Savory Breakfast Muffins
Ingredients
- 1 lb turkey sausage
- 4 eggs
- ¼ C milk
- 1 C 2% cottage cheese
- 1 TBSP olive oil
- 1 TBSP maple syrup
- 1½ C all purpose flour
- 2 tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp salt
- 12 oz chopped broccoli florets
- 3 TBSP finely sliced green onions
- 1 C cheddar cheese shredded
Directions
- Preheat your oven to 400F.
- Remove the sausages from the casing and cook them in a medium skillet over medium-high heat until browned and no longer pink in colour. Set aside and allow the cooked sausage meat to cool.
- To a large mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, cottage cheese, olive oil and maple syrup.
- To the same bowl, add all purpose flour, baking powder and salt. Mix well using a wooden spoon or silicone spatula.
- Add your cooked sausages, chopped vegetables, green onions and cheese (I recommend leaving some cheese to add to the tops of your muffins).
- Divide batter evenly between 12 muffin cavities, about 4 heaping tablespoon (one heaping ¼ cup) of batter per muffin. Top with additional cheese and bake for 23-27 minutes.
