I'm not much on breakfast. It isn't that I don't like to eat breakfast foods so much as I have a difficult time eating before 11 or so in the morning. And considering that I'm diabetic and really NEED to eat within a few minutes of waking, I'm always on the search for food I can eat early in the morning.

This is a tasty breakfast a fellow diabetic told me about. Thanks, Jim! You don't have to be diabetic to enjoy it, though. Make some ahead of time and store them in the fridge for a quick and thrifty breakfast. We buy eggs when they're on sale and buy a lot of them. We also buy ground turkey for .79 to .99 a lb and make our own breakfast sausage.

Preheat oven to 350F. Decide what kind of meat you want to use. I've used homemade turkey sausage in mine and it works well but you can use whatever meat you prefer. If you use sausage or bacon, you'll need to par-bake the meat for about 10 minutes. I just make the sausage and press some into the bottom of each of 6 muffin tins. Pop it into the 350 oven, let it cook about 10 minutes, then remove the tin and drain any grease. You can also use bacon and wind it around the side of the muffin tin cups. Again, if you use bacon you need to par-bake it. So, just press the meat into the bottom of the muffin tin cup, par-bake if needed then crack an egg onto the top of each piece of meat. Bake it until the egg is cooked to desired doneness.

I over baked the first batch and although they tasted good, the yolk made this weird plastic looking bubble on top. I just popped the bubble and used scissors to cut it off. So, don't over bake them. When they're done, remove them, blot off any excess grease, and store them in the fridge for a quick breakfast.

Cheese, salsa, and green onions are all great additions to this, by the way.
