Ingredients
Scale
Protein:
- 1 pound (454 grams) breakfast sausage (cooked and drained)
- 4 large eggs (whisked)
Dairy:
- 1 cup (240 milliliters) sharp cheddar cheese (shredded)
Dry Ingredients:
- 1 cup (120 grams) Bisquick baking mix
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a 12-cup muffin tin by generously coating with non-stick cooking spray or lightly greasing with butter.
- In a medium skillet over medium heat, cook the breakfast sausage, continuously breaking it into crumbly pieces until completely browned and thoroughly cooked, approximately 5-7 minutes. Carefully drain excess fat using a colander or paper towels.
- Whisk the eggs in a spacious mixing bowl until smooth and well-combined. Gradually incorporate the shredded sharp cheddar cheese and Bisquick baking mix, stirring until the mixture forms a uniform consistency.
- Gently fold the fully cooked sausage into the egg and cheese batter, ensuring an even distribution of ingredients throughout the mixture.
- Distribute the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each approximately two-thirds full to allow proper rising during baking.
- Transfer the muffin tin to the preheated oven and bake for 20-22 minutes, or until the tops develop a golden-brown color and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Remove from the oven and let the muffins rest in the tin for 3-5 minutes to facilitate easier removal, then transfer to a wire cooling rack or serve immediately while warm.
