These Egg & Sausage Breakfast Muffins are a great way to start your morning. Easy to whip up and perfect for freezing. Breakfast? Done.
*This post is an update from 2014.
I made these Breakfast Muffins several years back and despite the not-so-lovely photos, they have been quite popular on the site. I thought it was high time for a remake, and it reminded me just much much we love these little babies!
The ingredients are pretty basic: Eggs, Milk, Cheese, Sausage (or ham, or bacon), and stuffing mix. Yeah, that last one threw me too. But let me tell you, it was good. Like REALLY good. The original recipe (I’m not sure where it came from, but if you do, please let me know!) was for a large casserole but I knew it would be fun and cute as muffins. They are similar to a frittata, and are fluffy, super delicious with a nice, golden brown outside crust.
Of course they are incredibly easy to make, too. Because mama ain’t got time for a complicated breakfast. Whisk together the eggs and milk, cook the sausage, grate the cheese. Put it all together with some seasoned stuffing mix and boom! Breakfast is done.
Well, almost done…you still have to bake it. But that takes less than 30 minutes and then you really are done.
Boom.
Seasoned Egg & Sausage Breakfast Cups
Ingredients
- 6 eggs
- 2 cups milk
- 2 cups Seasoned Stuffing Mix like Mrs. Cubbison's or Stovetop
- 1 cup freshly shredded cheddar cheese divided
- 8- ounces breakfast sausage cooked and finely chopped

- 1 tablespoon rough chopped flat leaf parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray a 12-cup muffin pan with cooking spray and set aside.
- In a large bowl, beat eggs and milk until well combined. Stir in salt, stuffing mix, sausage and half of the cheese.
- Divide egg mixture into the 12 muffin cups and top with remaining cheese. Bake for about 25 minutes at 350 degrees.
- Allow muffins to cool slightly before using a knife to gently release them from the pan.
- Garnish with parsley, if desired, and serve hot.

Easy Egg & Sausage Muffin – do u prepare the stuffing as on package or just use as is?
It’s dry; it softens with the egg.
I have frozen 2 dozen to be ready for a church breakfast. Do I thaw them before reheating? How would you reheat? I’d have access to an oven or to a microwave at the church. I’ll be making two dozen more the morning of the breakfast so I’ll have a lot to reheat…
Hi Donna, sorry I didn’t see this over the weekend – how did they turn out? In the future, I would say you can just heat them in the microwave, maybe with a separate cup of water in there to create some moisture so they don’t dry out.
How do you like to freeze the sausage and egg muffins?
I just place them in a zip top bag once cooled and stick it in the freezer.
I assume that the other half of the cheese is sprinkled on top of the mixture before baking?
Yes 🙂
