12 large eggs beaten
  • 1/2 cup cheddar cheese shredded
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt to taste
  • Black pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F and lightly grease a 12-cup muffin tin with nonstick cooking spray.
  • In a large skillet over medium-high heat, crumble and cook the ground pork sausage for 3 minutes. Add the onions and peppers. Keep cooking until the sausage has browned and the vegetables have softened, about another 3-4 minutes. Remove from heat and set side.
  • In a bowl, whisk the eggs. Stir in the cheddar cheese, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Add cooked sausage, peppers, and onions. Mix until combined.
  • Spoon the sausage and egg mixture into the muffin cups, dividing it equally. Fill each cup about 3/4 full to allow room for the eggs to puff up while baking.
  • Place muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake until the eggs are firm and a toothpick inserted in the center of each muffin comes out clean, about 15 to 20 minutes.
  • Remove from oven and allow muffins to cool in the pan for 3-5 minutes. Gently remove muffins from the pan, running a butter knife around the edges if necessary.
  • Serve while hot or transfer to a wire rack to finish cooling.
