Turn on the heat to medium-high and brown 1 pound of Jimmy Dean breakfast sausage until no longer pink.

Dice 1/2 onion and sweet peppers into very small pieces.

Add the diced onion and sweet peppers to the sausage while it cooks.

Cook the sausage and vegetables until the onion is soft and tender.

Spray a 12-cup muffin tin with non-stick cooking spray, ensuring to cover the sides and bottom.

Place 2 tablespoons of the sausage and vegetable mixture into each muffin cup.

In a large bowl, crack 10 eggs and add seasonings: 1/4 teaspoon onion powder, 1/4 teaspoon paprika, 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper.

Add 1/4 cup of heavy whipping cream to the egg mixture and whisk until well combined.

Add a little bit of cheese to each muffin cup with the sausage mixture.

Pour 1/4 cup of the egg mixture into each muffin cup, filling them three-quarters full.

Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven at 350 degrees for 15 to 20 minutes.

Check for doneness with a toothpick; if it comes out clean, the cups are done.

Remove the muffin cups from the oven and quickly take them out of the pan to prevent sticking.

Serve the muffin cups on a plate and enjoy.
