Cheese and Sausage Egg Muffins

 Cheese and Sausage Egg Muffins

1/2 lb. bulk breakfast sausage

12 large eggs

1/2 medium onion, chopped

1/2 red bell pepper, chopped

1 tsp. salt

1/2 tsp. garlic powder

1/2 tsp. black pepper

3/4 c. shredded cheddar cheese

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.  

In a large skillet, cook the sausage until fully cooked.  Drain and set aside.

In a large bowl, whisk the eggs.  Add the onion, red pepper, garlic powder, black pepper, cooked sausage and the shredded cheese.

Spray a 12 cup muffin tin heavily with cooking spray.  Fill the muffin cups with the egg mixture.  Bake for 20 to 25 minutes.

These are also delicious if you substitute smoked salmon for the sausage and 1 T. fresh dill for the garlic powder.
