  • “We really enjoyed these little gems!I used chopped ham in place of the sausage — just a personal preference that my family has.I also sauteed the onion (I used green onion) and bell peppers and then added the ham for a couple minutes as well. I might pump up the garlic powder a little bit the next time I make these.I also went a little heavy on the cheese.I baked these in my silicone muffin pans and they fell right out after baking.I did increase the baking time to about 30 minutes.I wrapped the leftover ones and have them in the freezer — plus I did reheat one yesterday morning and it turned out great — just about 20-25 seconds in the microwave.I think you could also add some chopped brocolli or shredded zucchini — or even some hash browns to these.Thank you, Nicole for posting this recipe.”

  • “These are terrific!!!They have transformed our breakfast rush into a calm and peaceful dance!!Best of all they take about a minute in the microwave to go from frozen to a hot brekky!!I have used pork, italian, farmers,and turkey sausage.I have added 1/2 c. frozen hash browns to the mix as well as many different kinds of cheeses.We love these muffins and they are a nice change from the usual breakfast fare.Thank you for sharing!”

  • “I made this for a Fathers Day potluck at church today.I originally found the recipe in one of my mothers cookbooks and copied it down.They went over great I even got asked for the recipe.Next time I might try bacon or ham.”

  • “Turned out great, quick and easy! I didn’t have sausage so I made mine into a mock pizza flavor, add tomatoes, green pepper, red onion, pizza seasoning, pizza cheeses and pepperoni.(that is what the red strips are in my pic.) Wallah! Turned out wonderfully, kids loved them. Thanks for a great recipe!”

  • “Tasty, quick, and these reheat well from the fridge.I used turkey bulk sausage; I sauteed the onion and green peppers with the sausage and also added sliced mushrooms and about a tsp diced jalapeno.These baked up very fluffy, and I just stored them in a ziplock bag in the refrigerator for quick work-week breakfasts.*Oh, and you DO need to REALLY coat the muffin pans with spray, probably more than you think. A few of mine stuck and I’d coated the pan pretty well.”

  • “Nice simple recipe that is easy to adjust to personal taste.I cut it in halfas there’s only 3 of us but think they’d make great left overs or an easy breakfast for a crowd.I first sauted some chopped onion and red peppers and used bacon instead of sausage as that’s what I had – also went heavy on the cheese and it worked out fine.I did find that 15 minutes in my oven was about right.Like another reviewers idea of adding hash browns and think I’d then make them in my BIG muffin tins to accommodate it all.”

  • “I Made These This Morning. I Was Trying To Find A Way To Use Up A Roll Of Pork Sausage. Im Not A Big Fan Of Pork Sausage…These Were Fabulous!I sauTeed An Onion Half A Red Pepper & A Few Shrooms. I Used About 3/4 Lb Of Sausage & 10 Eggs.Measuring Them Out @ 1/3 Cup Each It Made 13 Muffins. As Reccommended I Sprayed The Muffin Pans Generously With canola Oil.No Problem Getting Them Out Of The Pans.Thanks For A Great New Bfast Idea!!:-D”

  • “These are simple to make, taste great and you can modify the recipe to your own liking.One equals about one egg.They also freeze very well, takes roughly 45 sec. in microwave to thaw/heat.Thanks Nicole for sharing your version of this!”

  • “I made these today and they are very good. I only used 10 eggs and 2 tbsp. of heavy cream . I added 1/4 tsp onion powder 1/4 tsp mustard powder. I cooked my sausage and cooked the veggies with sausage for the last minute or two. These are very nice and full of meat and veggies. I had no problems with sticking. I will be making these often. These are great when you are low carbing. Thanks for the recipe.”

  • “While they were easy to make, they were a bit time consuming considering the end result, which I thought was okay but nothing special.And, having read some reviews about them sticking badly, I used paper liners and they stuck to those, too.Probably won’t make them again, but thanks for sharing the recipe, anyway.”

  • “We made these this past weekend.I used cayenne pepper instead of garlic (to limit garlic breath in the early morning).I reduced the size to ¼ cup of mix per muffin to ensure they did not exceed the muffin tin.Two of these reduced sized muffins seemed to be enough.Topped with “Red Hot” to add some more spice.”

  • “These are a nice, quick breakfast.My only recommendation is to definitely use some muffin cups.I greased my favorite muffin tin. The one that the muffins always slide right out of.Not only did these stick to them something awful, but I really had to scrub to get the tin clean, even after soaking!I substituted ham for pork sausage and left out the green peppers.They reheat nicely out of the fridge, so I plan to freeze a few and see how that does.Thanks for sharing”

  • “I made these for breakfast this morning – Very good!I used bacon, because that’s what I had available.I also sauteed the onion and pepper with the bacon, because I thought they would still be crunchy just baking for 25 minutes.I’m going to try freezing the left overs, too.Then making sandwiches out of them between a toasted english muffin.Thank you, Nicole, for posting this here.”

  • “Great, east to make recipe.I also use chopped Bacon, and/or diced ham.Wonderful to freeze, 5 seconds in the microwave and ready to eat.Wonderful!I use an aluminum liner in the muffin pan and the muffins are easy to remove from the wrapper.Enjoy!Oh, I also sprinkle a bit of cheese on the top.”

  • “Sorry forgot to rate it….a 5!”

  • “Easy and great tasting. I made these this morning with sausage, red and yellow peppers, mushrooms, onions and sharp cheddar. The options are endless!”

  • “These tasted good but they were really puffy in the oven but as soon as I pulled them out they fell. Not sure what I could have done wrong. They still tasted good they just didn’t look the best. I did cook my peppers and onions before adding.”

  • “Great flavors, and super versatile! I made this for my husband who often has clients to train very early in the morning. These are great, he just grabs a few and goes. Thank you for a great recipe!”

  • “These were very easy and tasty right out of the oven. I don’t agree with the freezing and reheating of other reviewers. I put two in each freezer bag with the intention of taking them to work for breakfast. Unfortunately, when I thawed and reheated them they are very kitchen sponge like and blah. I threw the rest of them out that I had frozen. Oh well trial and error. Again, very good change of pace for a weekend breakfast, Thanks for sharing!”

  • “These were very good.I usedMorningstar Farms vegetarian sausage, crumbled and browned, and red bell pepper.I froze them andthey are good when microwaved.Great for busy mornings!”
