Ingredients

  • 1 lb sausage (Italian, breakfast, or your choice)
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt or sour cream
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup melted butter
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Cook the Sausage:

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). In a skillet over medium heat, cook the sausage until browned and fully cooked. Drain any excess grease and set aside to cool slightly.

Mix the Dry Ingredients:

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and paprika.

Add the Cheeses:

  1. Stir in the shredded cheddar and mozzarella cheeses into the dry ingredients.

Combine the Wet Ingredients:

  1. In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, Greek yogurt or sour cream, eggs, and melted butter until smooth.

Mix the Batter:

  1. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Fold in the cooked sausage.

Fill the Muffin Tin:

  1. Grease a 12-cup muffin tin or line with paper liners. Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.

Bake:

  1. Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the muffins are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Serve:

  1. Let the muffins cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy them warm or at room temperature!
