DIRECTIONS
Preheat oven to 375°F. Spray a muffin tin (6 cavities) with non-stick spray; set aside.
In a medium bowl, whisk together eggs and 1/2 cup milk. Season with salt (optional) and pepper to taste; set aside.
Place a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add turkey sausage and cook until cooked through; break sausage up with a wooden spoon into small crumbles. Remove turkey from pan and drain on a paper towel lined plate. Wipe out pan. Add olive oil, mushrooms, red peppers and scallions. Sauté until vegetables have released their liquids. Drain veggies and set aside.
Divide sausage and vegetables between 6 prepared muffin tins. Pour egg mixture over fillings, dividing between the 6 muffin cavities. Sprinkle with cheese.
