Step-by-Step Instructions for Cheesy Sausage Muffins
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease your muffin tin or line with paper liners.
  2. Set aside the prepared muffin tin. Ensure every cup is coated if greasing to promote easy removal.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.
  4. In another bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, and melted butter until smooth.
  5. Gently pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir lightly until just combined.
  6. Fold in the cooked, crumbled sausage and shredded cheddar cheese.
  7. Fill each muffin cup about three-quarters full with the batter and bake for about 25 minutes.
  8. Cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack. Serve warm.

Notes

Avoid overmixing to keep the muffins light and fluffy. Cooked sausage should be crumbled finely for even distribution in the batter.
