Preheat oven to 400ºF.

Grease a 6-muffin cup pan with cooking spray; set aside.

In a skillet over medium heat, cook the sausage, breaking it down into small pieces.

Halfway thru cooking (about 3 minutes), add red peppers and mushrooms; sauté for 2 minutes. Add green onions and sauté until the sausage is cooked, another 2 minutes. Remove from the heat and drain pork mixture into a colander.

In a large measuring cup, add beaten eggs, hot sauce, black pepper and salt; whisk to combine.

In a large bowl, combine the sausage mixture, egg mixture and grated cheese; stir until very well blended.

Divide the mixture into the muffin cups and transfer to the preheated oven. Bake for 18 to 20 minutes or until a cake tester inserted in the center comes out clean.
