Ingredients

• 1 pound Breakfast sausage
• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 2 cups Shredded cheddar cheese
• 1 cup Milk
• 2 units Large eggs
• 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease or line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.

Step 2

In a skillet over medium heat, cook the breakfast sausage until browned and fully cooked, breaking it into crumbles as it cooks. Drain any excess grease and let it cool slightly.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and ground black pepper until combined.

Step 4

Add the shredded cheddar cheese to the dry ingredients and toss gently to coat the cheese with the flour mixture.

Step 5

In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, and melted butter until smooth.

Step 6

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.

Step 7

Fold the cooked and cooled sausage crumbles into the batter until evenly distributed.

Step 8

Divide the batter evenly among the 12 muffin cups, filling them about three-quarters full.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 18–22 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.

Step 10

Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for about 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely or serve warm.
