Description
These easy sausage egg bites are baked in a muffin tin with breakfast sausage, eggs, hash browns, and cheese. They’re fluffy, filling, and perfect for make-ahead breakfasts, busy mornings, or feeding a crowd.
Ingredients
Scale
- ½ pound breakfast sausage
- ½ cup finely chopped onion
- 4 large or extra-large eggs
- ¾ cup cottage cheese
- 2 cups refrigerated hash browns
- 1 cup shredded extra-sharp Cheddar cheese
- ¾ cup shredded Swiss cheese
- ½ teaspoon Kosher salt
- ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Spray the cups of a 12-cup regular-size muffin pan with nonstick spray. Set aside.
- Cook and crumble sausage over medium heat until done, about 10 minutes. Drain well on paper towels.
- Sauté onions over medium heat in the same pan used to cook the sausage until they begin to soften, about 5 minutes.
- Add eggs and cottage cheese to a food processor fitted with a steel blade. Pulse process five times to combine. Add hash browns, Cheddar cheese, Swiss cheese, drained sausage, onions, salt, and pepper. Pulse process five times to combine.
- Add 1/3 cup of the egg mixture to each cup of a regular muffin pan. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F, as measured with an instant-read meat thermometer, to ensure they’re fully cooked and safe to eat.
- Remove the egg muffins from the oven and let them cool for 10 minutes before removing them from the muffin pan.
