These Easy Sausage Breakfast Muffins are perfect for a quick and satisfying breakfast. Packed with protein and flavor, they’re a great way to start your day or enjoy as a snack.

Ingredients:

• 1 pound breakfast sausage
• 1 cup Bisquick baking mix
• 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
• 4 eggs

Instructions:

1. Preheat Oven and Prepare Pan:
   • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
   • Grease a 12-cup muffin tin or line it with paper muffin liners for easy removal.
2. Cook the Sausage:
   • In a skillet over medium heat, cook the breakfast sausage until it’s browned and crumbly, about 5-7 minutes.
   • Once cooked, remove the sausage from the heat and let it cool slightly.
3. Mix Ingredients:
   • In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked sausage, Bisquick baking mix, shredded sharp cheddar cheese, and eggs.
   • Stir the mixture until all the ingredients are well combined and you have a uniform batter.
4. Fill Muffin Cups:
   • Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin cups, filling each cup about two-thirds full to allow room for rising.
5. Bake:
   • Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 20 minutes, or until the muffins are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
6. Cool and Serve:
   • Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
   • These muffins are delicious both warm and at room temperature.

Tips:

• Storage: Store any leftover muffins in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the microwave for about 20-30 seconds before serving.
• Freezing: These muffins freeze well. Place them in a freezer-safe bag and freeze for up to 2 months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator and reheat in the microwave or oven.
• Variations: Add diced bell peppers, onions, or spinach to the batter for extra flavor and nutrients.
• Cheese Options: Substitute the sharp cheddar with your favorite cheese, such as mozzarella or pepper jack, for a different flavor.
