Turkey Sausage & Bell Pepper Egg Cups

I talk about what I call “egg cups” more than once a day in my office. If I had to pick what my number one question I get asked is…it would probably be “what on earth can I do for an easy breakfast?!”

I’ve mentioned this before on the a recipe I shared using the same idea with mushrooms and swiss. Which is what I love about this- it so so easy to vary the ingredients! Think all of the ways to make an omlette…that’s exactly what we’ve got going on here. Whisk together eggs and add a little cottage cheese (only for baking purposes- you won’t know it’s there in case you have an aversion to cottage cheese…) Then add in whatever ingredients you love in an omlette!
