I first came up with this recipe when I was looking for a way to use up some leftover sausage and vegetables. I had a bunch of bell peppers, zucchini, yellow squash, and onion, and I didn't want them to go to waste. I also had some eggs in the fridge, so I decided to make a breakfast muffin. I'm so glad I did, because these muffins are delicious! They're packed with protein and vegetables, and they're easy to make ahead of time. I love to make a batch of these muffins on the weekend and then eat them for breakfast all week long.
