These healthy egg muffins are an easy make-ahead breakfast recipe.
Ingredients
1 cup (packed) fresh spinach, chopped
¾ cup cooked and crumbled turkey sausage
6 large eggs
¼ cup nonfat milk
⅓ cup reduced-fat shredded cheese
salt and freshly ground black pepper, (to taste)
salsa, (for serving (optional))
Method
1
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Spray 6 or 7 muffin cups with nonstick spray.
2
Spray a nonstick skillet with nonstick spray, and quickly cook the spinach- just until wilted. Let it cool, then squeeze any excess moisture out of it.
3
In a medium bowl, whisk together the sausage and spinach with the eggs and milk. Scoop into the prepared muffin tins (I find it easiest to use a ⅓ cup measuring cup) almost to the top. Sprinkle cheese on top. Then give each one a good dose of salt and pepper.
4
Bake 25 to 30 minutes, or until the egg is cooked through. Easy way to check the egg: touch the middle of the muffins... if they are still wet and gooey, they'll need a little more time in the oven. They should feel cooked through.
5
Serve the egg muffins immediately- with salsa, if desired.
