- 1/4 cup diced bell peppers
- 1/4 cup diced onions
Other
- Cooking spray for greasing muffin tin
Instructions
- Preheat Oven and Prepare Muffin Tin: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a muffin tin with cooking spray to prevent sticking.

- Season Mixture: Add salt and black pepper to taste, mixing thoroughly to distribute the seasoning.
- Fill Muffin Cups: Pour the egg mixture evenly into the prepared muffin tin cups, filling each about three-quarters full to allow room for expansion.
- Bake: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the eggs are fully set and the tops are lightly golden brown.
- Cool and Serve: Let the muffins cool for a few minutes before carefully removing them from the tin. Serve warm and enjoy!

- You can substitute the sausage with bacon, ham, or a plant-based alternative for different flavors.
- For a dairy-free version, replace cheddar cheese with a dairy-free cheese alternative.

- These muffins can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days or frozen for longer storage.
