Savory Egg Muffins with Sausage & Spinach

Protein-packed comfort for busy mornings

Let’s be honest — some mornings feel like a sprint. These Savory Egg Muffins are your secret weapon for when life gets chaotic, but you still want to nourish your body like the grounded goddess you are.

They’re portable, high-protein, and taste like a cozy Sunday breakfast… even if you’re eating them in the car, post-yoga, or between meetings. Think comfort meets convenience, with all the flavor and none of the guilt.

💪 Why These Muffins Work Magic

🥚 Pasture-Raised Eggs
Your morning ritual in a shell — rich in protein, choline, and all the good fats that keep your brain sharp and energy steady.

🌭 Chicken Sausage
Adds that satisfying, savory kick without the heaviness. Protein that actually tastes indulgent.

🌿 Spinach + Onion
Because we love a little green magic. Adds minerals, fiber, and that fresh pop that keeps this meal from feeling “too breakfasty.”

🧀 Cheese (Optional, but Let’s Be Real)
A little melt never hurt. Adds creaminess and flavor depth. Skip it or swap it, but if you include it — it’s the cozy moment of the bite.
