Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 pound breakfast sausage (spicy or mild)
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or your favorite cheese)
  • 1 cup milk
  • 3 large eggs
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard (optional) Adds a lovely kick

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a muffin tin or line it with muffin liners.
  2. Cook the breakfast sausage in a skillet over medium heat until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Drain excess grease and let it cool.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together the milk and eggs, adding the Dijon mustard if using.
  4. In another bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, salt, and pepper.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring gently until combined. Fold in the cooked sausage and cheese.
  6. Scoop the batter into the muffin tin, filling each cup about ¾ full. Bake for 18-20 minutes until golden brown.
  7. Cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

Notes

Consider adding chopped spinach or bell peppers for added nutrition. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week or freeze for up to three months. Reheat in the microwave.
