Equipment
- 1 Pyrex Ribbed Bowls Muffin Tray
Ingredients
- 1 cup cauliflower rice
- 1 almond flour mug bread or low-carb bread of your choice, cubed
- 4 oz ground sausage pork or turkey
- 1/2 cup celery finely diced
- 1/2 cup onion finely diced
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 large egg beaten
- 1/2 cup shredded cheese cheddar or mozzarella
- 1 teaspoon fresh sage chopped (or 1/2 tsp dried sage)
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme chopped (or 1/2 tsp dried thyme)
- 1/2 teaspoon salt to taste
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 12-cup muffin tin with non-stick cooking spray or line with muffin cups.
- Cook the Sausage: In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the sausage until browned and fully cooked. For extra flavor, use Italian or breakfast sausage. Remove and set aside.
- Sauté the Vegetables: Melt the butter in the same skillet and sauté the onion, celery, and cauliflower rice until softened, about 3–4 minutes. Let cool slightly before mixing.
- Combine Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked sausage, sautéed vegetables, cubed bread, shredded cheese, beaten eggs, and fresh herbs. Add salt and pepper to taste, then mix thoroughly.
- Fill Muffin Cups: Divide the stuffing mixture evenly among the 12 muffin cups, pressing down gently to shape each muffin.
- Bake: Bake for 15–20 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and the muffins are set. Let cool slightly before serving.
Notes
Tips for Perfect Muffins
- Make-Ahead Tip: Prepare the stuffing mixture in advance and store it in an airtight container in the fridge overnight. Bake fresh the next day for the best results.
- Use Fresh Herbs: Fresh herbs like sage and thyme make a big difference in flavor. Don’t skip them!
- Muffin Tin Size: Use a standard-sized muffin tin for even portions. You can also use a mini muffin tin for bite-sized servings.
- Bread Substitute: No time to make your own bread? Use pre-made low-carb bread or pork rinds for added crunch.
- Dairy-Free Option: Replace the butter with olive oil and use a dairy-free cheese alternative.
- Sausage Variety: Try chicken sausage, turkey sausage, or even pork sausage for different flavors.
- Refrigeration: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
- Freezing: Wrap muffins individually in plastic wrap and place them in a freezer-safe container. Reheat directly from frozen at 350°F for 10–15 minutes.
- Reheating Tip: To maintain a crispy texture, reheat in the oven or air fryer instead of the microwave.
