Little man takes his breakfast to school most days. Along with being a time-saver (hello, we leave the house at 6:45 am), food is also the ULTIMATE distraction in toddlerland. I just can’t bear to leave him when he’s grabbing at my leg and wailing. #theworst So… food it is! (Heaven help us on the days I go in late. Seriouslyyy it.is.so.sad.) He is always psyched to sit down at the little table with his pals and dive in to some breakfast.

As with everything when you’re busy, making things ahead is KEY for success. Or at least, less stress. HA! Lately I’ve been making a big batch of scrambled egg muffins on the weekend for little man to enjoy for breakfast at school. We usually pair a muffin for him with some fruit or a quarter of these homemade applesauce waffles (that I also make in batches and freeze). This obsession started with a ricotta egg muffin recipe I found (will share THAT recipe soon, I promise!) and escalated into these tasty treats.

I seriously adore everything about these scrambled egg muffins. They’re layered, similar to a breakfast casserole, but instead of a bread base, I roasted up some sweet potatoes with lots of yummy herbs. Then I cooked some sausage, crumbled it over top of the sweet potatoes, and poured the egg mixture over everything. Top with cheese, bake, and enjoy. SO easy. You could make these with your kids… that’s what I did! My little guy had so much fun filling up the muffin cups with all the ingredients (I did pour the egg mixture but he did everything else–including helping me whisk the eggs). Since my son is still pretty young I did let the sweet potatoes and sausage cool before he handled it, but he had a blast helping his mama in the kitchen. Lately he’s going through a bit of a picky eater phase, but I really believe he’s been enjoying these scrambled egg muffins so much because he helped make them! It’s the sweetest thing. Hope you guys enjoy these as much as we do!

Sweet Potato + Sausage Scrambled Egg Muffins

  • Servings: 12
  • Print

Ingredients:

  • 2 medium sweet potatoes (about 1 pound)
  • 1 1/2-2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon Herbs de Provence (or other dried herbs)
  • 8 ounces breakfast sausage
  • 10 large eggs
  • 1 cup milk
  • 2 tablespoons whole grain Dijon mustard
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheese (I used Gruyere)

Directions:

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Dice sweet potatoes into small one inch cubes, then toss with oil and herbs. Place on a single layer on a large baking sheet, then roast in the oven for 30 minutes until soft, tossing once or twice.

Meanwhile, cook sausage and drain grease.

In a medium bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, and Dijon mustard.

Grease a 12 cup muffin tin with cooking spray, or line with silicone liners.

When sweet potatoes are cooked, divide between muffin wells. Top each with crumbled sausage, then pour egg mixture on top. Repeat until ingredients are gone–amounts may vary slightly, as my silicone muffin cups are a little small. Top with cheese, then bake for 22-25 minutes until set.

Serve warm or at room temperature.

Also freezes great!
