Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound breakfast sausage
- 1 cup Bisquick baking mix
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 4 eggs
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 12-cup muffin tin thoroughly. This prevents sticking and ensures an even golden crust.
- Cook the Sausage: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the sausage until browned, breaking it into small crumbles as it cooks. Drain excess grease and let the sausage cool slightly.
- Mix the Dry Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine Bisquick baking mix and shredded cheddar cheese, stirring to distribute the cheese evenly.
- Combine the Mixture: Crack the eggs into the bowl, add the cooked sausage, and stir until all ingredients are well combined into a cohesive batter.
- Fill the Muffin Tin: Spoon the mixture evenly into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about three-quarters full.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the tops are set and golden brown. Test doneness by inserting a toothpick; if it comes out clean, the muffins are ready.
- Cool and Serve: Let the muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack. Serve warm, or store for later use.
Notes
- Cool the sausage before mixing it with the eggs to avoid scrambling them.
- Shred your own cheddar for the best texture and flavor. Pre-shredded cheese contains anti-caking agents that can affect the muffins.
- Customize with add-ins like diced bell peppers, spinach, or spicy jalapeños for extra flavor and nutrition.
