These egg cups were inspired by my Southwestern Frittata. Have you tried it yet?

I love all things southwestern- the colors, the clothes, the weather and yes, the food. I strive to create easy, fun and flavorful recipes and I do believe this one is no exception. It is packed with ingredients that will fill you up in the morning and not give you those 10 am cravings.

Ingredients to make Sausage and Veggie Egg Cups

• Eggs
• Ground Breakfast Pork Sausage
• Green Pepper
• Red Pepper
• Onion
• Russet Potatoes
• Chili Powder
• Black Pepper

How to Make

Pre-heat oven to 375 degrees. Spray the muffin tin with an avocado spray or use silicone cups.

Prep the peppers and onions and set aside. Peel the potatoes and using either an upright box cheese grater, grate the potatoes. If you want to save a little bit of time, you can place them in the food processor. After grating or processing, set aside.

In a skillet on medium heat, lightly brown the sausage and sprinkle in the chili powder.

In a large glass bowl, crack 10 eggs, sprinkle in black pepper and whisk together.

Combine all ingredients into the large bowl with the eggs and stir together.

Pour into individual muffin tin cups and bake in the oven for 20-25 minutes.
