Step 4: Prepare the Wet Ingredients
- In a separate bowl, whisk together:
- Eggs
- Milk
- Melted butter
- Sour cream or Greek yogurt
This mixture keeps the muffins moist and fluffy while adding rich flavor.
Step 5: Combine Everything
- Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients and gently mix until just combined.
- Fold in the cooked sausage, shredded cheese, and chopped green onions or peppers.
💡 Tip: Don’t overmix! Stir until combined—lumps are okay. Overmixing can make muffins dense instead of fluffy.
Step 6: Fill the Muffin Tin
- Divide the batter evenly among the 12 muffin cups, filling each about ¾ full.
- Sprinkle extra cheese on top for a golden, cheesy crust.
Step 7: Bake to Perfection
- Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven.
- Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Let the muffins cool for 5 minutes in the pan before transferring to a wire rack.
Step 8: Serve & Enjoy!
- These cheesy, savory muffins are best enjoyed warm! Serve with a side of avocado, fresh fruit, or hot coffee for a complete breakfast.
