Ingredients needed for these Make-Ahead Sausage Egg Cups:
- Breakfast sausage

How to make Sausage Egg Cups
As you can see, the ingredient list for these cheesy sausage egg muffins is very minimal, and making them is also super easy! Start by cooking up your sausage, onion, garlic, and spices in a non-stick or cast iron skillet over medium heat.
Next, whisk up your eggs and milk. Fill each muffin cup with the prepared sausage mixture, a little shredded cheddar cheese, chopped spinach, and lastly the whisked egg mixture. Bake at 350 degrees for 25-30 minutes, and voila!!
Now you have breakfast prepped and ready to go for the week! I hope you love them!!
