Grab 'n Go Breakfast: Egg Muffins with Sausage, Spinach and Cheese
Grab and go breakfasts are the best thing in the world. Other than chocolate. And maybe Mexican food. Anyway, I have a terrible time getting up in the morning. I love to sleep until the last possible minute so I rarely have time to sit down at the table and eat. Being able to grab something and take with me to eat in the car or once I get to work saves me.
These muffins are like a crustless quiche and taste phenomenal! They'll be great for breakfast next week!

Ingredients:
3 lean breakfast turkey sausage links
5 egg whites
2 whole eggs
1/4 cup skim milk
Salt and pepper, to taste
1/4 cup fresh chopped spinach
1/4 cup shredded sharp Cheddar cheese
Directions:
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. In a medium skillet, brown the turkey sausage links on medium-high heat. Cook until sausage is brown all the way through. Cut sausage into 1/2 inch pieces. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together egg whites and eggs. Whisk in skim milk and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Stir in the chopped spinach.
Grease 6 muffin tin cups with cooking spray or line cups paper liners. Pour egg mixture evenly into the muffin cups.
Distribute cheese and sausage equally between each muffin cup.
Bake egg muffins for 20 minutes or until the muffins are firm in the center. Remove from oven and gently go round each egg with a butter knife Serve warm.
Notes:
I used ground turkey instead of links and it turned out fine.
