Sausage Breakfast Muffins (Printable Recipe)

Cheesy sausage muffins with Bisquick and eggs for a quick, hearty breakfast.

# Ingredients You'll Need:

→ Main Ingredients

01 - 1 pound breakfast sausage
02 - 4 large eggs
03 - 1 cup shredded sharp Cheddar cheese
04 - 1 cup Bisquick baking mix

# Steps to Follow:

01 - Set oven to 350°F. Grease a 12-cup muffin tin liberally with cooking spray or butter for easy release.
02 - Break up sausage in a skillet over medium-high heat. Stir frequently and cook until fully browned with no pink remaining. Drain rendered fat completely and let cool slightly.
03 - Crack eggs into a large mixing bowl and beat until yolks combine smoothly. Add shredded Cheddar, Bisquick mix, and cooled sausage. Gently fold together with a sturdy spoon until no dry streaks remain, avoiding overmixing.
04 - Divide mixture among 12 muffin wells, filling each about 3/4 full. Use a large cookie scoop or spoon for even portions. Press down lightly to pack ingredients.
05 - Bake for 18-20 minutes until tops turn golden brown and muffins spring back when lightly touched. Cool for 5 minutes before removing from pan.

# Extra Tips:

01 - Let sausage cool before mixing to prevent cheese from melting prematurely
02 - Shred cheese from a block for superior melt and flavor
03 - Monitor closely after 16 minutes to prevent overbaking and drying
04 - Store in refrigerator up to 4 days or freeze up to 2 months for meal prep
05 - Reheat frozen muffins wrapped in damp paper towel for best texture
