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 this one.
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.

I assume that the other half of the cheese is sprinkled on top of the mixture before baking?
Yes 🙂
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.
