Ingredients
Scale
Protein and Vegetables

Egg Mixture
- 12 large eggs
- ¼ cup milk
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
Other

- ¼ cup shredded cheddar cheese
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to get it ready for baking the muffins.
- Prepare Muffin Tin: Generously spray a 12-cup muffin tin with cooking spray to prevent sticking.

- Assemble Muffins: Evenly distribute the cooked vegetables and diced cooked sausage into each of the muffin cups.
- Whisk Eggs: In a medium bowl, crack the eggs and add the milk, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Whisk together until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Fill Muffin Cups: Pour the egg mixture evenly over the sausage and vegetable mixture in each muffin cup.
- Top with Cheese: Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the tops of all the muffins.
- Bake: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 17-20 minutes, or until the eggs are fully cooked and set.
- Cool and Serve: Remove the tray from the oven and let the muffins cool slightly before carefully removing them from the tin. Serve warm or store for later.
