Ingredients

  • 8 oz ground breakfast sausage
  • 6 large egg s
  • 1/2 cup whole milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
  • 1/4 cup green onions, thinly sliced

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and generously grease a 12-cup standard muffin tin with non-stick spray or butter.
  • In a skillet over medium-high heat, cook the ground sausage while breaking it into small crumbles until browned and no longer pink.
  • Drain the rendered fat from the sausage and allow the meat to cool slightly.
  • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, pepper, and garlic powder until the mixture is homogenous.
  • Distribute the cooked sausage crumbles and 1/2 cup of the shredded cheddar cheese evenly among the 12 muffin cups.
  • Pour the egg mixture into each cup, filling them to approximately 3/4 capacity.
  • Top each cup with the remaining 1/2 cup of shredded cheddar and the sliced green onions.
  • Bake for 18 to 20 minutes, or until the egg bites are puffed and the centers are firm to the touch.
  • Remove from the oven and allow to rest in the pan for 5 minutes before extracting with a thin spatula or knife.
