This is a sponsored post written on behalf of HEB. As always, all opinions are 100% my own.
Mother’s Day is just around the corner! are you ready?
I’m always a little stressed because I don’t know what to buy for my mom. Luckily, we have similar styles and tastes, and I usually end up buying her something I want for my own home because I know she’ll love it too. 😉
Like many of you, we not only gift moms with love and thoughtful gifts, but we also make sure moms get delicious food that day. With that in mind, I wanted to share with you two delicious recipes inspired by a recent trip to HEB (my go-to grocery store in Texas) to help you celebrate your greatness and awesomeness on Mother’s Day Mother. I know many of you eat breakfast in bed, so this first recipe is what I think your mom will love on her special day. They are breakfast cookie cups that are easy to make and so delicious!
Here’s what you need to make them:
Breakfast Cookie Cups:
Ingredients:
- ½ bag Jimmy Dean sausage crumbles
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
- salt and pepper to taste
- ½ cup milk
- ½ cup frozen potato wedges, thawed
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 2 large eggs
- ¼ teaspoon garlic salt
- 1 TB water
- 1 jar (16.3 ounces) large refrigerated flaky cookies
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted
- ½ cup shredded Colby-Monterey Jack cheese
- muffin tin
route:
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
- Add sausages to a frying pan with oil. Cook until warmed up, add flour, pepper and salt. Add 1/2 cup milk and bring to a boil. Stir until thickened and set aside.
- Cook potatoes and butter in another pan until tender.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together eggs, garlic salt and milk. Add potatoes and cook until eggs are almost cooked.
- Press cookies into greased muffin tins. If it’s too thick, peel off a layer of cookies and place in. Push to bottom and top. Spread melted butter over cookies.
- Spoon egg mixture, sausage, and cheese into cups.
- Bake for 15-18 minutes or until golden. Cool for a few minutes and enjoy warm.

Note: These are also great frozen. Freeze after cooling, then reheat in microwave for 1 minute.
These are simple to make and easy to change. I think next time we will try bacon instead of sausage!
