Ingredients
- 1 lb breakfast sausage
- 1 cup Bisquick baking mix
- 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 4 large eggs
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 12-cup muffin tin or line with paper liners.
- Cook Sausage: In a skillet over medium heat, brown and crumble the breakfast sausage until fully cooked. Drain excess grease and set aside to cool slightly.
- Mix Batter: In a large mixing bowl, whisk the eggs. Add Bisquick and shredded cheddar, stirring until well combined. Fold in the cooked sausage.
- Fill Muffin Tin: Evenly distribute the mixture into the muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
- Bake: Bake for 18-20 minutes, until muffins are golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Serve: Let muffins cool for 5 minutes before removing from the tin. Serve warm.
Tips
- Variations: Add diced bell peppers, onions, or jalapeños for extra flavor and texture.
- Cheese Swap: Try pepper jack or mozzarella for a different twist.
- Make Ahead: Store baked muffins in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days or freeze for up to 3 months. Reheat in the microwave or oven.
- Bisquick Substitute: If you don’t have Bisquick, mix 1 cup flour, 1½ tsp baking powder, ½ tsp salt, and 1 tbsp melted butter or oil.
Serving Suggestions
