Ingredients
– 1 pound (454 grams) breakfast sausage (preferably from a roll, and it can be mild, medium, or hot)
– 4 large eggs
– 1 cup (about 113 grams) shredded cheddar cheese
– 2 cups (about 250 grams) baking mix (any variety can be used)
Instructions
1-Getting started: with sausage breakfast muffins is straightforward and fun, especially when you follow these clear steps. Begin by preheating your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and greasing a 12-cup muffin pan to ensure easy removal later. This recipe combines savory flavors with minimal effort, making it ideal for quick meals.
2-First, cook the crumbled sausage over medium-high heat until itβs no longer pink, then drain the fat and let it cool slightly to avoid scrambling the eggs too early. In a large bowl, lightly beat the 4 large eggs, then add the 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese, the 2 cups of baking mix, and the cooked sausage, mixing everything well for an even distribution. Fill the muffin cups about three-quarters full with the mixture, and if you like, sprinkle extra cheese on top for added gooeyness.
3-Bake the muffins for 18 to 20 minutes or until they turn golden brown on top, checking for doneness to keep them moist and flavorful. Once baked, let them cool slightly in the pan before removing this helps prevent breakage and makes serving easier.
