- While the eggs bake, cook the sausage in a skillet on the stove according to package instructions then set aside.
- Slice the English muffins and toast.
- Remove the eggs from the oven and cool a few minutes then remove the eggs from the ramekins using an offset spatula.

Notes
- Make it interesting: You can go beyond the classic baked eggs in this recipe and make these spinach pepper egg muffins or cauliflower egg muffins instead.
- Egg sandwich for one: To make this high protein egg breakfast for one, simply cook the sausage patty as you would, on a pan, and use my microwave eggs recipe to cook the eggs quickly, without having to turn on the oven.
