Ingredients
  

6 large eggs

1/2 cup milk (or your favorite non-dairy alternative)

1 cup cooked and crumbled breakfast sausage (or plant-based sausage)

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

1 cup diced hatch green chilies (canned or fresh, roasted and peeled)

1/2 cup diced bell peppers (any color)

1/4 cup finely chopped onion

1 tsp garlic powder

1/2 tsp paprika

Salt and pepper to taste

Fresh cilantro or green onions for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a muffin tin with non-stick spray or line with muffin liners for easy removal.

    Prepare the Egg Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until well combined. Season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.

      Add Filling Ingredients: Stir in the cooked sausage, shredded cheddar cheese, hatch green chilies, diced bell peppers, and chopped onion into the egg mixture. Ensure everything is evenly distributed.

        Fill the Muffin Tin: Pour the egg mixture evenly into each muffin cup, filling them about 3/4 full to allow room for expansion while cooking.

          Bake: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the egg muffins are firm to the touch and lightly golden on top.

            Cool and Serve: Once baked, remove the muffin tin from the oven and let it cool for about 5 minutes. Carefully run a knife around the edges to loosen the muffins and gently pop them out.

              Garnish (Optional): Sprinkle fresh cilantro or chopped green onions on top for a burst of flavor and color.

                Enjoy: Serve warm as a hearty breakfast on their own or with a side of salsa for extra zest!
