Italian Sausage & Broccoli Egg Muffin Recipe
This egg muffin recipe is perfect for quick and easy breakfasts, easy lunch ideas and make ahead lunches! Make a batch and freeze them so you always have breakfast or lunch ready to go!
I LOVE easy breakfast and lunch ideas and these egg muffin cups are BOTH! I have shared my sausage and veggie mini omelettes recipe with you and this is another variation of that idea. These freezer breakfast sandwiches are another favorite, freezer-friendly breakfast idea. Now, on to the egg muffin cups! They are SO easy and SO delicious!
Egg Muffin Cups
These are called egg muffin cups because you make them in a muffin tin so they come out like little muffin cups. The tin makes the perfect single-size portion so it works great! The trick is to make sure you grease the muffin cups so the eggs don’t stick. Don’t forget this step!
The nice thing about this recipe is that you can switch it up any way you like! It is a very forgiving recipe. Don’t like sausage? That’s okay, use ground turkey instead! Not a broccoli fan? Substitute diced bell peppers instead. This recipe is also a fun way to use up any straggler veggies in the fridge before they go bad. Toss whatever you have on hand into this recipe and you’ll have an ever-changing recipe that never gets boring.
How To Make Egg Muffin Cups
You’ll begin by frying your sausage (or ground turkey, beef, chicken, etc) in a pan on the stove. Drain the grease and set it aside. Then, in a bowl you’ll whisk together the eggs and other ingredients (scroll down for full recipe). Remember this recipe is very forgiving so feel free to swap veggies and proteins for each other. Add whatever spices are your favorite as well. Don’t be afraid to get creative with this recipe.
Grease the muffin tin. I like using Pam olive oil spray. Then the protein will go in the muffin cups first, topped by your egg mixture. You can sprinkle the tops with cheese if you want to but it is not required. Pop them in the oven and in about 20 minutes you’ll have delicious egg muffin cups!
You can either eat them immediately (for breakfast yum) or refrigerate or freeze them for future use in lunches! I like to make double or triple batches and freeze them so we always have quick breakfast options or ready to pack lunch ideas on hand. Have you read my post on how to pack lunches your kids will actually eat? This is one of the recipes I promised to share.
Common Questions:
How Long Do You Cook Egg Muffins?
Cook egg muffins for 15-20 minutes at 375 degrees F or until egg is baked through.
Can You Freeze Egg Muffins?
Yes, you can freeze egg muffins. I like to wrap each muffin individually in plastic wrap or foil and then put them all in a gallon freezer bag. Then you can grab however many you need from the freezer and add them to lunches or warm them up in the oven for breakfast. You can also microwave them.
Can I use cupcake liners for egg muffins?
I don’t suggest using paper liners for egg muffins but you can use silicone cupcake liners for egg muffins. They work great!
What temp do you bake egg muffins at?
Bake egg muffins at 375 degrees for 15-20 minutes.
How do you clean a muffin pan with baked-on egg?
Immediately after your pan has cooled, fill with warm soap water and allow it to soak for a bit. Then use a scour scrubbie (such as ScrubDaddy sponges) that won’t damage the non-stick finish but will scrape the egg off.

HOW I WAS CURED FROM HERPES VIRUS
I am writing this testimonial with immense gratitude and a renewed sense of hope in my heart. For years, I battled with the physical and emotional torment caused by the herpes virus. It felt like an unending struggle, until I discovered a remarkable solution that changed my life forever.
Like many others, I had tried countless remedies, medications and therapies in search of a cure. I had lost hope, resigned to the belief that herpes was something I would have to live with indefinitely. However, fate intervened and led me to a breakthrough that altered the course of my life.
Upon stumbling upon a revolutionary treatment option, my skepticism slowly transformed into a flicker of hope. The treatment was a natural remedy from Dr Awase [ HERBS ]
Over time, as I followed the treatment diligently, I started noticing positive changes and I experienced a boost in my overall well-being. I am ecstatic to share that I am now herpes-free confirmed by my Dr after a test was done. The treatment I received was nothing short of miraculous and I couldn’t be more grateful. I have regained my self-confidence and the burden that once weighed heavily upon me has been lifted. I was cured of my herpes virus through natural medication.
If you, like me, have been struggling with herpes and searching for a way out, please know that hope exists. May my story inspire hope in the hearts of those who need it. He also specializes in getting rid of HPV, OVARIAN CYST, PCOS, HEPATITIS and a lot more.
