Sausage Breakfast Muffins
These easy sausage breakfast muffins are a delicious and convenient option for busy mornings. Packed with savory breakfast sausage, sharp cheddar cheese, and a fluffy Bisquick base, they make for a hearty and satisfying start to your day.
Ingredients
- 1 pound Breakfast Sausage: For a rich and meaty flavor.
- 1 cup Bisquick Baking Mix: Provides structure and fluffiness to the muffins.
- 1 cup Sharp Cheddar Cheese: Shredded for that perfect melt and tangy taste.
- 4 Eggs: To bind all the ingredients together and add moisture.
Instructions
- Preheat Your Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 12-cup muffin tin.
- Brown the Sausage: Cook the breakfast sausage in a skillet over medium heat for 5-7 minutes, breaking it up as it browns; drain excess grease.
- Prepare the Muffin Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, whisk the eggs. Add the shredded sharp cheddar cheese and Bisquick baking mix, stirring until smooth. Fold in the cooked sausage.
- Spoon the Batter: Divide the batter evenly among the 12 muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
- Bake to Perfection: Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 20 minutes, until the tops are golden brown and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
- Cool the Muffins: Let the muffins cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack or serving warm.
Notes
For a healthier twist, consider using turkey sausage or a plant-based alternative. You can also customize the flavor by experimenting with different types of cheese or adding in diced vegetables like bell peppers, onions, or spinach. These muffins are great for meal prep and can be frozen for later use.
