A complete breakfast in one delicious package.
RECIPE:
Sausage and Cheddar Egg Bites
Serves 6
INGREDIENTS
6 large eggs
1/2 cup half and half
2 dashes of hot sauce (optional)
1 cup pork sausage, browned and cooked through
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1/2 cup shredded potatoes (we recommend store-bought)
1/4 cup scallions, sliced
1 tbsp butter, melted
Salt and pepper, to taste
INSTRUCTIONS
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
Crack the eggs into a large bowl and whisk until the eggs are uniform and fluffy. Add the half-and-half and hot sauce if using. Generously season with salt and black pepper.
Using a pastry brush, grease each of the six wells of a nonstick muffin pan with melted butter. Begin the assembly process by adding in a tablespoon of shredded potato. Next, layer in a tablespoon of sausage, then a teaspoon of scallions. Pour the egg mixture into each well until it has just reached the top. Add a teaspoon of shredded cheese to the top, gently pushing down to submerge some cheese into the egg.
- Bake in the oven for 20 minutes, and then turn the oven up to broil for an additional 2-5 minutes to brown the cheesy crust. Allow to slightly cool before serving.
Everything you love about a good frittata, but made in a fraction of the time.
Gruyere melts beautifully and has a sharp, nutty flavor that perfectly compliments the asparagus and spinach. This is also a great way to work a few extra green veggies into your daily routine.
