SPICY LOW-CARB EGG AND SAUSAGE MUFFINS



Spicy Low-Carb Egg and Sausage Muffins image

My husband is constantly on-again/off-again a low-carb diet. These are an easy breakfast for him to grab and go in the mornings. They freeze well and are easily re-heated by wrapping in a paper towel and microwaving for a minute. You can lower the cholesterol by using egg whites, or a combination of whites and whole eggs if you'd like. A 16 oz. carton of egg whites is equal to 10 eggs, 1 cup of whites is equal to 5 eggs, and 3 tbsp. whites equals one egg for those who would like to substitute.

Time 40m

Yield 24 muffins, 24 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

16 eggs (or substitute egg whites for some or all of eggs)
1 lb hot sausage
2 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
1 teaspoon olive oil
2 cups onions, finely chopped
6 jalapeno peppers, seeded and finely chopped
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon garlic salt
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 tablespoon TABASCO® brand Chipotle Pepper Sauce
cooking spray

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Brown and crumble sausage until no pink is left, use slotted spoon to put on a plate to cool.
  • Add olive oil to pan and saute onions and jalapenos until softened, about 3-4 minutes. Set aside to cool.
  • Beat eggs in a large bowl. Add cooled meat and veggies, and the rest of the ingredients except cooking spray. Stir well.
  • Spray muffin pans very well with cooking spray (these stick a lot!). Fill each well about 3/4 full.
  • Bake for 30 minutes. To remove from pan, run a sharp knife around the edges of each muffin and pop out while they're still hot so that they don't stick.
  • Enjoy hot, or cool and freeze on a sheet pan, then pop into a freezer-safe ziplock bag. Can be reheated in the microwave wrapped in a paper towel for a minute or two on high heat. Enjoy!

Tips:

  • Choose lean sausage: Opt for sausage links or ground sausage with a lower fat content to reduce the overall fat and calories in your muffins.
  • Use a variety of vegetables: Don't limit yourself to just bell peppers and onions. Try adding other vegetables like spinach, mushrooms, or zucchini for a more colorful and nutritious muffin.
  • Experiment with different seasonings: Feel free to customize the flavor of your muffins by adding your favorite herbs and spices. Paprika, garlic powder, or chili powder are all great options.
  • Make them ahead of time: These muffins are perfect for meal prep. Cook a batch on the weekend and reheat them throughout the week for a quick and easy breakfast or snack.
  • Freeze for later: If you won't be eating all the muffins right away, freeze them for later. Simply wrap each muffin individually in plastic wrap and place them in a freezer-safe bag.
