Mother’s Day is this weekend! I hope y’all are planning to spoil your moms and thank them for all they do! Every mom loves breakfast in bed from their kids on Mother’s Day, so I thought I’d share a simple, delicious recipe for these Sausage and Veggie Egg Muffins!
These were SO GOOD! Each muffin was packed full of sausage and bell peppers, and the basil on top really brought out the fresh flavors! They also make great “on-the-go” breakfasts since they can easily be refrigerated/frozen and reheated later for a mess-free breakfast. So you can show mom you love her with a whole WEEK full of breakfast muffins! Hooray for mom not having to make her own breakfast every morning before work! Each one is actually really filling. I was full after just one and they left me feeling satisfied until lunch.
Feel free to get creative with what you put in your muffins. You can use spinach, broccoli, bacon, a variety of herbs, etc. so you could have a variety!
Ingredients
- 1 lb ground turkey sausage (or pork)
- ½ of a medium red bell pepper, diced
- 3 tablespoons minced onion

- Salt and Pepper, to taste
- 1/4 c chopped basil
Directions

- Brown sausage over medium high until cooked through, and no pink remains.
