These Sausage Egg and Cheese Breakfast Casserole Muffins are everything you love about a hearty breakfast all wrapped up in a cute muffin cup and ready to take with you on the go!
Savory breakfasts are my fave!
Remember my chickens?
Well, they are pretty much the coolest things ever.
We have 4 chickens now (one didn’t make it), and they are all producing one egg per day.
That’s 28 eggs per week. Guys… I’m drowning in eggs.
White, brown and blue eggs. Yes… one of our girl’s lays blue eggs! They’re so pretty!
Good thing my kids love eggs.
I’ve been making so many of these awesome egg casserole cups because my family just devours them. They’re super easy to whip up on a weekend and have breakfast ready for the entire week!
I added sausage to these cups, but I’ve made it with bacon before too. Both are extremely good!
But what I love the most is when I use the Thomas English Muffins.
The english muffin’s nooks and crannies are perfect for soaking up the egg mixture and creating a delicious and hearty breakfast cup!
Give everything a good stir in the a large bowl and then all you have to do is scoop the mixture into lightly greased muffin tins.
If you wanted, you could bake the whole thing in a casserole dish for a delightful breakfast, but I love the muffins because they’re quick and easy to grab and go!
You can store them in the fridge or even the freezer for a longer period of time.
I package them in little zip close baggies and that way I can pop on in the toaster oven (microwave works too).
They’re fantastic with a dollop of sour cream and a splash of hot sauce!

Shawn, can you put the ingredients together the night before? Seems like the English muffins would absorb the egg mixture more if it had a few hours to blend together.
Sooo good!
Good morning and Merry Christmas to you and the family!
Last year for Xmas Brunch, I made your Overnight Sausage Hash Brown Casserole and Easy Frensch Toast Casserole for a party of three. This year, I am going to try this recipe; however, I would like to bake it in a 13x9x2 casserole dish (my son is a hearty eater and his wife is eating for two). Safe to say I can follow the instructions noted above and just pour into the casserole dish; correct? Also, other than fruit, what would you suggest as a side dish? Thank you for your time, HLD
Can you omit the milk?
Hi Shawn,
Thank you so much for your recipes. I m 82 years old and I am VERY tired of cooking but you have materialized on my facebook and I was so intrigued with your recipes and videos, that I spent one day going thru a few of your categories and was burning up my printer copying down recipes I wanted to try. You are an inspiration. Saturday, I made two of your salads (cucumber/tomato, and orange fluff, only I used raspberries), your sausage, egg, and cheese muffins and your green bean stir fry. Thank you for the tip on how to slice the chicken breast. My husband loved the chicken it, thought it was the best he has ever tasted. The green beans I bought from the store were horrible so we ate the meat and onions. ha ha I was in the kitchen most of the day and usually I have to go and sit down for awhile when I am on my feet but not that day. I was so anxious to try your recipes. Everything I made that day was delicious. Your breakfast muffins are in the freezer, we ate 4 of them already. I still have a stack of recipes to try and I can’t wait. My husband got me a air fryer for Christmas last year so I am dying to try your air fryer recipes. I haven’t come up with many good recipes yet for the air fryer, I would like to make it worth his buying me that. I want to try the asparagus fries and the chicken tenders. Sorry to be so long, but I just wanted you to know that you have made an old woman VERY happy. I am now looking forward to trying and cooking your recipes for the next couple of weeks. Thank you, thank you.

Norma, I’m so thrilled you are loving the recipes! Thank you so much for your sweet comment, you made my day!
What is your suggestion for how to reheat these in the toaster oven? Love this idea over the microwave oven. Thanks!
If you’re reheating from the fridge, I would just reheat in the toaster oven until heated through. If it’s from the freezer, I would microwave to thaw and then toast in the toaster oven.
Do you toast the English muffins first?
No need to toast them prior!
Can these b frozen?
Yes, you can definitely freeze these for later.
I just made these today to take with us on a lake vacation. They are delicious! I doubled the recipe and it made 24 muffins with enough left over to fill two smaller ramekins. These will be an easy way to feed a large group breakfast! Thank you.
Fantastic! I’m so glad you enjoyed the recipe!
Yes! You can definitely make it without the sausage. 🙂
Is that whole 6 English muffins or halves?
Whole!
These are the best little tasty treats I’ve made in a long time. I used 4 slices of home made French bread instead of the English muffins. WOW!!! The smell of these call your name :)). These will be a perfect fast breakfast for Thanksgiving morning or Christmas morning.
Made these last night so I. Ours have a good breakfast on the go. They are perfect! Very delicious!!
My son and I made these yesterday, and they are completely amazing! ♥ I don’t care for mustard flavors, so I omitted that and added in a couple of diced jalapenos. I am so thrilled to have this recipe, these are exactly the delicious breakfast muffins I have been looking for! Thank you so much for sharing this!
Love the addition of the diced jalapeño! So glad you guys liked them! 🙂
Just made these to take on vacation. Had too much for 12 muffin cups so put the remainder into a custard cup. OMG! I am going to hide these or they will be all gone by the time we leave. This is BY FAR my favorite breakfast muffin recipe, hands down! Thank you for sharing!
Ah YAY! So glad you liked them!! 🙂
I was wondering if you could use sourdough I buy it local & fresh every week. What say you?
I think that would be just great! 🙂
How many muffin cups does your recipe make? I’m making these for a birthday celebration at work!
I got 12 muffins. 🙂
I decided to double this but only have one pack of English muffins. Can I use bread with them? If so, about how many slices do you think?
These are wonderful! I accidentally used a full pound of sausage, so I wound up with 20 casserole muffins. And I used wheat English muffins in an attempt to be healthy–going for the regular next time! Thanks for the great recipe! 🙂
Thanks Seanna! Glad you enjoyed them! 🙂
can you use cupcake liners to keep the muffin cups clean?
You sure can! 🙂
This is a great recipe. Can it be made without the English Muffins? I would like to
make these my protein breakfast on the go.
I guess if you took out the english muffins they would just be a baked egg cup. I’m sure it would work.
Oh I love this so much. Egg cups are one of my go-to’s but I’ve never cut up English muffins inside. Wonderful idea!
I could eat about 10 of these right now! I just love Thomas’ English Muffins!
I am absolutely making these! Such a great on the go breakfast!
Oooh, I love that these are like tiny handheld savory bread puddings. Honestly, the look scrumptious, you’ve done justice by your girls. I want a little flock of my own too so I can be drowning in eggs. A good problem to have!
Oh my gosh – I NEED these in my life!
These are pure perfection! I love that they’re perfectly portioned. Jealous of your chickens, too!
So smart to make this casserole with English muffins! Love those pretty blue eggs too!
These muffins!!! Love Love Love 🙂
I’m always searching for new breakfast recipes and this one heading to the top of my must-make list. Such a fun way to use Thomas’ English Muffins!
I want to get INTIMATE with these muffins. They look so good!
Can a bunch of these be made and frozen? How would they be reheated? Thanks!
Got my answer. Next time I’ll read everything instead of just the recipe. Thanks. They look delish!
Yummy thing for breakfast! Or just snack.
