How To Make the Perfect Egg and Sausage Muffins!
Ingredients
- eggs
- breakfast sausage
- canned coconut milk: make sure to get this unsweetened! This is the best dairy-free alternative to creating that creamy smooth texture in the eggs.
- tomato
- onion
- dairy-free shredded mozzarella cheese: I use this dairy-free alternative instead of regular shredded cheese and can’t tell the difference!
- canned diced chilies
- lime juice
- spices: salt/pepper, dried parsley, garlic cloves (or garlic powder).
Step by Step Instructions
- Sauté the garlic and onions in olive oil. Then, crumble in the sausage and cook together until the sausage is cooked.
- Whisk the eggs in a large bowl and add in the cooked sausage mixture, parsley, coconut milk, tomatoes, cheese, chilies, and lime juice. Season with salt and pepper and mix together until combined.
- Fill each muffin cup halfway up with the sausage and egg mixture. Repeat for the whole muffin pan.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes, until set.

Peachy Tips & Tricks
Egg and Sausage Muffins Pro Tips
- Make sure to always cook the onions, garlic, and sausage together before adding to the egg mixture. This gives the sausage a little extra flavor.
- Always grease your muffin tins. If not the eggs will stick.
- Only fill each muffin cup with 1/2 to 3/4 of the egg mixture. This ensures it won’t overflow.
- Let your muffins cool for about 10 minutes before attempting to remove them. Run a small spatula around the inside walls of the muffin holes to help loosen them before removing them.
Storage
Refrigerator: Store leftover egg and sausage muffins in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days and reheat when ready to serve.
Freezer: Store your sausage muffins in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 3 months. Reheat when ready to serve.
FAQs
Yes! With just 2.3 net carbs per egg cup, this is the perfect low-carb keto breakfast.
Yes! If you are not dairy-free and would prefer to use regular shredded cheddar cheese or mozzarella cheese for your egg and sausage muffins, substitute the same quantity as the dairy-free mozzarella cheese. You can also replace coconut milk with heavy cream!
This is the perfect recipe for meal prep. Make a batch on Sunday and store them in separate glass containers for easy grab-and-go snacks, breakfasts, or lunches. To reheat, simply wrap in a damp paper towel and pop in the microwave for 30-40 seconds. Top with hot sauce or dairy-free sour cream and enjoy!
