Introduction
Sausage, Egg & Cheese Bisquick Muffins are a quick, hearty breakfast option that combines classic morning flavors into a convenient grab-and-go form. Made with simple ingredients and baked in a muffin tin, these savory muffins are perfect for busy mornings, meal prep, or casual brunches.
Ingredients
2 cups Bisquick baking mix
1 cup cooked breakfast sausage, crumbled
1½ cups shredded cheddar cheese
4 large eggs
¾ cup milk
½ teaspoon black pepper
¼ teaspoon salt
Optional additions:
Chopped green onions
Diced bell peppers
Cooked bacon bits
Instructions
Preheat oven to 190°C / 375°F. Grease or line a muffin tin.
In a skillet, cook sausage over medium heat until fully browned. Drain excess grease.
In a large bowl, whisk together eggs and milk.
Stir in Bisquick, salt, and pepper until just combined.
Fold in cooked sausage and shredded cheese.
Divide batter evenly among muffin cups, filling about ¾ full.
Bake for 18–22 minutes, or until muffins are golden and set in the center.
Remove from oven and let cool for 5 minutes before serving.
Description
These muffins are soft, savory, and filling, with fluffy eggs, melty cheese, and well-seasoned sausage in every bite. They bake up golden on the outside while staying moist and tender inside, making them a satisfying breakfast or snack.
Tips
Use pre-cooked sausage to save time.
Do not overmix the batter to keep muffins light.
Let muffins cool slightly to help them release cleanly.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
Variations
Spicy: Use hot sausage or add diced jalapeños.
Veggie: Replace sausage with sautéed vegetables.
Low-fat: Use turkey sausage and reduced-fat cheese.
Mini muffins: Bake in mini tins for 12–15 minutes.
Freezer-friendly: Cool completely and freeze for up to 2 months.
Correction (Common Mistakes to Avoid)
Overbaking, which dries out the muffins.
Using too much liquid, resulting in dense texture.
Skipping grease or liners, causing sticking.
Adding sausage while still hot, which can affect batter consistency.
Enjoy
Serve warm on their own or with fresh fruit for a balanced breakfast. These muffins reheat well and are ideal for make-ahead meals throughout the week.
