Prepare the Ingredients:
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and grease a muffin tin with olive oil or non-stick spray.
Grate the carrot, finely chop the onion, slice the chicken sausage, and chop the scallions.
Cook the Vegetables and Sausage:
Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.
Add the chopped onion and grated carrot. Cook until softened, about 3-4 minutes.

Prepare the Egg Mixture:
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Stir in the cooked vegetables and sausage.
Fill the Muffin Tin:
Pour the egg mixture evenly into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 3/4 full.
Sprinkle the mozzarella cheese evenly on top of each muffin.
Bake the Muffins:
Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the muffins are set and lightly golden on top.
Serve:
Allow the muffins to cool slightly before removing them from the tin.
Garnish with chopped scallions and serve warm.
