Preheat oven to 400°F (204°C).

Grease a 12-count muffin pan with cooking spray.

Place one sausage patty into each of the muffin cups, pressing them down to create a shell.

Ensure the sausage is pressed down but not too far to the bottom.

Wash hands after handling the sausage.

Crack 8 eggs into a mixing bowl.

Add a pinch of salt and cracked black pepper to the eggs.

Add about 2 tablespoons of water to the egg mixture to make it fluffy.

Whisk the egg mixture until combined.

Press down the sausage shells in the muffin cups to ensure they hold their shape.

Pour the egg mixture into each sausage shell, filling them up carefully.

If there are extra muffin cups, fill them with just the egg mixture for those who prefer it without sausage.
