SAUSAGE AND EGG MUFFINS

If your loved one can’t start the day without a hearty breakfast while you need at least half a pot of coffee before even thinking about food, make-ahead meals are the perfect solution—and this recipe is one of them!

Don’t get me wrong, I love breakfast foods, but I prefer them much later in the day. Cooking first thing in the morning? Not for me. I’ll admit, I probably wouldn’t win any “Best Mom” awards for this, but I taught my kids early on to grab a bowl of cereal, yogurt, or fruit because I just couldn’t bring myself to cook right after waking up. If you can relate, this healthy, make-ahead recipe will be a lifesaver for your family!

INGREDIENTS

  • 1 pound sausage, cooked and drained
  • 4 eggs, beaten
  • 1 cup grated cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup Bisquick

INSTRUCTIONS

  • In a medium skillet, cook the sausage until fully browned. Drain and let cool.
  • Transfer the cooked sausage to a large mixing bowl and stir in the Bisquick until well combined.
  • Add the beaten eggs and grated cheese, mixing thoroughly.
  • Lightly grease a 12-cup muffin tin with non-stick spray. Divide the mixture evenly among the cups, filling each about 2/3 full.
  • Bake in a preheated 350°F oven for 20 minutes.
  • Let cool on a wire rack. Enjoy immediately, or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for later.
