Busy mornings always call for something you can grab on your way out the door. These sausage egg and cheese Bisquick muffins deliver all the savory breakfast flavor you want in one easy handheld bite. They are hearty enough to keep you going yet so simple to prep ahead or whip up fresh for a crowd.
My family always requests these muffins for road trips or holiday mornings. The cheesy tops lure everyone to the kitchen before they even realize breakfast is ready.
Ingredients
- Breakfast sausage: A flavorful protein that gives these muffins their hearty bite Look for high quality sausage with minimal fillers for best texture
- Eggs: Bind all the ingredients together and add rich flavor Fresh large eggs are ideal
- Sharp cheddar cheese: Brings richness and a touch of tang Buy a block and shred it yourself for melting perfection
- Bisquick baking mix: Gives lift and a tender crumb Make sure your Bisquick is fresh for best rise
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare Pan:
- Set your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and grease a twelve cup muffin pan thoroughly This keeps your muffins from sticking and ensures a golden crisp outside
- Cook the Sausage:
- Break apart the sausage in a skillet over medium high heat Let it cook until fully browned with no trace of pink Drain off all the fat so your muffins are not greasy and let the sausage cool for a few minutes so it doesn’t scramble the eggs later
- Mix the Batter:
- In a large mixing bowl beat the eggs lightly until just combined Add the shredded cheddar Bisquick baking mix and cooled cooked sausage Stir until everything is evenly incorporated but do not overmix or the muffins may turn out tough
- Fill the Muffin Cups:
- Using a spoon or scoop fill each muffin cup three quarters full with the mixture This ensures you get the perfect muffin dome when they rise in the oven
- Bake to Perfection:
- Bake for about eighteen to twenty minutes Keep an eye on the tops They should turn golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center will come out clean Once done take out and let the muffins cool for a couple minutes before serving

I think nothing beats the way cheddar cheese bubbles up on top of these muffins My little one always tries to snag the muffin with the crispiest cheese lid and it has turned into a fun weekend tradition
