Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Place eggs in a saucepan, cover with cold water by 1 inch, and bring to a rolling boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, cover, remove from heat, and let sit for 12 minutes. Transfer eggs to an ice bath for 5 minutes, then peel and slice into 1/2-inch rounds.
  2. Step 2: Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add sausage patties and cook for 5 minutes per side until golden and cooked through, then slice into 1/4-inch pieces.
  3. Step 3: In a medium bowl, combine sliced sausage, egg slices, 1/2 cup shredded carrots, 2 tbsp chopped parsley, 1/4 tsp sea salt, and a pinch of black pepper. Gently mix until evenly distributed.
  4. Step 4: Portion mixture into 4 individual muffin cups and refrigerate for 1 hour to set before serving, ensuring they hold shape for easy portability.
