These Sausage Crusted Egg Muffins are a great make ahead breakfast idea for busy mornings. They reheat easily and are perfect to grab and go. Good mornings lead to great days. As a mom of for it is important to me that my kids eat a nutritious breakfast in the mornings before school.
This quick and easy protein rich breakfast idea features Jimmy Dean Sausage. Sometimes I look at the roll sausages and wonder if they are up to par with the packages of fresh sausage. A few brands I’ve tried have been so fatty there is almost no meat left after cooking. The Jimmy Dean Roll Sausages are not one of them. They are still premium sausage in a convenient package. No trying to squeeze the meat out of sausage casings to use it in recipes. I try to avoid that at all costs.
Jimmy Dean Roll Sausages come in a variety of flavors. I picked up a couple packages from my local Stop and Shop here in NJ. I tried the Original and Sage in my egg muffins and both had a great flavor. You can customize these egg muffins to fit your families’ taste buds. Just swap out any flavor of Jimmy Dean sausage and change up the cheese. If you are dairy free you can leave the cheese off and they are just as tasty.
Ingredients:
One 1 lb roll of Jimmy Dean Sage Sausage
3 tbsp each almond flour, coconut flour, and ground golden flax seed
12 eggs
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
1 cup cheddar cheese
1 tsp fresh rosemary, finely chopped
Directions:
Preheat oven 400. Spray a 12 hole muffin tin liberally with cooking spray. Make sure to spray all the way up the sides and the top of the pan.
Combine the sausage with the almond flour, coconut flour, and ground flax. Divide into 12 pieces and press each piece into the bottom and up the sides of each muffin tin hole. Crack an egg into each. Sprinkle with the salt and pepper. Bake for 30 minutes.
Remove the tin from the oven and sprinkle the cheese and rosemary on top. Bake for an additional 5-10 minutes until the sausage is fully cooked (I stuck a meat thermometer into the crust to make sure it was 160) and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Other flavor ideas:
Caprese Sausage Muffins: Use Jimmy Dean Italian Sausage and proceed with the recipe as directed. When you remove the egg cups from the oven to add the cheese put a slice of fresh mozzarella on top of each. Bake for 5 minutes until it is slightly melted. Remove from the oven and top each with a slice of tomato and a sprig of fresh basil.
Spicy Sausage Muffins: Use Jimmy Dean Regular Sausage and proceed with the recipe as directed. When you remove the egg cups from the oven top each with shredded cheddar jack cheese. Bake an additional 5-10 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly. Put a slice of fresh avocado on each. Serve with spicy salsa and sour cream.
