Ingredients
- ¾ pound ground breakfast sausage
- 12 large eggs, beaten
- ½ cup whole milk
- 2 teaspoons chili powder
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- ¼ teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
- cooking spray, for muffin tins

Method
Preheat the oven to 350°F with a rack in the center position.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sausage and cook, breaking it up with a wooden spoon, until browned, about 5 minutes.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, chili powder, salt, and pepper.
Spray a 12 cup muffin tin with cooking spray to prevent the egg mixture from sticking.
Evenly disperse half of the sausage and half of the cheese into the prepared muffin tin. Pour the egg mixture into the cups, filling about half way full. Top with remaining sausage, the remaining cheese and the olives.
Bake until the egg muffins are puffed up and lightly browned, about 20-25 minutes.
Serve warm, topped with cilantro, salsa, and a slice of avocado, if using.
Note: To make ahead. After removing the egg muffins from the oven, cool completely, then store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. To reheat, simply place desired amount of egg muffins on a plate then microwave on high for 30-60 seconds, or until warmed through. Alternatively you can reheat the egg muffins in an air fryer. 3-5 minutes at 350°F, or until warmed through. Serve warm, topped with cilantro, salsa, and a slice of avocado, if using.
