School will be starting again soon, and I don’t know about you, but I’m already starting to dread our hectic mornings. My kids are not early risers, so getting them out the door and off to school with a hearty, protein-filled breakfast in their bellies can be a challenge.
Luckily these yummy freezer breakfast cupcakes are a snap to make in a large batch, then freeze ahead of time for a hot, hearty, delicious and FAST morning treat that my kids absolutely love.
Here is what you need:
6 pieces dry bread, diced 1 package of 12 turkey sausage links 10 eggs 1 cup milk 2 cups shredded cheese 1 teaspoon seasoned salt ¼ teaspoon pepper Cooking spray, butter or cupcake linersStep 1: Preheat oven to 350ºF. Brown sausage or other breakfast meat; slice into bite-sized pieces and set aside. (I used fully cooked sausage, so I did not have to brown it first.)
Step 2: Cut bread into small cubes and set aside.
Step 3: Whisk together eggs, milk, salt and pepper; set aside.
Step 4: Press cubed bread into bottoms of 18 greased muffin tins. (You could also use cupcake liners instead.)
Step 5: Divide cheese over top of bread.
Step 6: Divide meat over top of cheese.
Step 7: Carefully pour egg mixture over top of meat and cheese until each tin is full. Bake for 25-30 minutes, until egg is puffy and set.
Step 8: Serve immediately or let cool completely and freeze. To serve on busy mornings, simply microwave for 30-45 seconds until warm! Makes 18 muffins.
