Cooking tip: A perfectly cooked egg is nestled in a savory sausage cup for a tasty protein rich breakfast. To get these out of the muffin pan, let them cool, run a knife around the edge of each muffin well, and gently use of a fork to help pop each cup out.
Ingredients:
- 12 ounces Italian pork sausage
- 2/3 pound ground turkey
- 2/3 cup (99g) chopped red bell pepper
- 13 large eggs, divided
- 1 tablespoon dried parsley
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon dried thyme leaves
- 1/4 teaspoon paprika
- 1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/8 teaspoon red or cayenne pepper
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease a muffin tin with twelve wells.
- In a large bowl, combine the sausage and ground turkey until thoroughly mixed.
- Add chopped red bell pepper, one egg, parsley, salt, pepper, thyme, paprika, nutmeg, and cayenne. Mix together with hands until all ingredients are incorporated.
- Divide sausage mixture evenly between the 12 muffin wells (about 66 grams in each). Press sausage mixture to form an outer layer, pushing mixture up and slightly over the rims of the wells, making sure there are no holes.
- Crack an egg into each well and immediately place in oven. Bake for 25-30 minutes until eggs are set. Top with cheese and hot sauce or salsa if desired (don't forget to add the extra grams of net carbs if you do).
