Ingredients

The following ingredients have 12 Servings
  • 12 eggs
  • 1/2 tsp kosher salt
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • 1/3 cup cream or milk
  • 1 1/4 cup of shredded cheese (I used monterey jack)
  • 4 oz cooked spicy ground sausage meat (or chopped pepperoni)
  • 1/4 red onion (chopped finely (about 6 - 8 tbsp))
  • Handful of basil leaves (chopped)
  • 1/2 cup of marinara sauce or tomato pizza sauce

Instruction

  • Place the eggs, salt, garlic, onion powder and cream in a large mug or bowl. Whisk until you have a smooth egg mix. Stir in about 1/2 cup of cheese.
  • Butter the cavities of a regular muffin tray (or spray with non-stick spray).
  • Pour the egg mix into each cavity (about 2/3 full).
  • Add a spoonful of the cooked sausage, some chopped onions, basil leaves, and top with a spoonful of marinara sauce.
  • Sprinkle the remaining cheese over each of the muffins.
  • Bake at 325°F for about 15 minutes, until the surface of the egg muffins are just set.
  • Remove from the oven and let them cool down slightly. Then remove the egg muffins from the muffin tray and let them cool down completely.
  • Serve with extra marinara sauce and chopped herbs.
  • FREEZING INSTRUCTIONS - freeze the egg muffins in one layer on a baking tray, covered with plastic wrap. Then, place the frozen egg muffins in freezer friendly bags until needed.
  • Reheating instructions - let the egg muffins thaw out in the fridge overnight. Reheat in the microwave for about 1 - 2 minutes, covered with wax paper or parchment paper.
