Delicious and hearty Sausage Breakfast Muffins that combine savory breakfast sausage, sharp cheddar cheese, and fluffy eggs into convenient, oven-baked muffins. Perfect for a quick breakfast or on-the-go snack, these muffins are easy to prepare and packed with flavor.

Ingredients

Scale

Sausage Mixture

  • 1 cup breakfast sausage, cooked and crumbled
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Batter

  • 3 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup whole milk
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a muffin tin thoroughly to prevent sticking.
  2. Cook Sausage: In a skillet over medium heat, brown the breakfast sausage until fully cooked and browned. Once done, set the sausage aside to cool slightly.
  3. Mix Eggs and Milk: In a mixing bowl, whisk the eggs and whole milk together until the mixture becomes frothy, ensuring a light muffin texture.
  4. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour and baking powder. Gradually add this dry mixture to the egg mixture, stirring gently until just combined to avoid overmixing.
  5. Fold in Sausage and Cheese: Carefully fold the cooked sausage and shredded cheddar cheese into the batter, distributing them evenly without deflating the mixture.
  6. Fill Muffin Cups: Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin tin cups, filling each about two-thirds full to allow room for rising during baking.
  7. Bake: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the muffins turn golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Cool and Serve: Remove the muffins from the oven and allow them to cool for a few minutes before serving warm or at room temperature.

Notes

  • You can substitute the all-purpose flour with whole wheat flour for a healthier variation, but the texture might be slightly denser.
  • Ensure the sausage is fully cooked before adding to the batter to avoid any food safety issues.
  • Feel free to add chopped green onions, bell peppers, or jalapenos for extra flavor and spice.
  • These muffins can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or frozen for up to 1 month.
  • To reheat, microwave for about 30 seconds or warm in the oven at 350°F for 10 minutes.
