Sausage and Cheese Breakfast Cups

These egg "muffins" make a hearty breakfast that can be eaten on the run.

Ingredients

• 4 oz turkey sausage
• 1/2 cup chopped green bell pepper
• 1/4 cup chopped onion
• 5 large eggs
• 1 can mushrooms
• 2 oz reduced fat cheddar cheese, shredded

1. Pre-heat the oven to 350 °F (175 °C). Coat a 6-cup non-stick muffin pan with cooking spray, or line with paper baking cups.
2. In a medium non-stick skillet over medium-high heat, cook the sausage, pepper, and onion for 5 minutes or until the sausage is no longer pink.
3. Spoon the mixture into a bowl and let cool slightly. Stir in the eggs and mushrooms.
4. Evenly divide the mixture among the prepared muffin cups. Sprinkle with the cheese.
5. Bake for 20 minutes or until the egg is set.
