Instructions
Preparation and Baking
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Remove the sausages from the casing and cook them in a medium skillet over medium-high heat until browned and no longer pink in color. Set aside to cool.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, cottage cheese, olive oil, and maple syrup.
- Add the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt to the same bowl. Mix well using a wooden spoon or silicone spatula.
- Stir in the cooked sausages, chopped vegetables, green onions, and cheese (you can save some cheese to sprinkle on top of the muffins).
- Divide the batter evenly among 12 muffin cavities, filling each about 4 heaping tablespoons (or one heaping 1/4 cup).
- Top each muffin with additional cheese if desired, then bake for 23-27 minutes.
Notes
Best served warm. Enjoy with salsa or hot sauce. For longer storage, wrap muffins individually and freeze for up to three months. Consider adding herbs or spices for extra flavor. Use gluten-free options as needed.
