Ingredients
- 16 oz. quality ground sausage breakfast
- 1 tablespoon oil
- ¾ cup green onion
- 2 cups fresh baby spinach firmly packed
- ½ cup fresh basil chopped, loosely packed (if you do not have fresh basil you can sub 1 teaspoon dried basil)
- 8 eggs
- 1½ cups half & half
- 1¼ cup parmesan cheese fresh grated
- ½ teaspoon salt
- Pepper to taste
Directions
- Preheat your oven to 350° F.
- Add the 2 cups fresh baby spinach and ¾ cup green onion to a frying pan stirring occasionally, until the spinach is wilted, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat, add the ½ cup fresh basil, and stir to combine. Set aside and let cool for a few minutes.
- In a medium-sized bowl, whisk the 8 eggs, 1 ½ cups half & half, ½ teaspoon salt, and pepper to taste until the eggs and milk are smooth.
- Prep your muffin tin by spraying each cup with cooking spray, or coating with oil.
- In a large skillet add 1 tablespoon olive oil and cook the sausage until it is cooked through and crumbled. If there is excess oil drain the fat from the sausage before moving on.
- Divide the sausage mixture evenly into the muffin cups. Pour enough egg mixture so that it is almost to the top of each cup.
- Sprinkle each cup with Parmesan cheese.
- Bake for 15-18 minutes until the cheese is bubbly and cooked through the center. Let cool for 5 minutes before removing them from the muffin tin.
- You may need to run a knife around the edge of each muffin cup to remove them from the pan.
Recipe Note
These are great with either Wood's Vermont Ghosted Maple Syrup or Wood's Vermont Traditional Maple Syrup drizzled over the top.
