Instructions
- Set oven to 350°F. Coat a muffin pan with cooking spray and set it aside.
- Place sausages in a large skillet over medium high heat. Break up the sausage meat into crumbles as it cooks. Cook for about 4 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Add the diced onion, green bell pepper, red bell pepper, and jalapeno to the skillet with the sausage. Continue cooking, stirring often, for another 4 minutes. Cook until the sausage is fully cooked and the vegetables have softened.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk the eggs until they are well blended. Stir in the cooked sausage and vegetable mixture, the shredded Monterey Jack cheese with jalapeno, and the red pepper flakes. Add salt and pepper according to your preference and mix everything together.
- Carefully spoon the egg mixture into each cup of the prepared muffin pan. Fill each one nearly full.
- Bake for 15 minutes. Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before taking them out.
