These savory egg muffin cups combine lean turkey sausage, roasted red peppers, and cheddar cheese for a quick, healthy, and flavorful breakfast that’s perfect for meal prep.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 large eggs, room temperature
  • 8 oz (225 g) turkey sausage, cooked and crumbled
  • 1/2 cup (120 ml) roasted red peppers, chopped
  • 1/2 cup (50 g) shredded cheddar cheese
  • 2 medium green onions, thinly sliced
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • Olive oil or cooking spray for greasing

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 12-cup muffin tin with olive oil or cooking spray.
  2. Heat a skillet over medium heat, crumble the turkey sausage, and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess grease.
  3. Drain and roughly chop about 1/2 cup (120 ml) roasted red peppers. Set aside.
  4. In a large mixing bowl, whisk 6 large eggs until smooth and slightly frothy, about 1 minute. Add salt (1/2 tsp) and pepper (1/4 tsp) to season and whisk again.
  5. Add cooked turkey sausage, roasted red peppers, shredded cheddar cheese, and sliced green onions to the eggs. Mix gently but thoroughly.
  6. Pour the mixture evenly into the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.
  7. Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the egg cups are set and lightly golden on top. Test doneness with a toothpick; it should come out clean.
  8. Let the muffin cups cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then carefully run a knife around each cup to loosen and remove them.

Notes

Use room temperature eggs for fluffier texture. Grease muffin tin well to prevent sticking. Rotate muffin pan halfway through baking if oven heats unevenly. For dairy-free, omit or substitute cheese. Variations include adding vegetables or spices like jalapeños or cayenne pepper.
