Sausage & Egg Muffins

Who doesn’t love eggs and sausages in the morning… but do you really have time on a Tuesday morning while you’re running around the house trying to get ready for work to whip up a full breakfast? Yea… I didn’t think so.

These are perfect for breakfast, and great for a lunch. It takes about 20 minutes to prep, 25 to bake and you have easy breakfasts or lunches for the week. Meal prep at its finest! Now you can really add just about anything you want to these, but this sausage, onion and pepper combination is my personal favourite!

These muffins only require two sausages, and since they come in a pack of five, rather then freezing them I went ahead and mad Italian Stuffed Peppers. The best part about these individual muffins? You can freeze them! You’re not stuck eating them all week if you don’t want. Freeze the rest for later… and pop into the toaster oven to re-heat at a later date. #MomWin

This is a great source of protein and will help start your morning off right. You can easily pack these for lunch and add a slice of toast or a side salad to help round out the meal. One hour of cooking makes your week just that much easier and who doesn’t like that? If you want to save some for later, or breakfast on the go, wrap each in cellophane wrap (tightly) and place in a freezer bag. They are perfect to grab out of the freezer when you’re on the way out of the door. They will be defrosted by about the time you get to work!

Take one hour out of your day and make these amazing Sausage & Egg Muffins. Meal prep for the week is easy peasey and you end up with delicious breakfast or lunch!
