Instructions

Heat 1 tablespoon of avocado oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the ground breakfast sausage to the skillet and cook for 2 minutes. Stir in maple syrup, bell pepper, cumin, onion powder, and ½ teaspoon sea salt. Continue cooking for another 2 minutes.
Reduce the heat to medium-low and add the remaining avocado oil.
Pour in the whisked eggs, alongside the remaining sea salt and pepper.
Cook the eggs until just set, being careful not to overcook. Once done, remove from heat and set aside.
In a large bowl, combine the flour, blended cottage cheese, baking powder, and sea salt. Mix until combined, then knead by hand until a ball forms.
Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead until smooth, adding more flour as necessary to avoid stickiness.
Divide the dough into 8 equal pieces and roll each into a 5-inch circle.
In the center of each circle, place ⅓ cup of the sausage-egg mixture and top with 2 tablespoons of cheese. Fold the edges towards the center to seal.
Spray a large nonstick skillet and heat over medium heat.
Place the stuffed muffins seam-side down and cook for 1-2 minutes. Flip and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until golden brown.

Notes

For best results, make sure the eggs are just cooked and not overdone for a fluffy texture.
Feel free to add your favorite spices or vegetables to the sausage mixture for added flavor.
These can be made ahead of time and reheated for a quick breakfast!
