Sausage Muffins Cups | Johnsonville

Make Breakfast Easy

For too long, eggs and hashbrowns have been prisoners of the plate. Why is it that their sweet pastry counterparts can be carried around with nothing more than an opposable thumb, yet eggs require a butt in a seat? No more. It’s time to release the shackles of the fork and take our breakfast mobile. We present to you eggs, sausage, and hashbrowns… in muffin form.

Our revolutionary breakfast muffins flip the script on traditional morning fare. Imagine the comforting flavors of fluffy scrambled eggs, savory sausage, and crispy hashbrowns, all harmoniously united in a single, portable muffin. It’s a handheld marvel, a testament to culinary innovation. No longer must we be tethered to our tables, confined by the clunky cutlery of yesteryear. With these muffins, breakfast breaks free, and so do you. Stroll, saunter, or sprint into your day with a satisfying bite that keeps pace with your bustling life.

It’s not just breakfast to go; it’s breakfast with gusto. Grab one on your way out the door, and transform your morning commute into a delightful, gastronomic journey. Breakfast in the fast lane, but with all the comfort of a lazy Sunday brunch.

Directions

Prepare sausage according to package instructions; cut into ½-inch coin-slice pieces because this recipe is money. Set aside.

Press potato mixture onto the sides and bottom of muffin cups. This is your permission to play with your food.
Bake at 400°F for 12 minutes or until lightly browned. Spend this time naming your muffins (i.e. Muffy, Finn, Mufasa, Kevin, etc.)
Remove from oven; divide sausage pieces into muffin cups. Try not to eat the sausage just yet. We know it’s hard. Trust us, WE KNOW.
