Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Preheat and Prepare
Start by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a standard 12-cup muffin tin or line with paper muffin liners. This step ensures your muffins pop out easily and don’t stick.
Step 2: Cook the Sausage
In a skillet over medium heat, cook the breakfast sausage until fully browned and cooked through, breaking it apart with a spatula into crumbles. Drain excess grease and set aside to cool slightly.
Step 3: Mix the Wet Ingredients
In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until well combined. This mixture is what helps give the muffins a light, moist texture and binds everything together.
Step 4: Add the Dry Ingredients
Stir in the Bisquick baking mix, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper into the egg mixture until just combined. Avoid overmixing – it’s okay if it’s a bit lumpy.
Step 5: Fold in Sausage and Cheese
Gently fold in the cooked sausage and shredded cheese into the batter. You want an even distribution so every muffin has a good balance of meat and cheesy goodness.
Step 6: Fill the Muffin Tin
Spoon the batter evenly into each muffin cup, filling about ¾ full. This gives them room to rise and puff up perfectly.
Step 7: Bake to Perfection
Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 20–25 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Step 8: Cool and Serve
Let the muffins cool for 5 minutes in the tin before transferring them to a wire rack. Serve warm, or allow them to cool completely and store for later.
