Provided by Denise

Categories     Breakfast

Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 7

6 eggs
6 tbsp heavy cream
16 oz breakfast raw sausage (in a roll)
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
6 slices cheddar cheese

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Spray a muffin tin with non-stick cooking spray.
  • Cut the sausage into 12 pieces and form into little cups in the wells of the muffin tin. No need for muffin liners.
  • In a blender container, add eggs, heavy cream, onion powder, garlic powder and pepper and blend together on low. You could also whisk everything together in a mixing bowl but the with the blender it combines the ingredients better and it's easier to pour.
  • Pour over each piece of sausage and top with a 1/2 slice of cheese per muffin. I like the cut the slices of cheese into fourths. It makes covering the round muffins easier.
  • Bake for 20 minutes until the cheese is bubbly. Can be stored in the refrigerator for 3-4 days or you can freeze them for later.
  • To reheat, just cook in the microwave for a minute or two.
  • To make the ham version, just place a slice of deli ham into the wells of the muffin tin instead of the sausage and continue like the rest of the recipe.
