Description

Quick, easy and delicious, these little cakes make a perfect breakfast or brunch treat!

Ingredients

  • 2 cups Grated Zucchini
  • 1 cup Cubed Smoked Sausage
  • 1 whole Grated Sweet Onion
  • 1 cup All-purpose Flour
  • ½ cups Grated Parmesan Cheese
  • ½ cups Grated Gouda Cheese
  • 3 whole Eggs
  • ¼ cups Vegetable Oil
  • 1 Tablespoon Chopped Fresh Parsley
  • 1 Tablespoon Fresh Dill
  • 1 teaspoon Baking Power
  • 1 teaspoon Kosher Salt
  • ½ teaspoons Ground Pepper

Preparation

Preheat oven to 350°F.

Put all the ingredients in a large bowl and stir to combine. Pour mixture into lined cupcake tins and top with extra cheese if desired (this recipe should make about 18 individual cakes).

Bake for 20 minutes, or until the tops of the cakes are browned and a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes in the pan, then serve.

These little cakes will keep for a few days in the fridge or a few months in the freezer.

These are delicious! They have a nice consistency, holding together but not too dense. I took previous reviewer’s recommendation and made them without liners, and they popped out of the greased muffin tin very easily. Thanks for the recipe!!

These little jewels are my go-to snack for my daughter. I make them all the time (in a mini muffin tin), but also had trouble with getting them out of the liners, so now I put them straight in to a well-greased muffin tin. I made them the last time with an all-purpose gluten-free flour, and they tasted just the same! Thanks for such an easy, healthy snack! When people ask, I call them crustless quiches! :-)

I made these this morning- Yummy! I adapted the recipe a bit– I used egg beaters instead of eggs, Morning Star Farms veggie sausage, 1/2 and onion, and only added 2 tbls. of oil. They did tend to stick to the muffin liners, which is probably because of the oil I admitted or the fact that I was hungry and eating them before they cooled all the way! Next time I would probably put them right in the muffin tin, well greased or add more oil. I plan on freezing the rest of them for an easy breakfast through the week. Delicious!
