Notes:

Sausage Variations: You can use any flavor of ground breakfast sausage that you prefer—mild, spicy, or even turkey sausage for a lighter option.

Cheese Options: Feel free to experiment with different types of cheese such as mozzarella, pepper jack, or a combination for varied flavors.

Egg Mixture Consistency: Ensure the eggs, cheese, and Bisquick are well combined to achieve a smooth batter before adding the sausage. This helps distribute the ingredients evenly.

Cooking Sausage: When browning the sausage, break it into smaller pieces for quicker and more even cooking. Drain well to remove excess fat, which helps keep the muffins from becoming greasy.

Baking Tips: Preheating the oven ensures even baking. Greasing the muffin pan prevents sticking. Fill each muffin cup about ¾ full to allow room for rising during baking.

Bisquick Substitute: If you don’t have Bisquick, you can make a homemade version by combining flour, baking powder, salt, and a little shortening or butter.

Customization: Add extra ingredients like chopped bell peppers, onions, or herbs for additional flavor and texture.

Storage: These muffins can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for a few days. They also freeze well—just reheat in the microwave or oven before serving.

Serving Suggestions: Enjoy these muffins warm on their own, or pair them with a side of fresh fruit or a simple green salad for a complete meal.

Versatility: These muffins are not only great for breakfast but also make a convenient snack or light lunch option. They’re portable and easy to pack for picnics or road trips.
