Ingredients
Scale
Meat
- 1 pound sausage
Baking Ingredients
- 1 cup flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Dairy & Eggs
- 1 cup milk
- 2 eggs
- 1 cup shredded cheese
Instructions
- Preheat oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking the muffins.
- Brown the sausage: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the sausage until it is browned and fully cooked through, breaking it up as it cooks.
- Mix dry ingredients: In a bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt to evenly distribute the leavening agents and seasoning.
- Combine wet ingredients: In a separate bowl, beat the eggs and then add the milk, mixing well to combine the liquids.
- Combine wet and dry: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently just until combined to avoid overmixing.
- Add sausage and cheese: Fold the cooked sausage and shredded cheese into the batter, ensuring even distribution.
- Fill muffin tins: Pour the batter evenly into the prepared muffin tins, filling each cup about 2/3 full to allow for rising.
- Bake: Bake the muffins in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until they turn golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Notes
- You can substitute the sausage with turkey sausage for a leaner option.
- Adding chopped vegetables like bell peppers or spinach can enhance nutrition and flavor.
- Use your favorite shredded cheese such as cheddar or mozzarella.
- Allow muffins to cool for a few minutes before removing from the tin to prevent breaking.
- These muffins can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated before serving.
