Ingredients: The Savory Essentials
A great breakfast muffin relies on the ratio of fat to flour to ensure it doesn’t become dry. Here is your “unabashedly good” shopping list:
- 1 Pound Breakfast Sausage: Use a high-quality pork sausage. “Hot” or “Maple” varieties can be used to customize the flavor profile.
- 1 Cup Bisquick Baking Mix: The leavening agent and flour base that ensures a consistent, fluffy rise.
- 1 Cup Shredded Sharp Cheddar Cheese: Provides the “gooey” pockets of flavor and helps bind the muffin.
- 2 Large Eggs: For structure and a rich, golden hue.
- 1/4 Cup Milk: To hydrate the mix and create a tender crumb.
- Optional: 1/2 tsp Garlic Powder and a pinch of Dried Chives for added aromatic depth.
