Sausage, Egg & Cheese Bisquick® Muffins
The ultimate grab-and-go breakfast! Savory, fluffy, and packed with protein, these muffins are like a complete breakfast sandwich in handheld form. Perfect for meal prep, busy mornings, or brunch spreads.
INGREDIENTS
· 1 lb breakfast sausage (mild or hot), casings removed if needed
· 1 small onion, finely diced (optional)
· 2 cups original Bisquick® mix
· 1 cup milk
· 4 large eggs, divided
· 1 ½ cups shredded cheddar cheese (divided)
· ½ teaspoon garlic powder
· ½ teaspoon black pepper
· Optional add-ins: Diced bell peppers, chopped spinach, jalapeños, or a dash of hot sauce.
INSTRUCTIONS
Step 1: Prep & Cook Sausage
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Generously grease a standard 12-cup muffin tin (or use paper liners).
- In a skillet over medium heat, cook sausage and onion (if using), breaking it up into crumbles until browned and cooked through. Drain excess fat and let cool slightly.
Step 2: Make the Batter
- In a large bowl, whisk together the Bisquick mix, milk, 2 of the eggs, garlic powder, and pepper until just combined (a few lumps are fine—don’t overmix).
- Stir in the cooked sausage and 1 cup of the shredded cheese (and any other add-ins).
Step 3: Assemble the Muffins
- Divide the batter evenly among the 12 prepared muffin cups, filling each about ⅔ full.
- With the back of a spoon, make a small well in the center of each muffin.
- Carefully crack the remaining 2 eggs into a small bowl, one at a time, and gently slide one egg yolk (or a portion of the whole egg) into the well of each muffin. It’s okay if some white spills over.
· Pro-Tip: For a more integrated egg, you can lightly beat the last 2 eggs and pour a little into each well instead.
Step 4: Bake & Serve
- Sprinkle the remaining ½ cup of cheese over the tops.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the muffins are golden brown, the egg is set to your liking, and a toothpick inserted into the batter part comes out clean.
- Let cool in the pan for 5 minutes before carefully removing. Serve warm!

PRO TIPS & VARIATIONS
· Egg Doneness: For a runny yolk, aim for 20-22 minutes. For fully set eggs, bake 23-25 minutes.
· Prevent Sticking: Grease the tin well, especially the top surface. These muffins rise and can stick at the “muffin top” edge.
· Customize the Meat: Use cooked, crumbled bacon, ham, or turkey sausage.
· Vegetarian Version: Use a plant-based sausage crumble or sautéed mushrooms. Add more veggies like spinach or tomatoes.
· Make Ahead: Cool completely, store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days, or freeze for up to 2 months.
· Reheating: Reheat in the microwave for 30-60 seconds, or in a toaster oven/air fryer at 350°F for 5-7 minutes to restore crispness.
Easy Dipping Sauces:
· Spicy Mayo: ½ cup mayo + 1 tbsp sriracha.
· Easy Sausage Gravy: Heat a can of country gravy and spoon over muffins.
· Ketchup or Hot Sauce – classic and easy!
SERVING SUGGESTIONS
· Perfect alone for a portable breakfast.
