Ingredients
1 pound ground breakfast sausage
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1 cup self-rising flour
4 large eggs
1 cup whole milk
Instructions
1. Brown the ground sausage in a skillet over medium heat, breaking it into small crumbles. Cook until fully browned and crispy in spots. Drain excess fat and let cool slightly.
2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk the eggs until smooth, then stir in the milk.
3. Add the self-rising flour and shredded cheddar cheese to the egg mixture. Stir until combined, but don’t overmix.
4. Fold in the cooked sausage, making sure it’s evenly distributed throughout the batter.
5. Grease a standard metal muffin tin and fill each cup about 3/4 full with the batter.
6. Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 20–25 minutes, or until golden brown on top and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
7. Let the muffins cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack or serving warm.
Notes
Use freshly shredded cheese for better melt and texture.
Make sure to use self-rising flour; it gives structure and lift.
You can make a double batch and freeze extras individually for easy reheating.
