Making Sausage Green Chile Egg Muffins
I know there are lots of recipes floating around for egg muffins but hear me out. I am not someone who can eat a huge plate of scrambled eggs…I have to be in the mood for eggs and honestly I never know when that’s going to be! There is one thing I do know…I despise dry eggs. Whether they be scrambled or in a frittata or quiche, I like my eggs creamy and velvety! Dry and flavorless eggs are not good eats!
Sausage Green Chile Egg muffins are packed full of savory sausage, flavorful green chiles, gooey cheese with creamy velvety eggs holding it all together…sounds dreamy huh?! The secret to this yummy egg muffin is the addition of sour cream and salsa to the eggs!
Are you dairy free?
Feel free to substitute your favorite dairy free cheese or leave it out completely and substitute full fat coconut milk for the sour cream…they will be amazing! You can also leave the sour cream out…your muffins will be a bit more fluffy but still DELISH!
Preparing the pans for the egg muffins
Preparing the pans for the egg muffins is so important! If using a muffin tin, make sure to grease each muffin cup well. Eggs are notorious for sticking and cleaning the pan will not be fun! To stay safe use parchment muffin liners or a silicone muffin pan.
Make a batch of these Sausage Green Chile Egg Muffins on Sunday and you are set for the week! Quick and easy, they can me in the oven in less than 15 minutes!
