Scrambled egg mini muffins

Everyone makes the scrambled egg casseroles with milk and bread and I just wanted something without the bread.  I made them mini because I thought more then a bite was more then I wanted.  They are easy to make.  When it is my turn in tennis to bring something people want to eat for breakfast this is what I bring.

1/2 pound of ground pork.  You can use Jimmy Dean or any other brand or, in my case I used what was in my freezer.  2 mild Italian Sausages and 2 Hot Italian Sausages.

12 eggs.  I am going to try using half eggs half eggbeaters next time.  I think it will work just as well.

1/2 cup chopped onion.  Red or white

1/4 – 1/2 cup chopped red or green bell pepper

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon fresh ground pepper

1/4 teaspoon garlic powder

1/2 -3/4 cup shredded cheese.  I suggest what ever you have on hand, but if you are buying then get cheddar.

In a large skillet, cook the sausage over medium heat till no longer pink.  If you are using sausage in the casings I suggest you remove the casing before cooking!  Let sausage cool. In a large bowl, beat the eggs.  Add the onion, red pepper, salt, pepper and garlic powder.  Stir in the sausage and cheese.

Pre-heat oven to 350°.  Spray mini muffin tins with Pam and fill 3/4  full.  Bake for 15 minutes.  They should just pop right out!

Variations…. basically I think that what ever you would like to put into an omelet you can put into these.  I think one of my favorite suggestions is green chilies.
