Now then. Eggs.
Sometimes I scramble them with cheese and veggies, sometimes I make egg salad, but most often I make egg muffins. I use a Pampered Chef brownie pan to do this, but a regular cupcake pan is fine. The magic of these muffin eggs is that you can put whatever you want in them. I've used ground turkey taco meat, tomatoes, cheese of all kinds, broccoli, mushrooms, ham - they hold it all. This week I used breakfast sausage and cheese.
Yields 12 muffins
11 eggs
1/2 tsp sea salt
1/4 tsp ground mustard
1/4 tsp garlic powder
1 tbs milk or cream
1 pound breakfast sausage, browned (you will only use half)
Cheese - I used gouda
Directions
Preheat oven to 350.
Cut cheese into pieces - I usually put three small pieces in each muffin slot. You can add more or less.
Brown sausage. Drain and allow to cool, then add to muffin slots by the tablespoon, about a tablespoon and a half in each. I eyeball it.
Beat eggs with spices and milk. Make it easy on yourself and do this in a large measuring cup that has a spout so it's easy to pour.
Pour eggs over your sausage and cheese add-ins.
Bake for 30 minutes.
Easy peasy protein yeezy. Pack those sumbitches up and you have breakfast made for the week.
I froze the other half of the cooked breakfast sausage. BOOM. Already one step ahead for next time.

Chicken or the egg?

Said no one ever.
What's your go-to breakfast?

yes girl; yes...i never used to vote but then started just so i could reserve my right to bitch and complain all the live long day about how stupid the government is being. right now, our alcoholic racist mayor (this has been proven btw) is under fire because he's caught in some crack-cocaine smoking, hanging out with drug dealers and possible murderer scandal and guess what? YOU BETTER BELIEVE I'M MAKING FUN OF HIM AND MOCKING THE SHIT OUT OF HIM ALL DAY ERRYDAY because i voted AGAINST him.

My go-to breakfast?
ReplyDelete(I really just drink coffee)
I ought to eat eggs.
I'll vote this morning
(I do it regularly)
so I can complain.
Vote..vote...VOTE!! My grandmother, who was a Polish refugee, shamed me into voting when I was 18. We were talking about politics and I said, "Grandmom...won't make a difference with one vote from me. Our government is a huge machine..out of touch with it's citizens". Wow, was she pi$$ed! "Papa and I did NOT escape to this wonderful country to hear such garbage!" (thick Polish accent) I've voted ever since.
ReplyDeleteBreakfast food.. winter is oatmeal (I make my own "instant") or whole grain toast w/ peanut butter. Summer is a protein drink w/ fruit in it, or an egg scramble.
I always love your recipes, they seriously always look delicious! I agree that ppl need to eat eggs and go vote!
ReplyDeleteI usually stick to a protein shake because it is quick and easy. Those look amazing, and totally worth trying! Of course, I am voting!
ReplyDeleteI make these all the time and love them! They are the perfect thing to bring to work to eat during the week.
ReplyDeleteThey are deciding the fate of the Astrodome today (aka "The 8th Wonder of the World," which has been sitting, unused, for nearly a decade) and I don't know if I can vote on it or not since I live in the 'burbs so I'm a little bitter. But I will probably find my polling place on the way home. Also, I love today's haiku. Probably my favorite so far!
ReplyDeletei always love a good way to mix up eggs. i should eat more of them. and agreed, go vote!
ReplyDeleteOne of these days I'll make egg muffins. It's that whole planning ahead thing that gets in the way.
ReplyDeleteLove the Haiku.
Voting is very important if you want to complain when you don't get your way!!!
ReplyDeleteI have been meaning to try these egg muffins that everyone speaks of. Maybe I will try yours!
With you 100% on the voting.
ReplyDeleteI love the Colonel Mustard
Love egg muffins! I need some square muffin pans though!
ReplyDeleteVoted early this morning. The 3 elderly women working the polls have been there forever & it's always like Who's on first EVEN tho we handed them our licenses! JMJ!
ReplyDeleteAnyway, happy to have been Born in the USA! Will need to try those egg muffins, protein is what I need, too. My go-to breakfast used to be
Instant breakfast. Had a protein shake this morning. And my vitamins, of course.
May all those elected into office today be good, not greedy, not bribed, etc. #DOTHERIGHTTHING
Love your MOMMA
PREACH! If I see one person complain on FB about the election and then find out they didn't vote, I'm gonna bitch slap a mofo. It's our civic duty!
ReplyDeleteYummy yummy egg muffins. I made an egg bake for the lupus loop after party very similar! But I used pre-cooked Jimmy Dead sausage crumbles :-)

ReplyDeleteJudy, that is a great story. It is certainly a privilege not to be wasted!
ReplyDeleteMother, I hope the pols hear you. #DOTHERIGHTTHING
Egg muffins need to be a part of my life. I need to change up the smoothie situation because my body is used to it and I was going to try egg-beaters but I don't have extra time in the morning. Thank you for solving my problem for me :)
ReplyDeleteYum, yum and yum....I so need some egg muffins in my life...move over deviled eggs...there is a new kid in town!!
