SAUSAGE BREAKFAST MUFFINS



Sausage Breakfast Muffins image

I wanted to come up with a filling breakfast for my boys to get them through the morning. Going off a breakfast casserole recipe, I modified it to make these hearty, energy filled muffins. I am going to work on a healthier version next go around, using ground chicken. *These freeze well. *Could be baked as a casserole in a 9 x 9 pan. 350 F for approx 1 hour. *Use glass, ceramic or best choice, stoneware. Metal pans turn the bottoms too dark.

South Beach Diet Sausage Veggie Breakfast Muffins image

I got this recipe from a South Beach Diet Cookbook. They are so easy to make and the veggies change with the seasons. I make a few batches at a time and freeze them in individual zip locks for an easy grab and go in the morning. Just nuke them for 1 minute and go! Not just for breakfast but for a healthy snack. They travel well too.

  • Crumble your italian sauge in a skillet with NO oil until nicely browned. (you can also use the italian patties).
  • Drain on paper towels and set aside in bowl.
  • Chop your peppers and onion and saute in same skillet until soft. Add to your sausages and mix well.
  • Spray your muffin tins and fill 1/2 way with sausage mix. If using whole eggs, beat and pour just to barely cover mix in tins. If using egg substitute, just pour to just barely cover.
  • Sprinkle Parm cheese over top, this will form a nice crust. Place muffin tin on top of large cookie sheet incase of dripping.
  • Bake for 10 - 15 minuters until slightly puffed.
  • There's no seasoning to add because the sausage is pre-seasoned. You can also make this with Turkey Sausage and use whatever veggies you like!
