Ingredients
  • 1 Tbsp olive oil, coconut oil or grass-fed butter
  • 2 organic bell peppers, diced [any color]
  • ½ yellow onion, diced
  • 2 cups organic baby spinach
  • 10 eggs
  • 4 organic chicken sausages, chopped into bite size pieces [I like the True Story® brand from Costco]
  • 1 cup shredded cheese [I chose white cheddar in this recipe, but any cheese you like works great!]
  • 1 tsp sea salt
  • ½ tsp black pepper
  • ¼ tsp red pepper flakes, optional
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  2. Heat large skillet to medium heat and add oil or butter.
  3. Add bell peppers and onions. Saute for 3-5 minutes until tender and starting to brown.
  4. Next add sausage. Cook for a few minutes until slightly browned [the sausages are already fully cooked].
  5. Last add fresh spinach and cook until wilted.
  6. Season mixture with ½ tsp sea salt, pepper and red pepper flakes.
  7. To assemble, add veggie and sausage mixture into individual muffin tins evenly.
  8. In a separate container, whisk together eggs and season with ½ tsp sea salt and pinch of black pepper.
  9. Pour egg mixture evenly into each muffin tin.
  10. Top with cheese.
  11. Bake in 350 degree oven for 30 minutes until the eggs are no longer runny.
  12. For a crispy, cheesy top, broil the muffins for 5 minutes.
  13. Once cooled, store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.
  14. serving suggestion: I usually eat 2 of these for breakfast or have one for an afternoon snack. You can heat them up or they also taste great cold.
