Healthy Sausage and Egg Muffins FAQ’s
What’s the easiest way to scoop batter into muffin tins?
Using a spoon or pouring the batter in from the bowl can be messy and time consuming. Instead, I HIGHLY recommend using this medium cookie scoop which makes it super quick and easy.
Plus, you can use these scoops for scooping cookies, muffins, breads, and cake batter, making them a great purchase.
Can you make egg muffins ahead of time?
Yes! This recipe is super easy to prep ahead the night before for quick baking the next morning, or you can bake them and refrigerate and re-heat in the microwave each morning.
If you want to bake them fresh, simply cook your sausage, chop your spinach, and combine all the ingredients in a large mixing bowl. Place the lid on the bowl and refrigerate until you are ready to bake them.
How do I store leftover sausage and egg muffins?
Store any leftovers in an airtight container or Ziploc baggie in the refrigerator for up to 7 days. You can also freeze these muffins for up to 3 months.
Can you reheat breakfast egg muffins?
Yes! That’s another reason I love these sausage and egg muffins so much because you can store them in the fridge and reheat for breakfast each morning in the microwave.
Simply place in the microwave for 15-30 seconds, until warm.
What to serve with egg muffin cups?
These egg muffins are pretty great by themselves, but they also taste awesome alongside fresh fruit or paired with a slice of my healthy banana bread.
Why are my egg muffins rubbery?
If for some reason your egg muffins are rubbery, that means you either a. overcooked them or b. overheated them when re-heating in the microwave.
I always recommend baking at the lowest recommended time first to avoid overcooking them and heat for 10-15 seconds in the microwave at a time to avoid scorching them.

- Prep Time: 5 minutes
- Cook Time: 12 minutes
- Total Time: 17 minutes
- Yield: 14-16 1x
- Category: Breakfast
- Method: Oven
- Cuisine: American
Ingredients
- 14 large eggs
- 1 pound Whole30-compliant breakfast turkey sausage or this turkey sausage if not Whole30
- 2 cups fresh spinach, chopped
- 1 tsp salt-free Mrs. Dash Onion & Herb Seasoning (or other salt-free seasoning)
- black pepper, to taste
- 3–4 drops of hot sauce (optional, if desired)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F and spray a 12 count muffin tin with non-stick cooking spray.
- Next, cook your ground turkey sausage in a large skillet over medium-high heat, until fully cooked and brown. Drain your meat and set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk 14 large eggs until smooth.
- Add in 1 tsp onion and herb seasoning, and pepper to taste. If you like a little kick, add in a few dashes of hot sauce. Whisk until combined.
- Lastly, fold in chopped spinach and cooked ground turkey sausage, and stir until combined.
- Use a medium cookie scoop to fill each muffin tin with the sausage and egg mixture. I usually fill them so that they are almost full because they will shrink slightly when they bake. You should also have enough mixture leftover for 2-4 additional muffins.
- If desired, sprinkle the tops with a little more pepper and/or onion and herb mixture.
- Bake in the oven at 400 degrees for 12-15 minutes, or until the eggs are fully cooked through.
- Let cool in the pan for 5 minutes on a wire cooling rack before removing and serving.
Notes
- Store any leftovers in an airtight container or Ziploc baggie in the refrigerator for up to 7 days. You can also freeze these muffins for up to 3 months.
- Re-heat sausage and egg muffin cups in the microwave for 15-30 seconds or until warm.

Hi! If I want to add some cheese, would you recommend mixing in at the front end? Or, putting on top before or after baking? ๐
Hi Katie! I’d recommend adding it into each muffin cup and giving it a quick stir before baking that way you can better control the amount in each. Enjoy!
Hi! I have made these a couple times now, and I love them!
I was wondering if frozen spinach could be replaced for the fresh???
Thank you!
So glad to hear you love them, Kerstin! And yes, you can also use frozen – you would just need to make sure you thaw and completely drain it and blot with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
Iโve noticed all the other recipes I found call for 10 eggs which produces 12 egg muffins. The yield on this is 14-16, yet it says to use a 12 cup muffin tin. Iโm confusedโฆ
Hi, Bonnie! You can fill them up fuller to make 12 egg muffins, but I typically fill them a little less full and make 14-16 so they stretch further for my kids and I. You can adjust however you like to fit you and your family’s needs, we just prefer a smaller portion.
I love it but what are the nutritional values ?
Hi Gwen, you can easily copy/paste everything into a nutrition calculator. Hope you’ll give it a try! ๐
