★ Ingredients You'll Need ★
You'll need just 5 ingredients to make these egg bites plus hot sauce or picante sauce if you'd like.
Here's a look at everything you'll need:
- Eggs. You can use whole eggs or just the whites. If using just the white of the eggs, you'll need to use double the amount.
- Cheese. Any cheese works. To keep these low-calorie, choose a low fat cheese.
- Ground turkey sausage.
- Sage. Some breakfast sausage comes seasoned with sage already so if you can find it that way, feel free to skip adding your own sage.
- Salt and pepper. Add to taste.
Optional: Serve with hot sauce on top.
