Sausage breakfast muffins combine hearty flavors with simple preparation. Quick morning meals become delightful when home cooks blend savory ingredients you’ll savor with enthusiasm.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound (454 grams) breakfast sausage (cooked and drained)
- 4 large eggs (whisked)
- 1 cup (240 milliliters/8 fl oz) sharp cheddar cheese (shredded)
- 1 cup (120 grams/4.2 oz) Bisquick baking mix
Instructions
- Preparation: Heat oven to 350°F (175°C) and thoroughly coat a 12-cup muffin tin with non-stick spray or butter.
- Sausage Cooking: Brown breakfast sausage in a medium skillet over medium heat, crumbling into small pieces until fully cooked, about 5-7 minutes. Drain excess fat completely.
- Batter Creation: Whisk eggs in a large mixing bowl, then blend in shredded sharp cheddar cheese and Bisquick baking mix until achieving a smooth, uniform consistency.
- Ingredient Incorporation: Fold the cooked sausage into the egg-cheese mixture, ensuring even distribution throughout the batter.
- Filling and Baking: Fill muffin cups two-thirds full with the prepared mixture. Place in preheated oven and bake for 20-22 minutes until tops turn golden brown and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
- Cooling and Serving: Allow muffins to rest in the tin for 3-5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack or serve immediately while warm and aromatic.
Notes
- Fat Draining Tip: Thoroughly drain sausage fat to prevent greasy, heavy muffins and ensure a lighter, more appetizing texture.
- Mixing Technique: Whisk eggs thoroughly and fold sausage gently to create a uniform, airy batter that prevents dense, tough muffins.
- Baking Precision: Fill muffin cups only two-thirds full to allow proper rising and avoid overflow, guaranteeing perfectly shaped breakfast muffins.
- Cooling Strategy: Allow muffins to rest briefly in the tin before removing to maintain structural integrity and prevent breaking during transfer.
