Step 3 — Add Cheese and Sausage

Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese followed by the cooked sausage.
Coating the sausage and cheese in the flour mixture helps them stay evenly distributed in the muffins instead of sinking to the bottom.

Step 4 — Mix the Wet Ingredients

In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, and melted butter until smooth.
This liquid mixture will bind everything together and give the muffins their moist, tender texture.

Step 5 — Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients

Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients.
Stir gently with a spatula until just combined—be careful not to overmix. Overmixing can make the muffins dense instead of light.

The batter should be thick and chunky with sausage and cheese visible throughout.

Step 6 — Fill the Muffin Pan

Prepare a 12-cup muffin pan by greasing it or lining it with cupcake liners.
Spoon the batter evenly into each cup, filling them about ¾ full to give space for rising.

Optional: Sprinkle a little extra cheese on top for a golden, cheesy crust.

Step 7 — Bake to Perfection

Place the muffin pan in a preheated 375°F (190°C) oven.
Bake for 18–22 minutes, or until the tops are golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Allow the muffins to cool for a few minutes in the pan before transferring them to a cooling rack.

Serving Suggestions

These hearty sausage muffins are delicious on their own, but here are ways to elevate them:

Storage and Reheating Tips
