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 and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a muffin tin to ensure muffins don’t stick.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
  3. Combine Wet Ingredients: Add the milk, egg, melted butter, and maple syrup to the dry ingredients. Stir gently until the batter is just combined – avoid overmixing for tender muffins.
  4. Prepare Sausage Patties: Cook the sausage patties in a skillet until browned and fully cooked. Drain excess grease and flatten slightly for easier layering in the muffins.
  5. Cook Eggs: Scramble or fry the eggs according to your preference until fully cooked.
  6. Assemble Muffins: Spoon a small layer of batter into each muffin cup to form the base. Place one sausage patty on top, then add a portion of scrambled or fried egg and half a slice of American cheese.
  7. Top with Batter: Cover the fillings with more batter until the muffin cup is nearly full, ensuring the fillings are encased within the muffin once baked.
  8. Bake Muffins: Bake the muffins in the preheated oven for 18 to 20 minutes or until they are golden brown and puffed up.
  9. Cool and Serve: Allow muffins to cool slightly in the tin before removing. Serve warm for the best taste and texture.

Notes

  • You can substitute turkey sausage for a leaner option.
  • For a sharper cheese flavor, swap American cheese with sharp cheddar.
  • Add a drizzle of hot honey on the finished muffin for a sweet and spicy kick.
  • Do not overmix muffin batter to keep the texture light and fluffy.
  • If you prefer, eggs can be cooked in bulk ahead of time to speed up assembly.
