The Origins of This Comforting Dish

Sausage breakfast muffins combine two breakfast staples—eggs and sausage—into a portable, muffin-sized treat. Similar to frittatas or egg cups, these muffins trace their roots back to old-fashioned American breakfasts, where hearty meats and eggs were essential to start the day. Over time, the idea of a "grab-and-go" breakfast became more popular, leading to creations like these muffins, which are perfect for our modern, busy lifestyles.

Ingredients:

• 1 lb breakfast sausage (bulk or casings removed)
• 6 large eggs
• 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or your favorite variety)
• 1/2 cup milk
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 tsp baking powder
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Optional: chopped green onions or bell peppers for added flavor

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a muffin tin or use muffin liners.
2. In a skillet, cook the sausage over medium heat until browned. Drain any excess grease and let it cool slightly.
3. In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, flour, baking powder, salt, and pepper until well combined.
4. Fold in the cooked sausage, shredded cheese, and any optional veggies like green onions or bell peppers for added flavor.
5. Divide the mixture evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.
6. Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the muffins are puffed and golden on top.
7. Let them cool slightly before enjoying them warm!

Cooking Tips & Pairings

For an extra touch of flavor, try sprinkling some paprika or a little extra cheese on top before baking. These muffins also pair wonderfully with a side of fresh fruit, a dollop of sour cream, or a drizzle of hot sauce if you like a bit of spice in your breakfast. You can even freeze them for later—just reheat in the microwave for a quick and easy breakfast option.
