oh my goodness, so easy, and versatile.
Go ahead and reduce to pack for a backpacking trip, or to have in the trailer. The 'muffins' are a great quick snack to have in the fridge. Loaded with protein and veggies. - Cindy Suelzle

Ingredients
- 1 cup Scrambled Egg Mix (this is 8 eggs)
- 2 cups water if using the freeze dried eggs
- 1/2 cup freeze dried sausage OR 3/4 cup cooked and crumbled sausage
- 1 cup freeze dried shredded cheddar OR same amount shredded fresh cheddar
- 1/4 cup freeze dried chopped onions OR half an onion chopped finely
- 1 cup freeze dried broccoli (crumbled a bit) OR chopped fresh broccoli
- 1/2 cup freeze dried spinach OR chopped fresh spinach
- 1/2 cup freeze dried red peppers (crumbled a bit) OR diced fresh red pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme leaves - crumbled
Directions
- Boil water. Cover Freeze dried sausage crumbles with HOT water. Set aside till tender (up to 1/2 hour)
- Whisk egg powder with water in medium large bowl. OR beat 8 large eggs.
- Add cheese (no need to refresh first, but you may do so). Add vegetables and stir to moisten all with eggs.
- Be flexible. If you don't have something listed, substitute with what you DO have. You can also leave something out if you want. If you don't have thyme, no worries - just leave it out. leave something out. You be you.
- Test the sausage and if it is fully tender, or nearly so, go ahead and add to the party.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees and lightly grease muffin tin.
- Spoon 1/4 cup mixture into each muffin cup.
- Place in the middle of the hot oven and set the timer for 20 minutes. Gently tap center to check for done-ness. If it is too soft, add another 3-5 minutes to cooking time.
- When done, remove pan from oven and let it sit to cool for about 5 minutes before removing muffins. Let them sit on a rack till they're cool to prevent the bottoms getting soggy.
- Variation: Scrambled eggs: pour mixture into a prepared skillet and cook stirring constantly to scramble. OR, don't scramble and make it into an omelette. OR use as a filling for breakfast burrito.
- For vegetarians - leave the sausage out. For dairy free - leave the cheese out.
- Serving size = 2 muffins.
- Serving suggestion: Toast some homemade bread and serve along side your scrambled eggs.
