Cook 1 pound of pork sausage in a pan until crumbled and browned, then drain off excess fat.

In a mixing bowl, crack a dozen eggs and whisk them together.

Add 1.5 teaspoons of salt, 3/4 teaspoon of black pepper, and 1.5 teaspoons of garlic powder to the eggs and mix well.

Pour in about 1/2 cup of milk and whisk until combined.

Spray a muffin tin with olive oil cooking spray.

Place a few baby spinach leaves in the bottom of each muffin cup.

Add the cooked sausage to the egg mixture and stir to combine.

Stir in about 1 to 1.5 cups of shredded Colby and Monterey Jack cheese into the egg mixture.

Pour the egg mixture into the muffin tin, filling each cup about half to three-quarters full.

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

Bake in the oven for about 15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly browned and the muffins are set.

Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before transferring to a freezer ziplock bag.
