Ingredients
Scale
- 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)
Instructions
- Cook the Sausage:
- 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:
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and paprika.
- Add the Cheeses:
- Stir in the shredded cheddar and mozzarella cheeses into the dry ingredients.
- Combine the Wet Ingredients:
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, Greek yogurt or sour cream, eggs, and melted butter until smooth.
- Mix the Batter:
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Fold in the cooked sausage.
- Fill the Muffin Tin:
- 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:
- 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:
- 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!
