Ingredients

- 4 eggs: These bind everything together, adding moisture and richness.
Gather these ingredients, and you’re halfway to having delicious breakfast muffins on your table!
Step-by-Step Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Start by heating your oven to 350°F (175°C). This ensures it’s at the perfect temperature by the time you’re ready to bake.
- Cook the Sausage: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the sausage until it’s nicely browned and crumbly. Be sure to drain off any excess grease to keep your muffins from being too oily.
- Mix the Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk the eggs before stirring in the cheese, Bisquick, and cooked sausage. Mix until everything is well combined, ensuring each bite of muffin will be as delicious as the last.
- Fill the Muffin Tins: Grease a 12-cup muffin tin and evenly distribute the mixture into each cup, filling them about two-thirds full. This allows room for the muffins to rise without spilling over.
- Bake: Pop the muffin tin in the oven and bake for 20 minutes. You’ll know they’re done when they’re golden brown, and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Cool and Serve: Let the muffins cool for a few minutes before serving. This makes them easier to handle and allows the flavors to settle, making them even more delicious.
Tips and Tricks
To make sure your Easy Sausage Breakfast Muffins turn out perfectly every time, here are a few tips and tricks:
- Don’t Overmix: When combining your ingredients, mix just until everything is incorporated. Overmixing can lead to tough muffins.
- Customize Your Fillings: Feel free to add in your favorite veggies, like diced bell peppers or onions, for an extra burst of flavor and color.
- Storage: These muffins store well in the fridge for up to a week. Just reheat in the microwave for a quick breakfast on the go.
Serving Suggestions
These muffins are fantastic on their own, but if you’re looking to round out your breakfast, here are a few ideas:
- Pair with Fruit: A side of fresh fruit or a fruit salad makes for a refreshing contrast to the savory muffins.
- Add a Spread: For an extra treat, serve your muffins with a side of butter, cream cheese, or even avocado spread.
- Beverage Pairing: A hot cup of coffee, tea, or a glass of cold milk complements these muffins beautifully.
FAQs
- Can I make these muffins ahead of time? Absolutely! They’re great for meal prep. Just bake, cool, and store in the fridge or freezer.
