Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 12-cup muffin tin with 1 tbsp olive oil.
  2. Step 2: Remove casings from 8 oz breakfast sausage and crumble into a skillet over medium heat. Cook for 6-7 minutes until browned and cooked through, then drain excess fat.
  3. Step 3: In a large bowl, whisk 8 large eggs with 1 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp black pepper until frothy.
  4. Step 4: Add the cooked sausage, 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese, 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley, and 1 tbsp chopped fresh chives into the eggs. Stir gently to combine.
  5. Step 5: Divide the mixture evenly among the 12 muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.
  6. Step 6: Bake for 18-20 minutes until the egg muffins are set, puffed, and lightly golden on top.
  7. Step 7: Let cool for 5 minutes before removing from the tin. Serve warm or store for an easy keto breakfast throughout the week.
