Step-by-step instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 12-cup muffin tin.
2. In a skillet over medium heat, cook the breakfast sausage until it’s fully browned and crumbly. Make sure to drain any excess grease.
3. In a large mixing bowl, whisk the eggs until well-beaten. Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese, Bisquick mix, and the cooked sausage until everything is evenly combined.
4. Distribute the mixture into the prepared muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full to allow for rising.
5. Bake in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes, or until the muffins are golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
6. Once baked, let the muffins cool for a few minutes in the tin before transferring them to a wire rack for serving.

Best ways to enjoy it

These muffins can be enjoyed warm from the oven with a touch of butter or served alongside a fresh fruit salad for balance. They also pair perfectly with a hot cup of coffee or a tall glass of orange juice. For those who like a bit of heat, a sprinkling of hot sauce can elevate each bite. Store them in a basket lined with a cloth to keep them warm and inviting for your guests.

How to store

To keep your Easy Sausage Breakfast Muffins fresh, place them in an airtight container once they have cooled completely. They can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. If you want to keep them longer, consider freezing them. Just wrap each muffin tightly in plastic wrap and place them in a freezer-safe bag. They will maintain their best quality for about 2-3 months.

When reheating, simply microwave for about 30-60 seconds or place them in a toaster oven until warmed through.
