Make a breakfast sandwich with English muffins, crisp bacon, Candian bacon, and a slice of cheese. Toast the English muffins in a toaster oven for 1-2 minutes, and stack the sandwiches together!
Or serve egg muffins on a plate with patties of turkey sausage, sausage links, oven-baked hash browns, or pancake muffins with a big bowl of fresh fruit or pastries for a brunch party!
Flavor Swaps, Variations & Additions
- Different Vegetables: Try some finely diced onions, green onions, red peppers like Tuscan peppers or sweet Italian peppers, fresh spinach, cherry tomatoes, or zucchini in your egg muffin cups.
- Herbs: Slice some basil ribbons, thyme, or sage and add those into your egg bites.
- Cheeses & Cream: Use Colby jack, goat cheese, feta cheese, or cheddar cheese. Or try Greek yogurt in place of heavy cream, it works great!
- Seasonings: In place of garlic salt, swap in either garlic powder or onion powder. If you like it spicier, add some red pepper flakes! Or you can add a dry mustard powder in place of Dijon mustard.
- Meats: Sausage crumbles that are precooked are great in sausage egg cups. You can use any ground pork sausage or chicken sausage in sausage muffins. Just cook the meat first.
