Paleo-Friendly Meals: Sausage and Egg Muffins

Let’s be honest. Most mornings look like this: get up late, jump in the shower, do half your makeup, throw on clothes, and run out the door. Then what? Stop at Starbucks and order a coffee and a bagel or breakfast sandwich. Why? Because it’s quick and easy. Who has time to actually get up early and make breakfast? That’s definitely not me. So in an effort to straighten out this Paleo lifestyle, I began prepping weekday breakfast on Sunday! Read on for the recipe. grumpy-cat-meme-good-morning-no-such-thing_thumbGather your ingredients: eggs, sausage, broccoli, scallions, butter, salt, pepper, and cupcake liners.

You can use any sausage you like – I always buy Jones All Natural Sausage because it’s one of the few brands that don’t include sugar, fructose, cane juice… on and on. Be sure to read labels because corn syrup always sneaks in where you least expect it!
102_1059Chop the broccoli and scramble in with the eggs. Slice the scallions and set aside.
102_1062Slice the sausage and cook fully in a frying pan. Drain on a paper towel and set aside to cool. 102_1061Preheat the oven to 375°F. Line a muffin pan with cupcake liners and combine the ingredients. Pour in the eggs and top with the sausage and sliced scallions. Top it off with a small pat of butter. I have only 10 muffins pictured here, but the below recipe will make a dozen. I was running a little low on eggs 😉 102_1063Mmmmmmmmm…………………… Butter is a beautiful thing. Make sure to season with salt and pepper. Cook for 20 minutes.
