SCRAMBLED EGG MUFFINS

This basics of this recipe are from a Quick Cooking 1999 magazine.

1/2 lb Premium Jimmy Dean Premium Pork (or turkey) roll sausage
12 eggs
1/2 cup chopped onion
1/4 cup chopped green bell pepper
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp garlic powder
1/4 tsp pepper
1/2 cup shredded low-fat cheddar cheese

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

In a large skillet, cook the sausage over medium heat until no longer pink. Stir while cooking to break up into crumbles; drain well.

In a large bowl, beat the eggs until fluffy. Stir in the onion, bell pepper, and spices until combined. Stir in the drained sausage and the cheese.

Lightly spray 12 muffin cups with nonstick cooking spray. Place 1/3 cup of the egg mixture into each muffin cup.

Bake at 350 degrees for 20 to 25 minutes or until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean.

Yield: 12 muffins

Note: Also good with fried, crumbled bacon along with or in place of the sausage.
