Perfect for a quick breakfast on-the-go or a lazy weekend brunch at home, these egg bites are sure to satisfy your cravings and leave you feeling energized for the day ahead. So, grab your apron and let's get cooking!

Start by preheating your oven to 375°. Lightly grease a 12-cup muffin tin with cooking spray. In a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat, cook the pork sausage until browned. Drain the fat and reserve.

In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy whipping cream, paprika, garlic powder and season with salt and pepper to taste. Fold in the cooked sausage, shredded cheddar cheese and thinly sliced green onions. Pour the mixture into the prepared muffin tin and bake until cooked through and golden, about 15 minutes.

These egg bites are delicious fresh out of the oven, but you can also let them cool and store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator until you're ready to eat. They're perfect for meal prep or an on-the-go breakfast option.

The combination of savory pork sausage, melted cheddar cheese and green onions creates a delicious and satisfying flavor profile in every bite. The addition of paprika and garlic powder adds a subtle but distinct depth of flavor that takes these egg bites to the next level.
