Savory Breakfast Muffins

I am a breakfast lover.  I always have been and always will be.  These muffins are a version of a breakfast casserole that my mom used to make when I was growing up.  Instead of making it in casserole form, I changed the recipe a bit and made them into muffins for a quick and easy breakfast.  This recipe makes 24 muffins.  You can wrap the muffins in Saran wrap and foil and freeze them.  When you need a quick, hot, and hearty breakfast, just get a muffin package out of your freezer, unwrap, and pop it into the microwave for a breakfast on the go.  

Savory Breakfast Muffins

8 slices bread (any kind- I used a gluten free brand)
10 eggs
1 cup milk
1 tablespoon ground mustard
1 pound (16 ounces) sausage- you can use pork or turkey
1 package frozen seasoning vegetables (onions, green pepper, red pepper, celery)
1 bag shredded cheese (2 cups / 8 ounces)
Salt & Pepper

Makes 24 muffins.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Brown sausage and seasoning vegetables on medium heat.  

Whisk eggs, milk, ground mustard, salt, and pepper in mixing bowl.  

Spray muffin tins with cooking spray.  Put pieces of bread into the bottoms of the muffin tins.  Divide the sausage and vegetable mixture among the muffin tins.  Press the mixture down using the back of a spoon.  Use a ladle to pour egg mixture over bread and sausage mixture.  Divide the egg mixture among the muffin tins. Sprinkle shredded cheese on the top. 

Bake in 350 degree oven for about 20 minutes.  Let cool completely.  Use a knife to separate the edges of muffin from the tin.  Gently remove muffin using a spoon.  

Muffins can be frozen.  Wrap the muffin in Saran wrap and and foil.  Put wrapped muffins in freezer bag.

Here's one of my favorite cooking cheats from this recipe...

This package of Seasoning Blend vegetables is the perfect blend of veggies to add to anything that you are cooking. The best part...it's already chopped up and ready to go!  Just look for it in your freezer section.

Enjoy!
