Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 pound Ground breakfast sausage
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 1 tablespoon Granulated sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 cup Milk
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
- 2 Eggs
- 1 cup Shredded Swiss cheese
- 0.25 cup Chopped green onions (optional)
- 1 as needed Cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 12-cup muffin tin with cooking spray or line it with muffin liners.
In a medium skillet, cook the ground sausage over medium heat until fully browned, breaking it into small crumbles as it cooks. Drain excess fat and set aside to cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt to combine the dry ingredients.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the milk, melted butter, and eggs until smooth.
Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the bowl of dry ingredients, stirring just until combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.
Fold in the cooked sausage, shredded Swiss cheese, and green onions (if using) until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 3/4 full to allow room for rising.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the muffins are golden on top and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the muffin tin from the oven and let the muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes. Then transfer the muffins to a wire rack to cool slightly before serving.
Serve warm, or allow the muffins to cool completely before storing in an airtight container for up to 3 days or freezing for longer storage.
