Sausage Breakfast Muffins are a deliciously savory, meaty, and cheesy breakfast muffin that is both flavorful and convenient. Each bite has the perfect combination of meaty sausage, sharp cheddar cheese, and puffy muffins. The method begins by browning the sausage, adding a rich and savory taste to each bite of the muffin. Biscuits and eggs give the meat a fluffy, foamy texture and the cheese on top offers a moist, melty attraction. The meat is then divided into an omelet baked tray, allowing for easy single-dose service. These muffins bake until golden brown in about 20 minutes, creating a scent that wafts through the house and entices one to find them. They’re hot from the oven but only cool for a few minutes, so these are also a great addition to a quick breakfast. Muffins can be eaten cold or reheated in a heater or microwave for a fast and convenient breakfast.
What Do I Love About Sausage Breakfast Muffins:
Handy: Easy to prepare and cook, perfect for any prepared meals.
Energy-giving: Those proteins from the sausage, the eggs and the cheese provide you with enough energy to power through your hectic morning. Customizable: You can make it your own, using your favorite cheese, throwing in some vegetables or swapping in another kind of sausage.
The Best Muffins: Muffins Kids Will Actually Want to Eat These are pretty easy to get on board with.
Key Ingredients:
Breakfast Sausage: Use your favorite breakfast sausage, mild or spicy, even maple flavored. Cook it all the way through with a good browning and apartments it very small for even mixing.
Bisquick Baking Mix: Bisquick makes these muffins fluffy and muffin-like. If you don’t have Bisquick, you can make a DIY mix of flour, baking powder, salt and a bit of fat (butter or shortening, for example).
Sharp Cheddar Cheese: Sharpness in cheddar gives you a bold flavor that plays well with the sausage. You can use other cheeses, but cheddar melts really well and has a nice, tangy flavor.
Eggs: Eggs hold it all together and create a soft, tender structure for the muffins. Whisk well to combine with the other ingredients.
Instructions:
Oven Preparation
Preheat The Oven 350°F (175C).
Grease the Muffin Tin: Spray a 12-cup muffin tin generously with non-stick spray — or brush it lightly with butter or oil — so that your muffins don’t stick.
Cook the Sausage
Brown the Sausage: In a frying pan set over medium heat, crumble breakfast sausage. Cook, breaking up with a spatula, until browned and cooked through, 5-7 minutes.
Remove Excess Grease: Use in excess of fat will cause greasy muffins.
Mix the Ingredients
Make the Batter: In a large bowl, crack in the eggs, and beat until combined.
Add Cheese and Bisquick: Gradually stir in shredded sharp cheddar cheese and Bisquick baking mix until smooth batter forms.
Combine Sausage: With a spatula, fold the cooked sausage into the batter, stirring just until evenly distributed.
Fill the Muffin Tin
Spoon in your batter: Pour batter into the 12 muffin cups, dividing equally, filling each about two-thirds full so they have room to rise.
