Ingredients

Scale

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

  1. Preheat Oven and Prepare Muffin Tin: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a muffin tin to prevent sticking.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt to combine the dry ingredients evenly.
  3. Add Wet Ingredients: Pour in the milk, egg, melted butter, and maple syrup. Stir gently just until combined; avoid overmixing to keep the muffins light and fluffy.
  4. Cook Sausage Patties: Cook the sausage patties in a skillet until nicely browned on both sides. Drain excess grease and flatten the patties slightly for easy assembly.
  5. Prepare Eggs: Scramble or fry the eggs according to your preference, then set aside.
  6. Assemble Muffins: Spoon a layer of batter into each muffin cup, add one sausage patty, a portion of the eggs, and half a slice of American cheese on top.
  7. Top with Batter: Cover the filling with additional muffin batter until each cup is just filled.
  8. Bake: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 18–20 minutes, or until the muffins turn golden brown and puff up.
  9. Cool and Serve: Allow the muffins to cool slightly in the pan before removing and serving warm.

Notes

  • For a stronger cheese flavor, substitute the American cheese with sharp cheddar cheese.
  • For a lighter version, use turkey sausage instead of regular sausage patties.
  • Add a drizzle of hot honey on the finished muffin for a sweet and spicy twist.
  • Ensure not to overmix the batter to keep muffins tender.
  • Use a non-stick or well-greased muffin tin to ensure easy removal.
