7. Pour the seasoned eggs over the sausage, filling each cup about 3/4 full.
8. Sprinkle the shredded cheese over the tops of the filled cups.
9. Brush the exposed pie crust edges with the milk.
10. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the eggs are set.
11. Allow to cool for 5 minutes, then carefully remove the Sausage and Egg Pies from the muffin tin.
12. Serve warm and enjoy!
