Ingredients
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Grease your muffin tins (enough for 12-18 muffins, depending on how big you want them) and set aside.
- In a large skillet, head 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the turkey sausage, taco seasoning and cayenne pepper, and cook for 3 minutes. Add the bell pepper and onion, and continue to cook until turkey sausage is browned, about 5-6 minutes.
- In a large mixing bowl, put the turkey sausage mixture, spinach, green onions and 1 cup of cheese.
- In a different mixing bowl, crack the 12 eggs and whisk them together. Pour the egg mixture into the turkey sausage mixture and season with a dash of salt and pepper. Stir until fully combined.
- Pour the egg mixture evenly into the muffin tins (about 3/4 of the way full or they will spill over) and sprinkle each muffin with a small amount of the 1/2 cup of leftover cheese on each egg muffin.
- Put the egg muffins in the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes or until the egg muffins are set in the middle and begin to turn golden brown.
- Remove from the oven and let cool before removing from the muffin tin.
- Once cooled off, remove from the muffin tins and serve with a dollop of sour cream, salsa, cilantro and green onions.
- Refrigerate the egg muffins for up to a week in an airtight container.
Notes
If you want to freeze these, wrap them in plastic wrap individually and place into a large Ziploc bag. Remove from the freezer when you're ready to eat them and heat in a microwave for two minutes or until warm.
