tips for making sweet potato and chorizo egg muffins

These sweet potato and egg muffins are really simple to make, but I do have a few tips for making sure that you get the best egg muffins every single time.

Egg muffin making tips:

• Be sure to grease your muffin tin well before adding the anything to them to ensure that the egg muffins do not stick

make ahead tips for sweet potato and chorizo egg muffins

If you are making these to meal prep for the week, I suggest storing them in a air-tight container for up to 3 days. I have not had the best experience with freezing and reheating egg muffins.

If you want to do some prep work in advance to make things even easier, here are my best tips and tricks:

• Roast the sweet potatoes a day or two in advance so that you can easily assemble your sweet potato and chorizo mixture.

• Pre-dice the peppers and onions.

• Make the chorizo and sweet potato mixture in advance, let cool, and then freeze. When you are ready to bake your egg muffins, let the egg mixture thaw and then assemble your muffins for baking.

• sliced avocado

• sautéed spinach

• fresh greens

• sliced cheese

Sweet Potato and Chorizo Egg Muffins

Serves: 3-4

Prep Time: 10 minutes

Cook Time: 25 minutes

Ingredients:

• 8 eggs

• 1/2 cup full-fat coconut milk

• 1 tsp salt

• 1/2 tsp garlic powder

• 1 tbsp hot sauce (optional)

• 1/2 pound chorizo (if you don’t have chorizo, you can sub regular sausage)

• 1/4 cup diced, roast sweet potatoes

• 1/4 cup finely diced onion

• 1/4 cup diced green bell pepper

Method:

1. Heat a skillet over medium heat and then add the chorizo and break it up as it browns.

2. When the sausage has browned, add the diced peppers and onions to the skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes until they begin to become tender. Add the cooked sweet potatoes and remove the skillet from the heat.

3. Whisk the eggs, coconut milk, hot sauce, salt, pepper, and garlic in a large mixing bowl until well combined. Grease your muffin tin with a little oil to prevent any sticking. Divide the sausage mixture evenly among the lined muffin cups.⠀

4. Pour the whisked eggs over the sausage mixture. Bake the egg muffins at 350 degrees for 25-30 minutes until the egg is set and no longer runny.
