Cheezy Sausage Egg~uffins

  
     Having chickens means that we eat a lot of eggs around here. Several times a week they are the breakfast, lunch or dinner. We hard boil them for egg salad and as a topper for our greener salads.  They are probably one of the most versatile foods out there.  They can be fried, poached, hard boiled, soft cooked etc, etc etc.
     I like to make a baked egg casserole as they are very easy.  What happens when you put that in a bundt pan or muffin tin instead of the 9x13 baker?  Something amazing!  You have a brand new dish!  Your supper table goes from Really, eggs again?  To WOW, what is this!  Okay we do like eggs and for the most part, there are no complaints when that is what greets you when you are called to supper. 
    So are they easy to prepare?  You bet so these would make an awesome “I forgot to defrost the meat!” or “We haven’t had supper yet and it is 7:30 what can we have that is quick?” dilemma that so many of us face multiple times a month (or week if you are like me). 
  To make you will need:
                        16 eggs                                  Pam or equivalent spray
                    1 lb of sausage                            12 count muffin  and 1 mammoth
                    2 cups of cheese                        muffin tin or maybe just 2 large ones
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Cook sausage in small skillet and drain.  Spray muffin tins with Pam.  Scramble eggs in a large bowl.  Add sausage and cheese and stir until all combined.  Fill muffin cups about 3/4 of the way up as these don’t rise as cupcakes do !
  Bake in the oven checking them at 10 minutes and then every minute or two after that until done. 
    Now my kiddos said that if you are going to call these muffins or cupcakes they need a “frosting top”.  They suggested that you put a drizzle of maple syrup over the top.      Something to try the next time?  Not a huge syrup fan here..
   As you can see these are super easy and can have many variations:  Ham and cheese, veggie, if you don’t want the meat at all, just plain eggs with  a little salt and pepper.  The possibilities are really endless!
  **Keep in mind this was made for my kiddos.  It made 12 regular sized and 6 mammoth size.  You probably want to adjust the ingredients if you don’t need that many.  However they are good heated in the microwave for 1-1.5 minutes the next day!
  Enjoy!
