Sausage, Egg and Cheese Muffins
A few years ago, I worked as an HR Manager for a Wholesale Nursery that was run by a wonderful family…not sure if I should mention their name or not…hmmmm…lets wait to hear from them. Anyway, I ran into Don and Kathy, the owners who I hadn’t seen since I left my job at the Nursery. The main offices were housed in a ranch house with a full kitchen of which I made great use. I used to get into the office in the morning and either bake a cake or make my apparently famous Sausage, Egg and Cheese Muffins. As I was talking to Don he reminded me that I used to do this and asked if I could come back and make him some so as they are his favorites; I told him I would post it on my web site. It was wonderful to see you and Kathy again Don…keep in touch. I would love to make you some more muffins.
1 package of sausage links
3 green onions (as I recall, Don asked me to leave these out but I really like them so the choice is yours)
2 eggs
1 ½ cups of shredded cheddar cheese
2 tubes of buttermilk hungry Jack biscuits
Salt and pepper
Preheat oven to 350 degrees
1. Cook sausage in a skillet over medium heat until browned and cooked thru.
2. Meanwhile, take tubes of biscuits and separate each biscuit into two biscuits and press down each half into a cupcake tin and pressing up the sides. The cup cake tins do not need to be buttered as there is a lot of butter in the biscuits and they will not stick.
3. Mix, two eggs, salt and pepper to taste in a bowl and add green onion if you so choose and add cheese. My family likes cheese so sometimes I add 2 cups.
4. Remove sausage from skillet and slightly cool and chop links into smaller pieces. This is also a preference, my family likes the chunks of sausage where some might like is a little more finely chopped.
5. Take a spoonful of sausage and place into the bottom of the biscuit and then top with the egg and cheese mixture. I use a cookie scoop the get the right portion into the biscuit.
6. Bake for about 8 to 10 minutes or until the biscuit edges are lightly brown and egg looks to be set.
Remove, serve and enjoy!
Sometimes, the biscuits may stick around the top due to the egg and cheese so I just use a knife to loosen around the sides.
