Ingredients:

  • 1 pound ground breakfast sausage
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 3/4 cup milk
  • 1 egg
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted

Directions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 12-cup muffin tin or line with paper liners.
  2. In a skillet over medium heat, cook the sausage until browned and fully cooked, breaking it into small pieces. Drain excess grease and let cool slightly.
  3. In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt. Mix in the shredded cheese.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, and melted butter.
  5. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring just until combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Fold the cooked sausage into the batter until evenly distributed.
  7. Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about three-quarters full.
  8. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the tops are golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  9. Let the muffins cool slightly in the pan before transferring to a wire rack. Serve warm.
