Sausage Muffins with Bisquick: A Professional Guide
Ingredients:
- 1 pound ground breakfast sausage (any flavor)
- 1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup Bisquick Baking Mix
Instructions:
- Prepare the Sausage: In a skillet over medium heat, brown the ground sausage. Ensure all excess fat is drained before proceeding.
- Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it reaches the desired temperature while you prepare the muffin mixture.
- Combine Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, shredded Cheddar cheese, and Bisquick Baking Mix until thoroughly combined.
- Incorporate Sausage: Gently fold the pre-cooked sausage into the egg mixture until evenly distributed.
- Prepare the Muffin Pan: Grease 12 cups of a muffin pan to prevent sticking. You can use butter, oil, or cooking spray for this.
- Fill the Cups: Spoon the mixture into the muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full.
- Bake: Place the muffin pan in the preheated oven and bake for 18 to 20 minutes. The muffins should be golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center should come out clean.
