These fluffy breakfast egg muffins are light, vibrant, and easy to make. They are individually-sized breakfast bites that you can prepare for family or group meals, make for a simple grab-and-go snack for the week, or keep on hand in the fridge as a fun way to switch things up your everyday skillet egg dishes.

Savory sausage, fluffy eggs, and sharp Cheddar cheese come together for these egg muffins, and every bite is a little bit of the perfect breakfast. With the addition of bread, warming spices, crisp scallions, and creamy milk, these muffins resemble the taste and texture of a lovely brunch frittata.

Egg muffins store well for up to a week in the refrigerator, making them perfect as a make-ahead breakfast or snack. Coating a muffin pan with non-stick cooking spray will lessen the possibility of having your muffins stick to the pan, but preparing them in parchment cups is a closer guarantee for a no-muss, no-fuss cooking process—and a lot less soaking of your pan later.

1 (1-lb.) package ground pork sausage
12 large eggs
1/3 cup milk
1 slice white sandwich bread, cut or torn into ¼-inch pieces
1/4 cup chopped scallions
3/4 tsp. dry ground mustard
1/2 tsp. garlic powder
1/2 tsp. kosher salt
1/4 tsp. black pepper
3/4 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
