Ingredients:

- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt

- 2 large eggs
- ¾ cup milk
- ¼ cup unsalted butter, melted
Instructions:
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners.
- Cook the sausage: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the breakfast sausage, breaking it apart with a spatula, until browned and fully cooked. Drain any excess fat and set aside to cool slightly.
- Prepare the dry ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and black pepper.
- Combine the wet ingredients: In a separate bowl, beat the eggs, then add the milk and melted butter. Mix well.
- Mix it all together: Add the cooked sausage and shredded cheese to the dry ingredients, and pour in the wet mixture. Stir until just combined; do not overmix.
- Fill the muffin tin: Spoon the muffin batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about ¾ full.
- Bake: Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the tops of the muffins are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Serve and enjoy: Let the muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack. Serve warm and enjoy!
