  1. We really enjoyed these little gems! I used chopped ham in place of the sausage -- just a personal preference that my family has. I also sauteed the onion (I used green onion) and bell peppers and then added the ham for a couple minutes as well. I might pump up the garlic powder a little bit the next time I make these. I also went a little heavy on the cheese. I baked these in my silicone muffin pans and they fell right out after baking. I did increase the baking time to about 30 minutes. I wrapped the leftover ones and have them in the freezer -- plus I did reheat one yesterday morning and it turned out great -- just about 20-25 seconds in the microwave. I think you could also add some chopped brocolli or shredded zucchini -- or even some hash browns to these. Thank you, Nicole for posting this recipe.
     
  2. These are terrific!!! They have transformed our breakfast rush into a calm and peaceful dance!! Best of all they take about a minute in the microwave to go from frozen to a hot brekky!! I have used pork, italian, farmers,and turkey sausage. I have added 1/2 c. frozen hash browns to the mix as well as many different kinds of cheeses. We love these muffins and they are a nice change from the usual breakfast fare. Thank you for sharing!
     
  3. This recipe is fine and easy enough, so I have no comments on the recipe. What I really hate is the picture does NOT correspond to the recipe. The eggs in the photo are not stirred, mixed, or whipped in any way and THAT is the recipe I wanted to find.
     
  4. These are so good and very handy. I made this recipe for that "on the go" morning before football games. We literally grabbed a couple a piece and ate in the car! This recipe is perfect for that morning commute or those busy weekend mornings. Thank you for sharing withus.
     
  5. I made this for a Fathers Day potluck at church today. I originally found the recipe in one of my mothers cookbooks and copied it down. They went over great I even got asked for the recipe. Next time I might try bacon or ham.

  1. Nice simple recipe that is easy to adjust to personal taste. I cut it in half as there's only 3 of us but think they'd make great left overs or an easy breakfast for a crowd. I first sauted some chopped onion and red peppers and used bacon instead of sausage as that's what I had - also went heavy on the cheese and it worked out fine. I did find that 15 minutes in my oven was about right. Like another reviewers idea of adding hash browns and think I'd then make them in my BIG muffin tins to accommodate it all.
     
  2. What a fun recipe! Super easy! I just chopped up already cooked sausage to put that on the bottom of the cupcake pan, add a little cheese on top of that then cracked an egg in, added salt and pepper and then added a little bit more cheese and stuck it in the oven. They turned out marvelous!

  3. We made these this past weekend. I used cayenne pepper instead of garlic (to limit garlic breath in the early morning). I reduced the size to cup of mix per muffin to ensure they did not exceed the muffin tin. Two of these reduced sized muffins seemed to be enough. Topped with "Red Hot" to add some more spice.
     
  4. These are a nice, quick breakfast. My only recommendation is to definitely use some muffin cups. I greased my favorite muffin tin. The one that the muffins always slide right out of. Not only did these stick to them something awful, but I really had to scrub to get the tin clean, even after soaking! I substituted ham for pork sausage and left out the green peppers. They reheat nicely out of the fridge, so I plan to freeze a few and see how that does. Thanks for sharing
