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.

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.

Hey I actually liked this recipe it was delicious. My kids even liked it. I didn't use turkey sausage I used regular sausage.

So far this is my favorite recipe on here to make. They are easy to make and delicious. I didn't have sour cream so I used plain greek yogurt in its place. I don't know if it was that change or what, but they were so good.

I make these all the time in different varieties. My favorite way to make it is to cook the turkey sausage and add cream cheese to it. I press this into the muffin tins to make the outside of the cups. Then I beat the eggs with a bit of half and half and add that in the sausage cups. Finally I top it with a little bit of shredded cheese. Another way I make them is to line the muffin tins with turkey bacon (cut in halves or thirds to make it easier to manipulate) then add the egg mixture and top with shredded cheese.

This recipe is very similar to one of my go-to recipes, except mine omits the hashed browns, and bakes at 375 for 20 minutes. They're not messy at all, but have a lovely golden brown outer surface all around. The meats and cheeses are easily switched up for variety. Great recipe!
