First, preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). This ensures that your muffins bake evenly and rise beautifully.
Next, grease a muffin tin with cooking spray or line it with muffin liners. This step is crucial for easy removal of the muffins later.
In a skillet over medium heat, cook your breakfast sausage alternative until browned. Once cooked, set it aside to cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together 1 ½ cups of all-purpose flour, 1 tablespoon of baking powder, and a pinch of salt.
In another bowl, beat 3 large eggs and add 1 cup of milk. Then, mix in 1 cup of shredded cheese and a handful of chopped fresh herbs.
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined.
Fold in the cooked sausage and any additional vegetables you like.
Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about two-thirds full.
Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 18-20 minutes. You’ll know they’re done when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Once baked, remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the tin for about 5 minutes. Then, transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely. Serve warm, and enjoy your festive Easter Eggs & Sausage Muffins!
