Good morning friends! I’m so excited to share my easy 4-ingredient Sausage Breakfast Muffins recipe with you today on “Life with Jeviko”. These savory muffins are a quick, delicious way to start your day. The best part? They take just minutes to throw together!
I love having a grab-and-go breakfast option like these muffins during busy work weeks. And they’re a nice change of pace from sweet muffins on relaxed weekend mornings too. Read on below for more on why you should add this recipe to your morning routine!
Let’s start with the FAQs:
What makes these muffins special?
These protein-packed muffins are my perfect grab-and-go solution for rushed mornings. With just 15 quick minutes of prep time, you can throw everything in a bowl and have baked muffins in just 35 minutes total. I love that they keep me feeling full and satisfied all morning thanks to the combo of fluffy eggs, savory sausage, and cheddar cheese in each muffin. They’re perfectly convenient, yet still feel like an indulgent treat!
Do they freeze well?
Freezing these muffins makes my life so much simpler! I like to spend an hour or two on Sunday baking up a big batch of 12-24 muffins. Once they cool completely, I wrap individual muffins up tightly in plastic wrap and bag them in the freezer. Then I have easy make-ahead breakfasts ready to defrost and enjoy whenever I’m rushed and need something quick. They hold up beautifully after being frozen and taste just as fresh!
Can I substitute ingredients?
The basic ingredients in these muffins serve as a delicious base, but you can really customize and swap things up to suit your tastes or what you have on hand! I often add a heaping cup of chopped spinach or diced bell peppers to pack extra veggies in. You can switch out the pork sausage for turkey or chicken sausage for a leaner option. Grated pepperjack or mozzarella would also be delicious in place of the cheddar cheese. Get creative with mix-ins!
What do you serve with them?
These muffins are satisfying enough to eat on their own, but dipping them in ketchup or hot sauce adds an extra splash of flavor we love at my house! They also pair nicely with fresh fruit salad packed with diced melon, berries, and citrus pieces. The sweetness balances beautifully with the hearty muffins. And you can never go wrong alongside a container of vanilla Greek yogurt. The creamy, tangy yogurt cools down the spicy sausage and eggs perfectly.
Why should I make this recipe?
If you’re looking for an easy way to get a balanced, protein-rich breakfast on the table fast, these muffins are your solution! Having a batch of these in the fridge or freezer will simplify your mornings and make sure you never have to hit the drive-thru in a rush. Just warm one up, and enjoy a hearty, tasty breakfast filled with veggies, cheese, eggs, and meat that will keep you feeling full and fueled all morning long. It’s an easy recipe that pays off big time in terms of convenience!
