How to Make Breakfast Egg Muffins

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Lightly grease eight 7-ounce ramekins with olive oil and place them on a large baking sheet.
  3. In a medium bowl, combine 1 pound ground sausage, 1 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon dried thyme, 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes, and a pinch of cayenne pepper. Mix well with your hands.
  4. Divide the sausage mixture evenly among the eight ramekins.
  5. Press the sausage firmly into the bottom and up the sides of each ramekin to create a shell, about 1/4 inch thick.
  6. Crack one large egg into each sausage shell.
  7. Sprinkle each egg with a pinch of salt, pepper, and smoked paprika.
  8. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the eggs are set and the sausage is cooked through.
  9. Let the egg muffins cool in the ramekins for 5 minutes before carefully removing them to a serving platter.
  10. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve immediately.
