Number Of Ingredients 15

use finely shredded cheese (get a bag of 4-cheese mix)
1/2 lb of sausage
roasted red bell-peppers, chopped/diced (one or two larg slices out of the jar or your own)
pinch of black pepper
pinch garlic powder
pinch cumin
pinch basil/garlic spice-mix
pinch parsley
pinch dill weed
pinch course sea salt
pinch splenda or sugar
1 Tbsp dried chopped onion (can use fresh satueed, i didn't bother, with it being such a small amount)
3 Tbsp flour
8 8 eggs, or 1 pint egg beaters
1/2 c milk

Steps:

1. Preheat oven to 375 dF. Spray muffin tins with non-stick spray.
2. Brown sausage partially then add spices, roasted peppers, onion and finish browning. Sprinkle flour over meat and stir together.
3. In a bowl, whisk the eggs and milk together well. Using a teaspoon, divide meat mixture among the 24 mini-muffin cups. Put a nice size pinch of the shredded cheeses on top of each meat cup.
4. Using a ladle (or something with a small pour spout) fill the cups just to the edge/rim with the beaten eggs an milk mixture.
5. Bake until golden (but not too brown on top), about 12-to-15 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool to handle, arrange on a plate and *serve.
6. *Can be made the night before, cover when completely cooled (or place in zip lock bag) then heat in microwave when ready to serve.
7. Note from Cin: Remember when making these for the Kiddo's...they don't like a lot of onion. That's why I did not put much in these. Now if you and yours like onion...load`em up if you'd like. When I make them for just the Hubby and I, we like more onion and garlic (both fresh from our garden and sauteed).
8. Also use your favorite cheese or cheeses...it's good with sharp cheddar and/or longhorn colby. Fresh grated Parmeasan is nice melted on top right out of the oven.
