Easy Sausage Muffins
Description
The recipe starts by cooking breakfast sausage until crumbly and well browned, then draining excess fat to prevent greasiness. Mixing the cooked sausage with lightly beaten eggs, sharp cheddar cheese, and a baking mix such as Bisquick integrates savory, cheesy flavor and a stable batter. The batter is spooned into a greased muffin pan and baked at 350°F until the tops are golden brown.
The muffins develop a firm, yet moist texture, combining meaty richness with cheesy notes and a mild bread-like crumb from the baking mix. The baking process yields a nicely browned crust with a tender inside, making them easy to handle for breakfasts or on-the-go meals.
Storing wrapped muffins in the refrigerator keeps them fresh for up to five days, while freezing extends their shelf life to three months. Reheating in the microwave for about a minute refreshes their warmth, and frozen muffins should be thawed overnight to maintain texture.
Ingredients
- 1 pound breakfast sausage bulk
- 4 egg lightly beaten
- 1 cup cheddar cheese shredded, sharp
- 1 cup baking mix recommend: Bisquick
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 12-cup muffin pan and set aside.
- Cook the sausage in a skillet over medium-high heat until no pink color remains. As the sausage cooks, break it up using a potato masher or large fork so that it is crumbly and loose. Drain as much fat as possible from the cooked sausage.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the eggs, shredded cheese, cooked drained sausage and baking mix. Stir until thoroughly combined.
- Fill muffin cups about 3/4 full. Bake for approximately 20 minutes or until golden brown on top.
Notes
- Wrap individual muffins in plastic wrap before refrigerating; keep refrigerated up to 5 days.
- For longer storage, wrap well and freeze muffins for up to 3 months.
- Reheat refrigerated muffins in the microwave for up to 60 seconds to serve warm.
- Defrost frozen muffins overnight in the refrigerator before reheating for best texture.
