It’s a quick recipe to pull together.
Preheat oven to 400 F. Grease the muffin baking tin; line with small, street-taco size tortillas.* Add one-half slice American** cheese, then one tsp. sausage***. Crack one egg into each. Sprinkle with herbs,**** and then bake for 20 minutes.
* They come out nice and crispy this way, but a better version can be made with pastry. It’s more trouble, and this is intended to be a quick breakfast food. Do what you prefer.
** Or any melting cheese; today I am out of American cheese, so I’m using Swiss.
*** I use raw Hot Tennessee Pride. You can use anything. It cooks in the same time as the eggs. I tested this with a meat thermometer the first few times to be sure. You may substitute cooked sausage if you want.
**** This step plus the choice of sausage/cheese gives easy variations: you could use Mexican oregano, chipotle, chorizo and Queso Chihuahua for a Mexican flavor, or Italian sausage, mozzarella, and basil for an Italian flavor.

You are certainly welcome. By the way, I like to try to crack the eggs with unbroken yolks because I like baked eggs that way, but you can also scramble the eggs in a bowl if you like that better and just pour 1/8th in each cup. If the yolk is broken, I find that the egg bite is still just fine.
Protein's important, especially in men who are older. Eggs are a good source, but of course lean beef has big advantages.

This looks pretty good. I'll have to try it.
We love eggs. I like "birds in a nest," basically eggs and any kind of greens. Arugula, bacon, and eggs are particularly good.
Just about any omelette is terrific.
