Cheddar Sausage Muffins
Ingredients:
– 1 cup all-purpose flour
– 1 cup cornmeal
– 1 tablespoon baking powder
– 1/2 teaspoon salt
– 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
– 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
– 1/2 pound cooked sausage, crumbled
– 1/2 cup milk
– 1/2 cup sour cream
– 1/4 cup melted butter
– 2 large eggs
Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Grease a muffin tin or line it with paper liners for easy removal.
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, cornmeal, baking powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to ensure the dry ingredients are evenly distributed.
3. Add the shredded cheddar cheese and crumbled sausage to the dry ingredients. Stir gently to combine and set aside.
4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, sour cream, melted butter, and eggs until well blended.
5. Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Use a spatula to gently fold the mixture together until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.
6. Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about three-quarters full.
7. Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the muffins are golden brown on top and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
8. Remove the muffins from the oven and allow them to cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
9. Serve the Cheddar Sausage Muffins warm or at room temperature. They are best enjoyed fresh on the day they are made, but you can store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two days or freeze them for longer storage.
These Cheddar Sausage Muffins are a delightful blend of cheese and savory sausage flavors in a convenient handheld form. They are perfect for serving at breakfast gatherings, brunches, or even as a tasty snack throughout the day.
