In a large skillet, heat the oil over medium heat. Sauté the onion until tender. Add the garlic and sausage; cook for 1 minute more. Remove the skillet from the heat; stir in the sour cream.

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.

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

Delish! One of my favorite recipes on this website. Highly recommend!

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! ????

Ruined my muffin pan. Stuff stuck to it so bad that I had to rheow it away and by a new pan.

I just have a quick question for anyone out there. What is the difference between egg and egg substitute? I would rather use "real" ingredients than not. Diagnosed last year type 2. I'm really struggling with making the right/good food choices. I'm not the best cook in the kitchen. :) Thanks in advance

Too many processed ingredients such as pre-cooked sausage and hash browns. But yet use egg substitute instead of real eggs. If I wasn't diabetic, I'd eat the entire tin of muffins.
