How to Make Mini Sausage, Spinach, and Egg Muffins

1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a mini muffin tin.

3. Whisk eggs in a bowl with milk (if using).
4. Stir in sausage, spinach, and cheese.
5. Spoon mixture evenly into mini muffin cups, filling about ¾ full.

Tips for Babies & Toddlers
