These savory egg and cheese breakfast muffins with sausage are a quick, hearty, and delicious option for busy mornings, combining fluffy eggs, melted cheese, and seasoned sausage in a convenient muffin form.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 ounces breakfast sausage, crumbled and cooked
  • 10 large eggs, beaten (room temperature)
  • 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese (about 100 grams)
  • 1/4 cup milk (whole or 2%)
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder (optional)
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh herbs (chives or parsley, optional)
  • Cooking spray or butter for greasing muffin tin

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 12-cup muffin tin with butter or non-stick spray.
  2. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the crumbled sausage and cook for 6-8 minutes, stirring occasionally until browned and no longer pink. Drain excess fat on paper towels and let cool slightly.
  3. In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, pepper, onion powder, and garlic powder until fully combined and slightly frothy.
  4. Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese and cooked sausage evenly into the egg mixture. Fold in fresh herbs if using.
  5. Divide the mixture evenly among the 12 muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.
  6. Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until the eggs are set and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. The tops should be lightly golden.
  7. Allow muffins to cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack.
  8. Enjoy warm or store for later use.

Notes

Use room temperature eggs for better mixing and even baking. Grease the muffin tin well with butter for easier removal and a richer crust. If muffins appear wet after baking, add 2-3 more minutes but watch closely to avoid drying out. These muffins freeze well if cooled completely before wrapping individually.
