Ingredients
For the Muffins
-
1 cup all-purpose flour
-
1 tbsp sugar
-
1 tsp baking powder
-
½ tsp salt
-
1 cup milk
-
1 egg
-
2 tbsp melted butter
-
2 tbsp maple syrup
For the Filling
-
6 sausage patties cooked and flattened
-
6 eggs scrambled or fried
-
6 slices American cheese
Optional Add-ins
-
Sharp cheddar cheese for stronger flavor
-
Turkey sausage for a lighter option
-
Drizzle of hot honey for a sweet-spicy twist
Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a standard muffin tin well and set aside.
-
In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until evenly combined.
-
Add milk, egg, melted butter, and maple syrup to the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
-
Cook the sausage patties in a skillet until fully browned. Drain excess grease and flatten slightly so they fit inside the muffin cups.
-
Scramble or fry the eggs according to preference and set aside.
-
Spoon a small layer of batter into the bottom of each muffin cup.
-
Add one sausage patty, a portion of egg, and half a slice of American cheese to each cup.
-
Cover the filling with additional batter until the muffin cups are just filled.
-
Bake for 18–20 minutes, or until muffins are puffed and golden brown.
-
Let the muffins cool slightly before removing from the pan. Serve warm.
Notes
-
Do not overmix the batter to keep muffins soft and fluffy.
-
Allow muffins to cool slightly so layers hold together when removed.
-
Store leftovers once fully cooled.
