These little egg and sausage muffins also make a great road trip breakfast. Don and I often take car trips to visit the kid in college, but we don't love eating at fast food places, ever! Making these breakfast muffins works great, because they are easy to pack and easy to eat! Just pop 'em and enjoy!
I can reheat these as we are heading out the door, and we can enjoy them in the car. I'm the pain-in-the-butt type that likes to stick to the schedule when we go on a road trip, so these help to save time in the mornings when Don is usually moving too slowly for me! I promise you that man always puts us behind schedule! Truthfully, we really don't ever have to be somewhere at an exact time, but dangit I made a plan and I want to stick to it!!
