These little muffin nests are delish. The family loves them for a quick breakfest or to pack into the lunch bag for work to eat with the coffee. Co-workers are always curious and want one. I have baked these little Hens nests every other day since Christmas Eve.

Step 3While the nest is browning, dice up the half red pepper(Julianne style, and cut the green onion into small slices also.
-
Step 4Cut the sausage link into 1/4 inch slices> I then stack three and quarter. Do all the sausage slices into quarters. Brown the sausage in frying pan. I also put a smig of olive oil if needed into my non stick pan.

Step 5Time to take the nests out of the oven. Evenly distribute the sausage pieces into the bottoms of the nests.
