Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a muffin tin or line with paper liners for easier cleanup.
- Cook the Sausage: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground sausage until it is browned and cooked through, breaking it into small crumbles with a spoon as it cooks. Once cooked, remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
- Prepare the Cheese Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked sausage, shredded cheddar cheese, shredded mozzarella cheese, and finely chopped green onions. Mix until the ingredients are evenly distributed.
- Prepare the Dry Ingredients: In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
- Combine Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, and melted butter until smooth and well incorporated.
- Mix the Batter: Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.
- Fold in the Cheese and Sausage Mixture: Gently fold the cheese and sausage mixture into the batter until evenly distributed.
- Fill the Muffin Tins: Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 2/3 full. If desired, sprinkle additional shredded cheese on top of each muffin for extra cheesiness.
- Bake until Golden Brown: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the muffins are golden brown on top and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Serve warm or at room temperature, and enjoy the savory perfection of Ultimate Cheesy Sausage Muffins!
