Directions

Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare a 12-cup muffin tin by lining it with paper liners or greasing it thoroughly.

Combine Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the beaten eggs, shredded cheese, and Bisquick mix. Add the cooked sausage and optional green onions or chives. Stir until all components are well combined.
Fill the Muffin Tin: Spoon the mixture evenly into the prepared muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full.
Bake: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the muffins are golden brown on top and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Cool and Serve: Allow the muffins to cool for a few minutes in the tin before transferring them to a wire rack. Serve warm.

FAQs

What type of sausage is best for this recipe?

Breakfast sausage is commonly used, but you can experiment with Italian sausage or turkey sausage based on your preference.

Can I make these muffins gluten-free?

Yes, by using a gluten-free baking mix in place of Bisquick, you can make these muffins gluten-free.

How can I prevent the muffins from sticking to the pan?

Using paper liners or thoroughly greasing the muffin tin will help prevent sticking.

Are these muffins suitable for vegetarians?

By omitting the sausage and adding more vegetables or a meat substitute, you can create a vegetarian version.

Can I prepare the batter in advance?

It’s best to bake the muffins immediately after mixing to ensure they rise properly. However, you can cook the sausage ahead of time to save preparation time.

What other cheeses work well in this recipe?

Cheeses like Swiss, mozzarella, gouda, or pepper jack can be used to vary the flavor.

How do I know when the muffins are fully cooked?

The muffins are done when they are golden brown on top and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Can I add herbs to the batter?

Absolutely! Fresh herbs like parsley, thyme, or rosemary can enhance the flavor.

How should I store leftover muffins?

Store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to four days or freeze them for longer storage.

What’s the best way to reheat frozen muffins?

Thaw them overnight in the refrigerator and then microwave for about 20-30 seconds until warmed through.
