Ingredients
Scale
Meat
- 1 pound breakfast sausage
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
- 1 cup milk
- 2 large eggs
Dairy
- 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or your choice)
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare Muffin Tin: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a muffin tin to prevent sticking.
- Cook Sausage: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the breakfast sausage until browned and fully cooked through, then drain any excess fat to keep the muffins from being greasy.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt until evenly mixed.
- Whisk Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk and eggs until smooth and well combined.
- Combine Ingredients: Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and gently mix to combine. Fold in the cooked sausage and shredded cheese evenly throughout the batter.
- Fill Muffin Cups: Pour the batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about two-thirds full to allow room for rising.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean indicating they are fully cooked.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the muffins to cool for a few minutes in the tin before removing. Serve warm for a delicious breakfast treat.
Notes
- You can substitute cheddar with any cheese of your preference such as mozzarella or pepper jack for a flavor twist.
- Ensure sausage is fully cooked and drained well to avoid greasy muffins.
- These muffins can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or frozen for longer storage.
- Feel free to add herbs like chives or parsley for added flavor.
