Broccoli & Sausage Egg Muffins

Mmm, egg muffins. Perfect for fancy-ish breakfasts or for breakfast-for-dinner. And so easy to whip up! I like to half the recipe and just make six for Jeff and me (which makes it a perfect use of the extra 1/2 lb of Italian sausage after you make this chili!).

Recipe adapted from here.

Ingredients:
1 lb Italian sausage
1 cup broccoli florets, cooked and chopped into small pieces
8 large eggs, beaten
1/4 cup milk
1/2 tbsp vegetable oil
1/2 tsp baking powder
salt and pepper, to taste
grated Parmesan cheese, to taste

Directions:
1. In a large skillet over medium heat, brown Italian sausage until no longer pink (about 5-6 minutes). Add in broccoli and remove from heat.
2. Whisk together eggs, milk, oil, baking powder, salt and pepper.
3. Lightly spray a 12-muffin pan with cooking spray. Spoon the broccoli-sausage mixture evenly into each muffin hole.
4. Pour the egg mixture over the broccoli-sausage mixture. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.
5. Bake at 375 for 15-20 minutes.
