Breakfast IS the most important part of the day, and isn’t it even more delicious when it’s ready quickly?!
One of our favorite breakfasts to make ahead of time are these sausage egg cups. Despite our intentions to make them last for a few days, these frequently become our favorite snack for second breakfast too, so make a double batch!
Endlessly customizable, use your frozen grated zucchini from last year’s garden or substitute with seasonal delights such as basil and tomato in summer.
