Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease the muffin tin with non-stick spray or butter.
  2. In a large skillet over medium heat, melt a tablespoon of butter and add the breakfast sausage, onion, and colored peppers. Cook for 5-6 minutes until browned.
  3. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk. Add salt, garlic powder, minced garlic, and black pepper, followed by half the cheddar cheese.
  4. Spoon the sausage and vegetable mixture into each muffin cup evenly.
  5. Pour the egg mixture over the sausage in each muffin cup, filling them about three-quarters full. Sprinkle the remaining cheddar cheese on top.
  6. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes until puffed and golden brown.
  7. Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for about 5 minutes before removing and transferring to a wire rack.
