Ingredients
Scale
Ingredients
- 1 pound roll of breakfast sausage
- 4 eggs
- 1 cup sharp Cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1 cup Bisquick baking mix
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 12-cup muffin pan with non-stick cooking spray to prevent sticking, then set it aside.
- Cook Sausage: Crumble the breakfast sausage into a skillet and cook over medium-high heat until it is fully browned and no longer pink. Drain off any excess fat, then allow the sausage to cool slightly before proceeding.
- Mix Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, lightly beat the eggs. Add the shredded sharp cheddar cheese, Bisquick baking mix, and the cooked sausage. Stir well to combine all ingredients evenly into a cohesive batter.
- Fill Muffin Cups: Spoon the mixture into the prepared muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full to allow room for rising during baking.
- Bake: Place the muffin pan in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 25-30 minutes, or until the muffins are set, golden on top, and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Cool and Serve: Remove the muffins from the oven and allow them to cool for a few minutes in the pan before transferring them to a wire rack. Serve warm or at room temperature for a convenient, protein-rich breakfast.
Notes
- Use fully cooked sausage to ensure safety and optimal flavor.
- Bisquick baking mix helps bind the ingredients and adds a light texture to the muffins.
- These muffins can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Reheat in the microwave for about 30 seconds before serving if desired.
- You can add chopped vegetables like bell peppers or onions for variation, but this will increase the ingredient count.
