Best ways to enjoy it
Sausage Breakfast Muffins can be enjoyed in so many ways! Serve them warm, fresh from the oven, alongside a dollop of sour cream or a spread of your favorite jam. For a heartier meal, pair them with a side of fresh fruit or a light salad. They also make a fantastic accompaniment to scrambled eggs or breakfast burritos.
Storage and reheating tips
If you have leftovers (which is rare with these tasty treats!), store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. For longer storage, these muffins freeze beautifully. Just pop them into a freezer-safe bag, and they’ll last for about three months. To reheat, simply warm them in the oven or microwave until heated through.
Helpful cooking tips
- For extra flavor, consider adding in some sautéed onions or peppers with the sausage.
- Ensure your sausage is well-cooked and crumbled to achieve the best texture.
- If you prefer mini muffins, adjust the baking time down to about 12-15 minutes.
Creative twists
These muffins are a blank canvas waiting for your creativity! Try adding diced bell peppers or spinach for a veggie boost, or swap in different types of cheese like mozzarella for a milder flavor. You could even make them spicy by incorporating jalapeños or using chorizo instead of breakfast sausage.
