Cheddar Egg Muffins
From Wheat Belly Cookbook by William Davis
Ingredients
- For the sausage:
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 medium yellow onion, finely chopped
1 clove garlic, minced
1/2 pound ground turkey
1 teaspoon dried oregano, crumbled
1 teaspoon fennel seeds
1 teaspoon dried basil
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 teaspoon dried parsley
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
- For the muffins:
2 cups broccoli, finely chopped
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1/4 cup sun-dried tomatoes (soaked in oil), finely chopped
1 teaspoon dried basil
1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
8 large eggs
1 tablespoon chives
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease a 12-cup muffin pan.
- In a medium skillet over medium heat, cook onion and garlic for 5 minutes, or until onion has browned and softened. Remove from skillet and cool for 10 minutes.
- In a medium bowl, combine turkey and the onion mixture. Add the rest of the sausage ingredients, and mix with your hands until thoroughly blended.
- Form patties of desired width and thickness (3 inches wide by 1/2 inches to 3/4 inches thick works well) by hand. Cook in the skillet over medium heat for 8 minutes, or until a thermometer inserted in the center registers 165°F and the meat is no longer pink. Set aside to cool, then chop and crumble sausage into bite-size pieces.
- In a large bowl, combine broccoli, sausage, cheese, tomatoes, basil, oregano, onion powder, and salt.
- In a medium bowl, whisk the eggs. Pour into the broccoli mixture, and mix thoroughly. Divide the mixture evenly among the muffin cups and top with chives.
- Bake for 30 minutes or until a wooden pick inserted in the center of a muffin comes out clean.
