EDITOR’S NOTE (November 18, 2019). Updated recipe by adding cooked/chopped smoked sausage as a mix-in.
Cheesy egg muffins are packed with flavor and super easy to make. Great breakfast for busy families and individuals.
Simply bake the night before. Cool, store in a sealed container, and refrigerate. The next day, warm and eat for breakfast or enjoy for lunch. Perfect for busy individuals and families.
Smoked sausage (whole or chopped) pairs well with cheesy muffins. Use as a mix-in or serve on the side.
