Ingredients
  

6 large eggs

1 cup cooked breakfast sausage, crumbled

1/2 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese

1/4 cup milk

1/2 cup diced bell peppers (mix of red, green, and yellow for color)

1/4 cup finely diced onions

Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste

Cooking spray or muffin liners

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it reaches the right temperature for baking.

    Prepare the Muffin Tin: Lightly coat a muffin tin with cooking spray or line each cup with muffin liners to prevent sticking. This preparation step is key for easy removal after baking.

      Mix the Egg Base: In a large mixing bowl, crack the 6 eggs and pour in the milk. Add a pinch of salt and a few cracks of black pepper. Whisk together vigorously until the mixture is smooth and slightly frothy, indicating that it's well combined.

        Add the Fillings: To the egg mixture, add in the crumbled breakfast sausage, shredded cheddar cheese, diced bell peppers, and onions. Gently stir until all ingredients are well-distributed, creating a colorful and flavorful filling.

          Fill the Muffin Cups: Carefully pour the egg mixture into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 3/4 full to allow room for the egg cups to rise as they bake.

            Bake: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the egg cups are puffed up and firm in the center. To test for doneness, insert a toothpick into the center of one cup—if it comes out clean, they're ready!

              Cool and Serve: Once baked, remove the muffin tin from the oven and allow the egg cups to cool in the tin for about 5 minutes. Carefully lift each cup out, and serve warm for a delicious breakfast treat or let them cool completely for future storage.
