Ingredients (Makes 12 Muffins)

• 1 pound breakfast sausage: Pork, turkey, or chicken — your choice. Provides savory flavor and protein.
• 1 cup Bisquick baking mix: Gives the muffins their structure and fluffy texture. Homemade baking mix also works.
• 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese: Melty, rich flavor. Pepper jack or Swiss also work great.
• 4 large eggs: Bind all ingredients and create a light, tender muffin.
• 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

1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk.
2. Stir in the Bisquick baking mix until just combined.
3. Fold in the shredded cheddar cheese.
4. 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.
