Ingredients

Main Ingredients:

• 1 lb ground breakfast sausage (mild or spicy)
• 8 large eggs
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• ¼ cup heavy whipping cream
• ½ teaspoon garlic powder
• ½ teaspoon onion powder
• ½ teaspoon paprika
• ½ teaspoon salt
• ¼ teaspoon black pepper
• ¼ cup diced bell pepper (optional)
• 2 tablespoons chopped green onions (optional)

Why These Ingredients Work:

The sausage adds richness and flavor, while the eggs create a fluffy base. Heavy cream keeps the muffins moist, and cheddar adds savory cheesiness. Optional veggies provide color, nutrients, and extra texture.

Ingredient Notes

• Breakfast sausage: You may use pork, chicken, or turkey sausage. Just ensure there’s no added sugar for keto.
• Cheese substitutes: Swap cheddar for mozzarella, pepper jack, or Colby for a different flavor profile.
• Veggie add-ins: Spinach, mushrooms, and jalapeños work great and keep carbs low.
• Heavy cream: Can be replaced with unsweetened almond milk for a lighter version.

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Cook the Sausage

In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground sausage until browned and fully cooked. Break it into small crumbles for even distribution. Drain excess grease and set aside.

Step 2: Preheat and Prep

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Line your muffin tin with silicone or parchment liners to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.

Step 3: Mix the Egg Base

In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. The mixture should look smooth and slightly frothy.

Step 4: Add Sausage & Cheese

Stir the cooked sausage and shredded cheddar into the egg mixture.
Add optional bell peppers or green onions for color and flavor.

Step 5: Fill the Muffin Cups

Evenly divide the mixture into all 12 muffin cups. They should be about ¾ full.

Step 6: Bake to Perfection

Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until the tops are golden and the centers are set.
The muffins will puff up beautifully and then settle slightly as they cool.

Step 7: Cool and Serve

Let the muffins cool for 5 minutes before removing them from the pan. Serve warm, or store them for meal prep.

Serving Suggestions

These savory muffins pair wonderfully with:

• Fresh avocado slices
• Keto-friendly hot sauce
• A dollop of sour cream

They also make an excellent portable snack for busy afternoons.
