Ingredients:
1 pound ground sausage
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
2 large eggs
1/2 cup milk
1/4 cup melted butter
1/4 cup sour cream or Greek yogurt
Instructions:
Preheat Your Oven
Set your oven to 375°F (190°C). Prepare a muffin tin with paper liners or grease it thoroughly.
Cook the Sausage
In a skillet, cook the ground sausage over medium heat until browned and fully cooked. Crumble the sausage as it cooks, drain the excess fat, and let it cool slightly.
Mix the Dry Ingredients
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper.
Prepare the Wet Ingredients
In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs, milk, melted butter, and sour cream (or Greek yogurt) until smooth and creamy.
Combine the Ingredients
Gradually mix the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until just combined. Fold in the cooked sausage, shredded cheddar cheese, and mozzarella cheese.
Fill the Muffin Tin
Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 3/4 full.
Bake to Perfection
Bake for 18-20 minutes or until the muffins are golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Cool and Serve
Let the muffins cool slightly in the pan before transferring them to a wire rack. Serve warm, or store in an airtight container for a quick breakfast or snack.
