Egg “Muffins” with Quinoa and Veggies

Breakfast can be easy and healthy with this delicious egg dish.

Yield: 12 "Muffins"

Ingredients:

3 Italian Turkey Sausage links (approx 12 oz)
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 yellow bell pepper, diced
1 cup of diced mushrooms
I cup of cooked Quinoa
2 cloves garlic
4 cups fresh spinach
8 large eggs
4 green onions diced
8- 10 cherry tomatoes quartered
2 teaspoons oregano
Salt and pepper to taste
1/4 cup grated Parmesan (optional)

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350.
In a large mixing bowl crack eggs and add green onions. Set aside.
Spray or brush a muffin tin with oil.
In a large saute pan on medium heat, add olive oil and turkey sausage with the casings removed. Break up the turkey sausage into small pieces and cook through. Add mushrooms and yellow bell pepper. Cook until veggies are soft, about 2-4 minutes.
Now is a good time to taste the mixture, it will depend on the spice mix of the sausage (which can vary) on how much garlic and salt and pepper you need to add.
Add spinach and cook until just wilted, about 1-2 minutes. Mix in the cooked quinoa.
Add egg mixture to saute pan and let the eggs cook for 1-2 minutes without stirring until eggs just barely start to set on the bottom. Remove from heat and gently stir eggs to make sure all ingredients are evenly distributed. Spoon partially cooked egg and sausage mixture in to muffin tin. Top with quartered tomatoes and add just a dash of salt on top.
Bake muffins in 350 degree oven for 15 minutes or until egg is completely set. Check the center with a knife to make sure the egg is solid.

Enjoy!
