Ingredients You’ll Need
- 1 pound ground breakfast sausage (mild, spicy, or maple — all work!)
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or any cheese you love)
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup Bisquick Baking Mix
Tools You’ll Need
- Large skillet (for browning the sausage)
- Mixing bowl
- Whisk or spoon
- 12-cup muffin tin
- Non-stick spray or muffin liners
Ingredient Substitutions & Add-Ins
- Cheese swaps: Try mozzarella for a gentle melt, Swiss for a nutty note, or Monterey Jack for extra creaminess.
- Add veggies: Finely chopped bell peppers, onions, or spinach blend in beautifully.
- Add spice: Use hot sausage, add a pinch of cayenne, or sprinkle red pepper flakes for a little kick.
- Lighten it up: Use turkey sausage and reduced-fat cheese for a leaner version.
Step-by-Step Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Spray a 12-cup muffin tin or line with paper liners.
- Cook the sausage in a skillet over medium heat until browned. Drain excess fat and let it cool slightly.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs until smooth.
- Add Bisquick mix and cheese, then stir in the cooked sausage until everything is evenly combined.
- Scoop the batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about ¾ full.
- Bake for 18–20 minutes, or until the tops are golden and a toothpick comes out clean.
- Cool slightly, then serve warm — or cool completely and freeze for later!
What to Serve with Sausage Muffins
These muffins shine all on their own, but they’re even better with:
- A side of fresh fruit or berries for a bright contrast.
- A yogurt parfait for a balanced breakfast.
- Or a hot cup of coffee or tea for that cozy café-style moment.
Tips for Perfect Muffins
- Don’t overmix the batter — gentle stirring keeps the muffins fluffy.
- Let the sausage cool before adding to the eggs (so it doesn’t cook them).
- If freezing, cool completely first, then store in freezer bags for up to 2 months.
- Reheat in the microwave for 30 seconds or in the oven at 325°F for 10 minutes.
Storage Instructions
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. To freeze, wrap individually and place in a freezer bag — perfect for grab-and-go breakfasts!
