Ingredients
  

6 large eggs

1 cup cooked breakfast sausage, crumbled

1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese

1/4 cup milk

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

1/4 cup diced onions

Salt and pepper to taste

Cooking spray or muffin liners

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). This temperature will ensure even cooking of your egg cups.

    Prepare the Muffin Tin: Lightly coat a muffin tin with cooking spray to prevent sticking, or line it with muffin liners. This will make cleanup easier and help keep the egg cups intact.

      Mix the Egg Base: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the large eggs and milk. Season the mixture with salt and pepper to taste. Whisk until the mixture becomes smooth and slightly frothy, incorporating air for a fluffier texture.

        Add the Fillings: Gently fold in the crumbled breakfast sausage, shredded cheddar cheese, diced bell peppers, and onions. Ensure that all ingredients are well combined and evenly distributed throughout the egg mixture for consistent flavor in each cup.

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

            Bake: Place the muffin tin into the preheated oven and bake for 18-20 minutes. The egg cups should puff up and be set in the center. You can check for doneness by inserting a toothpick; it should come out clean when they are ready.

              Cool and Serve: Once baking is complete, remove the muffin tin from the oven and allow the egg cups to cool in the tin for about 5 minutes. This cooling time helps them firm up a bit. Gently remove the egg cups from the tin and serve them warm, or let them cool completely for later storage.
