In a medium bowl, beat the egg substitute with the salt and black pepper, then pour it evenly into the potato-lined muffin cups. Top each cup with some of the sausage mixture, bacon, and cheese.

Bake 15 to 18 minutes, or until the eggs are set. Serve immediately, or freeze for later.

Very tasty. Even my husband enjoyed it, he is hard to please. I still with that you would give us alternative ingredients such as using egg whites instead of eggs or adding red peppers (pimento). What would the nutritional value be with the substitution and addition? I wasn't able to find turkey bacon (pre cooked) so I used chicken bacon instead and it tasted good, never knew it was chicken bacon. I will make again for sure.

My family loved these, I made enough to give my picky dad some for breakfast, he doesn't like turkey bacon and sausage because he loves his pork but I want him to eat healthier, he actually really enjoyed them and asked if I can make him more next time I visit him.

Have not tried yet but wanted to ask if paper or foil cups could be used for this recipe?

Love this recipe! As with all recipies I usually ad-lib a bit, this one was no different. Instead of turkey sausage I just browned ground turkey, I added red pepper flakes, garlic and onion powder and black pepper, I used a splash of hot sauce and plain yogurt instead of sour cream. I added chopped onions and green pepper (more veg) next time I might add spinach and feta cheese instead...One other change I made is I made it frittata style in a pie plate. This is so delicious, my husband didn't even scoff over ground turkey! ????
