Breakfast is usually the same few things around our house: usually bagels, cereal, or pancakes. (God bless my husband for being our own Pancake Man on Saturdays!) But every once in a while, I like to serve something different. On birthdays. Or holidays. Or vacation days. When there’s something out of the ordinary going on, it’s kind of fun to serve something out of the ordinary for breakfast.
That’s where these breakfast sausage egg cups come in. They still aren’t complicated. No weird ingredients. No 20-step process. No hour spent in the kitchen. Just something a little more fun, but still being really easy.
Serve them for a holiday in your house. Or a way to say “Do Well On Your Test Today”! Add a little fun!
And while I think they really shine when they’re fresh from the oven, they’re also freezer friendly!

Will this recipe work without the salsa? B. Karr
It will! I’d probably substitute in diced tomatoes if you have them, but if you don’t, it will still work. It might be missing a little mexican flavor, but it will work!
