They are individually-sized breakfast bites that you can prepare for family or group meals, make for a simple grab-and-go snack for the week, or keep on hand in the fridge as a fun way to switch things up your everyday skillet egg dishes. Savory sausage, fluffy eggs, and sharp Cheddar cheese come together for these egg muffins, and every bite is a little bit of the perfect breakfast. With the addition of bread, warming spices, crisp scallions, and creamy milk, these muffins resemble the taste and texture of a lovely brunch frittata. Egg muffins store well for up to a week in the refrigerator, making them perfect as a make-ahead breakfast or snack. Coating a muffin pan with non-stick cooking spray will lessen the possibility of having your muffins stick to the pan, but preparing them in parchment cups is a closer guarantee for a no-muss, no-fuss cooking process—and a lot less soaking of your pan later. 34 Egg Recipes That You'll be Making from Morning to Night Ingredients 1 (1-lb.) package ground pork sausage 12 large eggs 1/3 cup milk 1 slice white sandwich bread, cut or torn into ¼-inch pieces 1/4 cup chopped scallions 3/4 tsp. dry ground mustard 1/2 tsp. garlic powder 1/2 tsp. kosher salt 1/4 tsp. black pepper 3/4 cup shredded Cheddar cheese Directions Gather ingredients: Caitlin Bensel, Food Stylist: Torie Cox Preheat oven, and prep pan: Preheat oven to 350°F.
