Description
Savory, protein-packed breakfast muffins made with sausage, cheese, and a fluffy biscuit-style batter. Perfect for make-ahead breakfasts, brunch spreads, or a quick grab-and-go snack.
Ingredients
- 1 pound breakfast sausage (pork or turkey)
- 1 cup Bisquick baking mix
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 3 large eggs
- ¼ cup milk
- ½ tsp garlic powder (optional)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease or line a 12-cup muffin tin.
- Cook sausage in a skillet over medium heat, breaking it up until browned and cooked through. Drain excess grease and let cool slightly.
- In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, Bisquick, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until smooth.
- Fold in cooked sausage and cheddar cheese until just combined.
- Spoon mixture evenly into muffin cups, filling about ¾ full.
- Bake 20–25 minutes, until golden and set in the center. Cool 5 minutes before removing from the tin.
Notes
- Add diced peppers, onions, or jalapeños for extra flavor.
- Use turkey sausage and reduced-fat cheese for a lighter version.
- Swap cheddar with pepper jack, Swiss, or mixed cheeses.
- Add spinach or zucchini for a veggie boost.
- Freeze cooled muffins up to 2 months; reheat in microwave or oven.
