Sausage egg muffins are egg muffins that are filled with sausage, egg, spinach, and cheese. They are perfect for a quick on-the-go breakfast, and they make a great meal-prep breakfast!
The saying is that breakfast is the most important meal of the day, but it can be difficult to find the time to eat a good breakfast.
Mornings are busy, and it helps to have a portable breakfast that you can grab and eat as you head out the door.
These Sausage Egg Muffins make a perfect on-the-go breakfast. They are pre-portioned and portable. And they’re packed with a lot of good stuff in one little muffin.
These sausage egg muffins are also awesome because they reheat well. So you can make a batch on Monday and have breakfast ready to heat up on Tuesday.
How to make sausage egg muffins
Step 1: Preheat oven to 350 F. Grease a 12-cup muffin tin.
Step 2: Microwave sausage according to package directions. Set aside.
Step 3: Whisk eggs together with salt and pepper.
Step 4: Cut sausage into pieces, and divide sausage, spinach, and cheese among muffin cups.
Step 5: Pour eggs over the top.
Step 6: Bake for 15-25 minutes, or until done.
Step 7: Let cool in pan for 10 minutes before serving.
Step 8: Chill any leftover sausage egg muffins.
Recipe Tips!
- Greasing the pan: It’s important to grease the pan well. Greasing the pan well will help when it comes time to remove the egg muffins from the pan.
- Spinach: Be sure that pieces of spinach aren’t sticking out of the egg mixture. If the spinach is sticking out of the egg mixture, it will get crispy and overcooked.
- Vegetables: Feel free to use leftover cooked vegetables, like bell peppers and onions, in place of the spinach.
- Sausage: I’ve used turkey sausage and chicken sausage in this recipe. Both have worked well.
- Meat: Cooked and cubed ham or cooked and crumbed bacon would also work in this recipe.
Storage
Store any leftover egg muffins in an airtight container in the refrigerator. The egg muffins will keep for up to 4 days when properly stored in the fridge.

Pamela Rollins says
Haven’t tried the recipe yet. Was wondering if I could put a toast round in the bottom of the muffin tin.
Kate says
I think you could. You may need to make additional egg muffins so that they aren’t too full, but I think the toast round would work fine.
Mary says
What’s the best way to reheat them
Kate says
I just reheat them in the microwave for about 20-30 seconds each.
