Sausage egg muffins are a fun breakfast that is filled with eggs, cheese, sausage, and peppers that are perfect for those on the go mornings.
Being a chicken farmer these days is really paying off! Our chickens have finally started laying again after taking a few weeks break because they were molting. We are getting between 3-4 eggs a day and our pullets should start laying next month. Once they do, we should start getting around 25 a day.
I’m thankful I don’t have to participate in the egg shortages or price increases. We have plenty on hand and I wanted to try something I had never made before with them. I see many people get egg muffin type things at Starbucks and rave about them, but I never go there nor want to. So, I came up with these and holy cow are they good! They have the best texture and are so easy to make.
You can make a few batches of these ahead of time and freeze the extras. Such a great way to use eggs if you are getting a bunch from your chickens or they are about to go bad.
