Egg Muffin Ingredients

Seasoning: you’ll need salt, pepper, and a bit of garlic powder to season the eggs.
Hot Sauce: for just a little spice and flavor, we’re using a generous dash of hot sauce.
Breakfast Sausage: feel free to use whatever breakfast sausage you prefer. I love to use ground chicken breakfast sausage but pork will work, too!
Veggies: these egg muffin cups are loaded with fresh veggies like sweet potatoes, yellow onion, and bell pepper.
Avocado Oil Spray: this helps to keep the egg muffins from sticking to the pan while baking.
Helpful Kitchen Tools
