Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line 4 large muffin pan cups. In a medium skillet, cook the sausage, crumbling it as it browns. Add the mushrooms and scallions and continue to sauté, stirring, for about 4 minutes. Then add the pepper and cook for 5 minutes more, until all veggies are softened.

Serve immediately or make ahead and warm the next morning for a quick breakfast.
