These savory breakfast cups are a delicious and low-carb way to start your day, combining eggs, sausage, and cheese in a convenient muffin form.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Preheating ensures even cooking and proper texture.
Cook the ground sausage and hamburger meat in a skillet over medium heat until browned, then drain any excess grease.
Draining the grease helps reduce excess fat and keeps the cups from being too oily.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Whisking thoroughly ensures the eggs are evenly seasoned.
Add the cooked meat, diced bell pepper, and shredded cheddar cheese to the egg mixture, stirring to combine.
Mix gently to avoid breaking the ingredients into too small pieces.
Grease a muffin pan and pour the mixture into each cup, filling them about two-thirds full.
Greasing the pan prevents sticking and makes cleanup easier.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the eggs are set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Check the cups a few minutes before the end of the baking time to avoid overcooking.
Allow the breakfast cups to cool slightly before removing them from the pan. Serve warm and enjoy!
Letting them cool makes them easier to remove from the pan without breaking.
