Ingredients
  

6 large eggs

1/2 cup milk (or a milk alternative)

1 cup diced bell peppers (any color)

1/2 cup chopped red onion

1 cup cooked and crumbled spicy sausage (or a plant-based alternative)

1/2 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or pepper jack work well)

1-2 jalapeños, finely chopped (adjust based on spice preference)

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

1/2 teaspoon onion powder

Salt and black pepper to taste

Fresh cilantro or parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a muffin tin with cooking spray or line it with muffin liners.

    Prepare the Egg Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until well combined.

      Add the Veggies and Sausage: Stir in the diced bell peppers, chopped red onion, crumbled spicy sausage, chopped jalapeños, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and season with salt and black pepper to taste. Mix until evenly distributed.

        Incorporate the Cheese: Gently fold in the shredded cheese, ensuring it’s mixed throughout the egg mixture.

          Fill the Muffin Tin: Pour the egg mixture evenly into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 3/4 full.

            Bake: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes or until the egg muffins are set and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

              Cool and Serve: Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack. Garnish with fresh cilantro or parsley if desired.

                Enjoy: Serve warm or let cool completely before storing in an airtight container in the fridge for a quick breakfast option during the week.
