Ingredients (Makes 12 Muffins)

- 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese: Melty, rich flavor. Pepper jack or Swiss also work great.

- 1/4 cup milk: Helps achieve the perfect batter consistency.
- Optional add-ins: Diced bell peppers, green onions, jalapeños, or spinach.
Instructions
Step 1: Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 12-count muffin tin or line with paper liners.
Step 2: Cook the Sausage
In a skillet over medium heat, cook the sausage until browned and fully cooked. Break it apart into small crumbles.
Drain excess grease and let cool slightly.
Step 3: Prepare the Batter
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk.
- Stir in the Bisquick baking mix until just combined.
- Fold in the shredded cheddar cheese.
- Add the cooked sausage and mix until evenly distributed.
Step 4: Bake
Spoon the mixture evenly into the muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.
Bake for 20–23 minutes or until the tops are golden and a toothpick comes out clean.
Step 5: Cool and Serve
Let the muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.
Serve warm — or store for later.
