Sausage, Egg, and Cheese Muffins
I will be the first to admit that I struggle at breakfast. I love a good hearty breakfast, but since I am a high school teacher, I leave the house super early and don’t have a second to prepare a healthy breakfast for anyone! This works for me since I intermittent fast, but I feel guilty that there is nothing for anyone else to eat! Enter these make ahead sausage egg and cheese muffins! I can make a big batch of these on Sunday and can freeze for busy mornings!
My husband wakes up starving. He can roll out of bed and immediately down a giant breakfast so he loves these little protein packed muffins because they fill him up and hold him over till lunch time. I don’t consider cereal a real breakfast (I know I know, it is an unpopular opinion) because there is no protein or nutrition. These muffins have protein from the cheese, sausage, and egg and the veggies help add fiber and flavor!
