Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 °F (175 °C). Grease a 12-cup muffin pan well.
Crumble the breakfast sausage into a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook until no pink remains, then drain off the fat. Let the sausage cool slightly.
In a large bowl, lightly beat the eggs. Add the shredded Cheddar cheese, Bisquick, and the cooked sausage; stir until just combined.
Divide the mixture among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about ¾ full.
Bake for 18-20 minutes until the tops are golden brown and the muffins are set. Remove from oven and let cool slightly before removing from the pan.
Test for doneness by inserting a toothpick — it should come out clean or with a few moist crumbs. Remove muffins gently from the pan and serve warm.

Notes

Be sure to drain excess fat after cooking the sausage — this prevents the muffins from being greasy or falling apart.
Don’t over-mix once you add the Bisquick — stir until just combined to keep the muffins light and tender.
If your sausage is very salty, reduce or omit added salt or seasoning.
