Step-By-Step Instructions:

  1. Preheat the oven to 400 F. Coat a six-cup muffin tin with nonstick cooking spray. Evenly divide the hash browns among the muffin cups and press firmly into the bottom and up the sides of each cup.

  2. In a large skillet, heat the oil over medium heat. Sauté the onion until tender. Add the garlic and sausage; cook for 1 minute more. Remove the skillet from the heat; stir in the sour cream.

  3. In a medium bowl, beat the egg substitute with the salt and black pepper, then pour it evenly into the potato-lined muffin cups. Top each cup with some of the sausage mixture, bacon, and cheese.

  4. Bake 15 to 18 minutes, or until the eggs are set. Serve immediately, or freeze for later.

I just have a quick question for anyone out there. What is the difference between egg and egg substitute? I would rather use "real" ingredients than not. Diagnosed last year type 2. I'm really struggling with making the right/good food choices. I'm not the best cook in the kitchen. :)
Thanks in advance

Not recommended

Too many processed ingredients such as pre-cooked sausage and hash browns. But yet use egg substitute instead of real eggs. If I wasn't diabetic, I'd eat the entire tin of muffins.
No, I don’t recommend

Hey
I actually liked this recipe it was delicious. My kids even liked it. I didn't use turkey sausage I used regular sausage.

So far this is my favorite recipe on here to make. They are easy to make and delicious. I didn't have sour cream so I used plain greek yogurt in its place. I don't know if it was that change or what, but they were so good.
