Mini Sausage, Egg, and Cheese Cups

I had some time this morning to try a recipe that has been staring at me for about two weeks. My children refuse to eat the crust of the bread, and I can't stand to throw it away.. so it goes into a Ziploc Freezer bag until I can find something to make with it. Well, today I decided to make Mini Egg Muffins. The kids really enjoyed them, and I was able to "Sneak" a few things in without them knowing! Plus they love that they fit in their hands and they don't overwhelm them on their plate. Also, you can make a batch of these up and pop them into your freezer, then all you do is pull one out and pop in the toaster oven, or microwave if your really short on time!

Mini Sausage, Egg, and Cheese Cups

Makes 6 Egg Cups

6 Organic Omega 3 enriched Eggs

1/4 Cup milk

1/2 of your favorite Sausage (All Natural Pork sausage is what I used)

2 Cups bread crusts/cubed bread

Shredded cheese of choice to sprinkle on top

Salt and Pepper for seasoning

2 TBSP Wheat Germ or Flax Seed

Cook sausage according to directions until done. Whisk the eggs, milk, wheat germ or flax, salt and pepper in a bowl. Pour into a wet measuring cup. Spray your muffin tin with Organic Pam, or rub a little oil in cups. Cut up bread pieces small and put them at the bottom of the cups. Sprinkle with the cooked sausage. Press the filling down a little. Pour egg mixture over the bread and sausage and sprinkle with cheese. Bake in a 35o degree oven for approximately 25 min or until the egg has set and is slightly browned. Let cool 5 minutes before removing from pan!

I love that you can mix these up with different ingredients so there can be some variety. Add ham, bacon, veggies, & different cheeses! You could even add a vegetable puree into the egg mixture and the kids would never know it. Next time I may try it with homemade hash browns.. remember NO processed packaged foods. Buy a baking potato and use your boxed grater!!
