Sausage and Cheese Muffin Recipe

American · Main course · 35 min total

Savory, hearty muffins packed with crumbled sausage and melted cheddar cheese, perfect for breakfast or a snack.

Ingredients

• 1 lb breakfast sausage
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 1 cup milk
• 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
• 1 large egg

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Grease a 12-cup muffin tin or line with paper liners.
2. In a skillet over medium heat, cook sausage, breaking it into crumbles, until browned and cooked through. Drain excess fat and set aside to cool slightly.
3. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, and pepper. Stir in shredded cheddar cheese and cooked sausage.
4. In a separate bowl, whisk together milk, melted butter, and egg. Pour into dry ingredients and stir just until combined (do not overmix).
5. Divide batter evenly among muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.
6. Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until golden brown and a toothpick inserted into center comes out clean.
7. Cool in pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Tips

• For extra flavor, add 1/4 cup chopped green onions or bell pepper to the batter.
• Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in microwave or oven.
• These muffins freeze well; wrap individually and freeze for up to 2 months.
