Ingredients
1/2 pound ground sausage
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
2 large eggs
3/4 cup milk
1/4 cup melted butter
Instructions
1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 12-cup muffin tin or use silicone liners.
2. In a skillet over medium heat, cook the sausage until browned and no longer pink. Drain and let cool.
3. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and pepper.
4. In another bowl, beat the eggs, then whisk in the milk and melted butter.
5. Add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients and gently fold until just combined.
6. Stir in the cooked sausage and shredded cheese until evenly distributed.
7. Spoon the batter into the muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.
8. Bake for 20–25 minutes or until golden and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
9. Let cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack. Serve warm or store for later.
Notes
Let sausage cool before adding to batter to avoid curdling the eggs.
Don’t overmix the batter to keep muffins tender.
Use silicone liners or nonstick spray for easy muffin removal.
