Hearty sausage breakfast muffins bring savory comfort to morning meals. Rich flavors and simple ingredients combine for a quick, satisfying breakfast you’ll crave.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb (454 g) breakfast sausage
- 6 large eggs
- 1 cup (240 ml) shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup (120 ml) milk
- 1 cup (120 g) all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp (5 ml) baking powder
- 1/2 tsp (2.5 ml) salt
Instructions
- Warm the oven to 375°F (190°C) and prepare a muffin tin by lightly greasing or inserting cupcake liners.
- Sizzle the sausage in a skillet over medium heat, cooking thoroughly until it achieves a rich golden-brown color. Carefully drain any accumulated grease.
- Whisk eggs with milk, incorporating salt and pepper until the mixture becomes smooth and well-blended.
- Fold the cooked sausage, shredded cheese, flour, and baking powder into the egg mixture, stirring gently to create a uniform consistency.
- Distribute the prepared mixture evenly across the muffin tin compartments, ensuring each cavity is filled to a consistent level.
- Transfer the muffin tin to the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, watching for a golden-brown exterior and a firm, set center.
- Allow the muffins to rest and slightly cool for a few minutes before carefully removing from the tin. Serve warm and savor the hearty breakfast treat.
Notes
- Customize protein choices by swapping pork sausage with turkey, chicken, or plant-based alternatives for different dietary needs.
- Try cheese varieties like sharp cheddar, pepper jack, or feta to create unique flavor profiles and keep the recipe exciting.
- Add extra nutrition by mixing in finely chopped spinach, bell peppers, or diced onions for enhanced texture and health benefits.
- Make ahead and freeze these muffins for quick, grab-and-go breakfasts by storing in airtight containers for up to one month.
