I’m so proud to be working with Jennie-O to bring you this recipe for egg muffins! We eat so much Jennie-O in our house and I love sharing those recipes with you!
Have you guys seen Moana yet? We have watched it like three times and I seriously cry every single time.
It’s totally possible that it’s just been an emotional couple of months – when I add up all the things that have happened since January 1st, I’m a little impressed with myself that I haven’t completely lost it – but I also cry every time we listen to the soundtrack. It is now on repeat in our house, and I’m not usually such a sap, but it legitimately makes me cry.
I think it’s the telling of a story of young girl who is fighting for her people and finding strength within herself . . . you guys, I’m for sure a sap! I just gave myself goosebumps writing that last sentence.
I love the idea of showing my kids movies that show them the importance of inner strength. Especially my girls! It’s a far cry from the boy rescuing the girl in all.the.movies of my youth. So if you haven’t seen it yet, you totally have to. Also, they show Moana as a toddler, young girl, and older teenager, and as a young girl she is a spitting image of my niece which I think is the coolest thing ever.
INGREDIENTS FOR EASY EGG MUFFIN CUPS
And after you give my first recommendation a go, you have to try the next one, which is these super fast Cheese and Sausage Egg Muffins! These breakfast egg muffins are SO fast and delicious. They start with Jennie-O’s all natural breakfast sausage. It is so perfect in these muffins because with so few other ingredients, the flavor the sausage really shines through and makes for one amazing tasting muffin!
WHAT YOU NEED TO MAKE BREAKFAST EGG MUFFINS
- Jennie-O Breakfast Sausages
- eggs
- onion
- red bell pepper
- salt and pepper
- garlic pepper
- cheddar cheese
CAN YOU EAT EGG MUFFINS COLD?
Yes! These are great warm or cold. This egg muffin recipe makes a great school snack, especially because they do not need to be warm to enjoy them. They will last in your refrigerator after baking for three days. Otherwise you can freeze them!
HOW DO YOU REHEAT EGG MUFFINS?
To reheat your frozen egg muffins, put them in the microwave for 1 minute at half power. I like to wrap them in a slightly damp paper towel when I do this to keep them from drying out.

Cheese and Sausage Egg Muffins
Ingredients
- 1 pound Jennie-O Breakfast Sausage
- 24 large eggs
- 1 medium onion chopped
- 1 medium red bell pepper diced
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1 1/2 cups cheddar cheese divided
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
- In a large skillet, cook the sausage until fully cooked through. Drain and set aside.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs. Add the onion, pepper, spices, cooked sausage, and 1 cup of the cheese.
- Spray two 12 cup muffin tins heavily with cooking spray. Using a 1/3 cup measure, fill the muffin cups (in other words, 1/3 cup of the mixture in each muffin cup). Top with the remaining cheese and bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until the muffins are set. (Mine were done at 20 minutes, but when I baked until 25 minutes they came out of the pan more easily.)

Jennie-O is the best!!
Faith (An Edible Mosaic) says
I love this idea, not only because it’s perfect for breakfast on-the-go, but also because it’s a great way to get veggies in early! Yum!
Danielle says
The recipe says to set aside the sausage but not what to do with it after that ?
Is it 1/3 cup of each ? 1/3 cup all mixed together ….?
I’m sorry Danielle, I will clarify the recipe, thank you for bringing it to my attention. It’s 1/3 cup of the final mixture into each muffin tin cup.
Gwen T says
Am I missing something? I’m lovin’ the looks of them and want to make them! I’m still not seeing what to do with the sausage. Do you put the sausage on top of the egg mixture and then put some of the remaining cheese on top of that?
Oops! Sorry about that Gwen! It’s fixed now.

I want a stack of these in my freezer at all times, what a great grab and go breakfast! <3 Jennie O
Thank you Sue!
Kim Beaulieu says
This looks absolutely amazing. Perfect for breakfast, or breakfast for dinner kinda nights. Love that it uses turkey sausage. I’ll have to peek for Jennie-O when we head over to the states to shop this week. I’ve never tried it but now I’m intrigued and must procure some immediately. Healthier sausage is always a good thing.
Dolly says
I’m assuming you should add the cooked sausage before filling the muffin tins but this was missed in the instructions!
Thanks Dolly! It’s fixed now!

What a great portable breakfast!
Gina D from Texas says
If I want to take these to a church gathering – which means we won’t eat them right away -will they keep? How are they at just room temperature?
They will probably be okay, but they are definitely better warm
Peter says
Ist possible to make just half of portion – 12pcs instead of 24pcs – of course with half of all ingredients..and with 95% Ham instead of Jennie-O Breakfast Sausage?
That would work
Cheryl says
Love this recipe. Have you tried freezing some and reheating them? Looking for make ahead breakfasts to take to work. Thanks for sharing this with us.
I have! I reheat them at about 1 minute (wrapped in a towel) at half power.
