Cheddar Sausage Muffin Recipe

A savory muffin recipe made with shredded cheddar cheese and pork sausage. This unique muffin is best served for breakfast or brunch with eggs or a breakfast casserole and fresh fruit.

Cheddar sausage muffins are a hearty Southern treat that tastes just like home style cooking should and make a delicious breakfast recipe.

Made with egg, butter, and milk these are full flavored muffins that may not fit in a diet plan, but turn out oh, so good!

As an added note, I would recommend using sharp cheddar cheese versus mild or medium. Once baked, the cheese flavor mellows so the sharper the cheese is, the more pronounced the flavor will be. View more recipes like this cheddar sausage muffins.

Prep Time: 15 minutes

Bake Time: 20 minutes

Ingredients:

2 cups of flour
3 teaspoons baking powder
2 Tablespoons sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 egg
1/4 cup butter, melted
1 cup milk
1/2 cup to 3/4 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
8 ounces (1/2 pound) bulk pork sausage

Instructions:

Step 1:  Preheat your oven to 375 degrees.

Step 2:  Fry the sausage in a frying pan until cooked. Cool slightly and drain off the excess fat. Set aside and let the sausage cool.

Step 3:  In a medium mixing bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.

Step 4:  In a separate bowl, beat the egg slightly. Using a whisk, mix together the egg, butter, and milk.

Step 5:  Stir the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients just until moistened.

Step 6:  Gently fold in the cooled sausage and shredded cheese.

Step 7:  Grease a standard size muffin pan that makes 12 muffins or use paper baking cups and fill each of them 2/3 full with the batter.

Step 8:  Bake the cheddar sausage muffins at 375 degrees for 18 to 22 minutes. Cool for 5 minutes before removing from the muffin pans.

This recipe makes 12 muffins.

***If you have been having trouble with your muffins not rising as light and fluffy as you would like, Alton Brown's Book, I'm Just Here for More Food: Food x Mixing + Heat = Baking is a very good resource that breaks down the baking process step by step and goes into a nice amount of detail on the how's and why's of your baked goods not turning out and how you can improve your baking.
