A Little History Behind Savory Breakfast Muffins

Breakfast muffins became popular as home cooks looked for portable, make-ahead meals that could be eaten on the go.

Using Bisquick made these recipes even more appealing by cutting down prep time and ensuring consistent results.

How to Make Sausage Muffins with Bisquick

First Step – Prepare the Sausage

Brown the ground sausage in a skillet over medium heat until fully cooked. Drain off any excess fat and set aside.

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

Mix the Batter

In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, shredded cheese, and Bisquick until well combined.
Stir in the cooked sausage until evenly distributed.

Second Step – Fill the Muffin Pan

Grease a 12-cup muffin pan thoroughly.
Fill each cup about ¾ of the way full with the batter.

Third Step – Bake

Bake for 18 to 20 minutes, or until the muffins are set in the center and lightly golden on top.

Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving.

Cooking Method & Texture Formation

These muffins rely on the Bisquick to create a light, fluffy structure while the eggs bind everything together. Cooking the sausage beforehand ensures even baking and prevents excess grease from affecting the texture. The result is a moist, tender muffin with savory pockets of sausage and melted cheese throughout.

Variations & Customizations

• Cheese Options:
  Cheddar is a favorite, but mozzarella, Swiss, Monterey Jack, pepper jack, or Colby all work beautifully.

• Add-Ins:

  • Diced bell peppers

  • Green onions

  • Spinach

  • Mushrooms

• Spicy Version:
  Use hot breakfast sausage or add a pinch of red pepper flakes.
