Ingredients
- 5 eggs
- 1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1/2 - 3/4 cup ground pork sausage see notes
- 1/2 - 3/4 cup fresh spinach ripped into small pieces
- 1/4 large red bell pepper diced
Instructions
- Prep: Preheat oven to 350℉. Spray muffin tin with a non-stick cooking spray and set aside.
- Whisk: In a large bowl, whisk together 5 eggs, 1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk, 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt and 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper.
- Sausage: Bring a cast iron skillet to a medium-high heat, add 1/2 - 3/4 cup ground pork sausage, move around the pan and break apart. Continue cooking until browned.
- Assemble: Take the prepared muffin tin and add a tablespoon or so of cooked sausage, a tablespoon of ripped spinach, and a tablespoon of diced bell pepper to each muffin well. Pour the egg mixture over top, filing so there is a little room left at the top (it will expand and rise as it cooks - but will deflate once it cools).
- Bake: Place in the preheated oven for about 17 minutes of cook time. Remove from oven, if the top isn't fully cooked, return to oven for 2-3 minute increments until fully cooked.
- Serve: Enjoy immediately or store for later in the fridge.

- Storage: store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
