Egg Muffins with Sausage, Spinach, and Cheese
Updated March 26, 2019
Egg muffins are easy to make and fun to eat! Kids and adults will love these Egg Muffins with Sausage, Spinach, and Cheese!
Josh is allergic to most animals so we don’t have a dog or cat. Instead, we have six chickens. Virginia, Caramel, Daisy, Mae, Midnight, and Pepper are part of our family. They live outside in their coop and are easy to take care of. They are the best pets.
Caleb loves visiting his chickens. He feeds them, chases them, and even holds them. He also loves gathering their eggs. Last week we were overflowing with fresh eggs so Josh made Egg Muffins with Sausage, Spinach, and Cheese for breakfast.
If you like frittatas, you will love these egg muffins. Egg muffins are like frittatas, just smaller. Instead of making a large frittata in a pan, you make the eggs in a muffin pan. The egg muffins are easy to make and I love that everyone gets their own individual mini frittata.
Our chickens lay pretty eggs:) To make the egg muffins lighter, Josh used five egg whites and two whole eggs.
He also added lean turkey sausage, spinach, and sharp cheddar cheese. Feel free to add your favorite egg fixin’s. Mix things up by using your favorite veggies, cheese, or whatever you have on hand! This recipe is very flexible.
Egg Muffins with Sausage, Spinach, and Cheese are the perfect breakfast. You get your protein, veggies, and dairy all in one little muffin! If your weekday mornings are hectic and you don’t have time to make breakfast, make these egg muffins on Sunday. You can reheat them in the microwave on your way out the door!
Thanks to our chickens we had fresh eggs to make Egg Muffins with Sausage, Spinach, and Cheese. Our chickens really are the best pets!
Egg Muffins with Sausage, Spinach, and Cheese
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
Instructions
- 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 ½ 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 with 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.
- Note-you can store the egg muffins in the fridge for 3-4 days and reheat them in the microwave.

How did you get them not to stick? Whenever I make them I spray with Pam but they always stick and break!
I never have a problem. I make sure I spray the muffin pan really well. I use this pan: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00M2VH788?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creativeASIN=B00M2VH788&linkCode=xm2&tag=twpeanthpo-20
Have you ever tried making muffins with swiss chard, eggs, cheese, and a skosh of sautéed onions? I layer the muffin tin with the chard, then put in the onion, followed with the egg and cheese. I use one egg in each cup. I never thought of adding sausage. That will definitely put these over the top. I forgot to say that I lightly sautéed the Swiss Chard before using it to line the cups with it. Now, I am going to try your recipe. Sounds yummy.
Do you know the nutrition information on these?
Great recipe. I just have to point out that you said someone is allergic to animals but is ok with chickens. Are chickens not animals?
I said he is allergic to most animals, but not chickens. Chickens are animals:)
These look delicious! I’m on Weight Watchers and would like to know the nutritional value. Calories, Sat. Fat, Sugar, Protein. Thank you!j
That looks so yummy! Lol
I am trying to eat in a healthy way so I enjoyed your recipe for egg muffins!
I love these recipes
What kind of chickens are they?
How many eggs would I use if I didn’t want to use egg whites?
Can these egg muffins be frozen, defrosted, and placed in the microwave?
Hello. Do you happen to know the nutritional information in 1 muffin?
I love the recipe. Thanks for your sharing!
I use freeze dried meats and vegetables very often. I am disabled and cannot get out in bad weather, so this is a great way for me to always have healthy food available. I use freeze dried sausage crumbles, freeze dried red and green peppers, freeze dried onions and spinach in this recipe. It works really well and I can do this year round. I plan to try this with my freeze dried egg powder.
This is a perfect recipe for an quick and easy breakfast.
I made them last week and they were so good! Would a serving be one muffin or two muffins?
Every time I try and reheat egg muffins they turn out tough. Please give me a tip for reheating. I have to aci g guest stopping by soon and would love to be able to have these ready to get them in the road quickly.
Sounds yummy. But what do you do with the 5 yolks?
Chef Alton Brown’s Overnight Cinnamon Rolls (completely awesome) recipe on Food Network calls for 4 large egg yolks. I found this recipe as I was searching to utilize the remaining whites (LOL).
Hi Maria and Josh, I love your site, and pin from here regularly. I just wanted to let you know that pinterest deleted my pin from this page, notifying me that they had received a copyright complaint. The ‘offending’ photo was the 2nd from top on this page. Kind regards, Ann
Weird, I just pinned it and it worked for me. We will watch it. Thanks for letting us know. Thanks for pinning our recipes!
I know, right? I’ll leave for it for a few weeks, and repin it again. It would be just my luck I’d get banned for repeatedly breaching copyright. I’m finding that it is happening all over the web, even from a well known and highly respected home decor blogger. It must be something about all the best sites 🙂
Definitely a pinterest glitch. Kind regards, Ann Johnson.
I am looking into it! Thanks again!
I made these this morning using paper muffins cups. They were delicious but they stuck to the paper cup. I made them meatless so could that be the reason they stuck? Any suggestions?
Absolutely LOVED the egg white and spinach muffins! Thank you so much for sharing this recipe.
You are welcome! Glad you liked them!
Just made these delicious egg muffins and ate 3 already! I used kale and 4 small vegetarian sausages with the cheese; added a sprinkle of cajun spice and no extra salt. I used a silicone muffin pan and had no trouble with removal after a few minutes of cooling. Great recipe, thank you!
Nice photo, and I like the idea, but just received a notice that you requested the pin for this to be removed from Pinterest. What’s up with that?
I just realized the comments go from oldest/youngest, so I now see that it’s an ongoing issue.
It is a mistake with Pinterest. I reported the problem. Please keep pinning our recipes, we really appreciate it!
I saved this to my Pinterest board some time back and was surprised today to receive an email from Pinterest advising that they had removed my pin because you did not want your content being saved to Pinterest. Why are Pinterest buttons included on the page if you don’t want your content to be saved on Pinterest?

I wish you would print the calories and nutritional information in your recipes
These taste really good but not matter what I do the middle decflates. How do you keep this from happening ?
Do you have the nutritional value to this ?
Hi, I recently purchased a muffin pan that is microwavable and would love to try this recipe out using my new pan. Do you know how I might change the cooking time to prepare these in a microwave instead? Thanks.
Quick, easy and versatile. Just what I needed. I make these with frozen stir fry veggies, mozz chz, turkey bacon and of course eggs. I amde enough for the week. I can grab and go with no thought of what to eat for breakfast.
Please let me know asap how many whole eggs to substitute for egg whites
Tks
1 egg for 2 egg whites
Very good no problem with sticking. Just spray and no paper linings. But they always deflate. Why? Lol look greasy when I first take them out.
Well it was a yummy success
Not only were these absolutely delicious but they looked amazing as well. Thank you so much for sharing this recipe. I will definitely be making these again.
Is there a reason you cannot use seven complete eggs?
I mean, is it possible to do and still work??
Never mind, I see now, 1 egg for 2 egg whites
