Ingredients
- 1 pound breakfast sausage
- 1 cup Bisquick baking mix
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 4 eggs
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 12-cup muffin tin to prevent sticking.
- In a skillet over medium heat, cook the breakfast sausage until it’s fully cooked and nicely browned. Use a spoon to crumble the sausage as it cooks. Once cooked, drain off any excess grease.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk the eggs until they’re well beaten. Then, stir in the shredded cheddar cheese, Bisquick baking mix, and the cooked sausage until everything is evenly combined.
- Once the mixture is ready, evenly distribute it into the greased muffin cups, filling each cup about two-thirds full. This will ensure that the muffins rise properly as they bake.
- Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 20 minutes, or until the muffins are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Once baked, remove the muffins from the oven and allow them to cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Serve these delicious Easy Sausage Breakfast Muffins warm and enjoy them as a satisfying breakfast option or a tasty snack on the go!
Notes
- Serving Suggestions: Enjoy these Easy Sausage Breakfast Muffins warm, straight from the oven for the best flavor and texture. Pair them with a side of fresh fruit or a dollop of salsa for an extra burst of flavor. They’re also great on their own as a quick and satisfying breakfast option.
- Make-Ahead Option: These muffins can be made ahead of time and stored for later use. Simply bake a batch according to the instructions, allow them to cool completely, then store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days.
- Freezing Instructions: If you want to make a larger batch and have muffins ready for longer-term storage, you can freeze them. After baking and cooling, individually wrap each muffin in plastic wrap or aluminum foil, then place them in a freezer-safe bag or container. They can be stored in the freezer for up to 2-3 months.
- Reheating: To enjoy leftover or frozen muffins, simply reheat them in the microwave for about 30-60 seconds until warmed through. Alternatively, you can thaw frozen muffins in the refrigerator overnight and then warm them in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for 10-15 minutes.
- Customize to Taste: Feel free to customize these muffins to suit your taste preferences. You can add in additional ingredients like diced vegetables, cooked bacon, or different types of cheese for added flavor and variety.
