These homemade sausage muffins are savory and satisfying breakfast treats that require little effort and<\/em> can be made ahead of time. Packed with Italian sausage, scrambled eggs and cheddar cheese, they’ll become your favorite breakfast muffins<\/a> and omelet mashup. Grab one (or two) before you leave the house\u2014no drive-thru required.<\/p>\n While the sausage and egg muffins recipe is easy, it requires some prep: Cook the sausage, scramble the eggs, fold everything into a classic muffin mix and bake. You can store the sausage egg muffins in the fridge for a week, or even longer in the freezer. Then, reheat them for a quick, nutritious breakfast. The tender, moist sausage breakfast muffins burst with cheesy goodness and flavorful sausage in every bite. These are perfect for busy mornings, brunch gatherings, or as a grab-and-go snack.<\/p>\n Preheat the oven to 400\u00b0F. In a large nonstick skillet, cook the sausage over medium heat for six to eight minutes or until no longer pink, breaking it into crumbles. Remove with a slotted spoon; drain on paper towels. Wipe the skillet clean.<\/p>\n In a small bowl, whisk five eggs. Pour eggs into the same skillet; cook and stir over medium heat until thickened and no liquid egg remains. Remove from heat.<\/p>\n Editor’s Tip:<\/em> Don’t overcook the eggs, especially since you’ll bake them in the oven afterward. Overcooked eggs feel rubbery and look dry. Take your eggs off the heat once most of the liquid is gone because they will keep cooking a bit.<\/p>\n In a large bowl, whisk the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. In another bowl, whisk the remaining eggs, milk and oil until blended. Add the egg mixture to the flour mixture and stir just until moistened.<\/p>\n Add in 2\/3 cup cheese, the cooked sausage and the scrambled eggs.<\/p>\n Fold the ingredients until just combined.<\/p>\n Fill greased or paper-lined muffin cups three-fourths full with the muffin batter. Sprinkle the tops with the remaining cheese and bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool for five minutes before removing from the pans to wire racks. Serve the muffins warm.<\/p>\n To store sausage breakfast muffins and keep them fresh, cool them on a wire rack to prevent condensation and sogginess. Once cooled, place the muffins in an airtight container or resealable storage bag to maintain their freshness and prevent them from drying out.<\/p>\n If you plan to eat them within a week, store the sausage and egg muffins in the refrigerator, which helps keep them fresh and safe to eat. When you’re ready to enjoy them, simply reheat the muffins in the microwave on high for 20 to 30 seconds or until warm.<\/p>\n Yes, you can freeze sausage muffins to extend their shelf life. First, allow the muffins to cool completely on a wire rack. Once cooled, wrap each muffin individually in storage wrap or aluminum foil, then place them in a resealable freezer bag or an airtight container. Store them in the freezer for up to three months.<\/p>\n When you’re ready to enjoy them, thaw the sausage egg muffins in the refrigerator overnight and then reheat them in the microwave for 45 to 60 seconds, or reheat them directly from frozen for a bit longer.<\/p>\n Dry muffins can result from overbaking, overmixing the batter or using too little fat. Bake the sausage and egg muffins just until a toothpick comes out clean, and mix the batter only until combined.<\/p>\n Like all muffin recipes, these sausage breakfast muffins can be a meal unto themselves or paired with your favorite breakfast sides. Serve them with crispy hash brown potatoes<\/a> or home fries<\/a>. For a lighter option, pair them with a colorful fruit salad or a yogurt parfait<\/a> layered with granola and fresh fruit. They’re an excellent option for a brunch picnic, or add them to your buffet spread with other incredible make-ahead brunch recipes<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" These savory sausage muffins are a perfect grab-and-go breakfast option.
