Instructions

Step 1

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees while you prepare the remaining ingredients.

• Combine seasonings and almond flour together in small bowl, mixing well; add to sausage. Mix sausage mixture together well using firm rubber spatula or your hands. Make sure all spices are incorporated with no spots of seasoning mix.

Step 5

• Divide sausage evenly between the 12 cups, then shape into cups on bottom and up the sides of muffin cup, trying to maintain an even thickness. Avoid leaving any holes.

Step 6

• Add eggs and all egg ingredients into medium bowl and beat with fork or egg blender until light and fluffy. Carefully pour egg mixture into each cup leaving about 1/8 to ¼ inch clearance.

Step 7

• Top each egg cup with julienned baby spinach leaves, dividing evenly.

Step 8

• Top spinach with gouda cheese strips, dividing evenly amongst the 12 cups.

Step 9

• Place in oven and bake for 20-25 minutes (do not let eggs overcook, as they will continue cooking when removed from the oven).
