Step 4: Add the Dry Ingredients
To the egg mixture, add:
- Bisquick baking mix
- Shredded cheddar cheese
Stir gently until combined. The mixture will be thick — that’s exactly what you want.
Step 5: Fold in the Sausage
Add the cooked sausage into the bowl. Stir until evenly distributed throughout the batter. Make sure each scoop will have a good balance of sausage and cheese.
If using optional vegetables or seasonings, fold them in now.
Step 6: Fill the Muffin Tin
Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared muffin cups, filling each about ¾ full.
Because this batter is thick, you can use an ice cream scoop for easier portioning.
Step 7: Bake to Perfection
Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 18–22 minutes, or until:
- The tops are golden brown
- A toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean
- The muffins feel firm to the touch
Avoid overbaking, as that can dry them out.
Step 8: Cool and Serve
Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.
Serve warm for the best flavor. The cheese will be perfectly melty, and the sausage will remain juicy and flavorful.
Storage and Freezing Tips
One of the best things about sausage muffins is how well they store.
Refrigerator:
Store in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
Freezer:
Wrap individually and freeze for up to 2 months.
To Reheat:
- Microwave for 20–30 seconds (from fridge)
- About 1 minute if frozen
