Prepare muffin pan by spraying with cooking spray. If using cupcake liners – spray lightly with cooking spray also. Because of the egg content, these tend to stick to paper cupcake liners!

Spoon approximately 1/3 cupful into each greased muffin cup. (This will fill the muffin tin, or liner, to the top and that is alright).

Place in oven and bake at 350 degrees for 25 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.

NOTES:

I brown the whole 1 lb roll of sausage and freeze the second half of sausage. This makes quick work of making the second batch of breakfast muffins, as you can skip the step of browning the meat 🙂

Store muffins in refrigerator up to 5 days. OR, can be frozen – take out and allow to thaw in fridge overnight before attempting to warm.
