How to Make Sausage Breakfast Muffins

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Spray a 12-cup muffin tin with cooking spray.
  3. In a large skillet, crumble 1 pound sausage and cook until browned. Add 4 slices bacon, chopped, and 8 ounces mushrooms, sliced. Cook until bacon is crispy and mushrooms are tender. Season with 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, and 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder.
  4. Drain excess grease from the skillet.
  5. Remove crusts from 6 cups bread (day-old bread works best), tear into small pieces, and place in a large bowl. Add the cooked sausage mixture to the bowl.
  6. Mix well to combine and let cool for 5 minutes.
  7. Add 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese to the bread mixture and stir to combine.
  8. In a medium bowl, whisk together 6 large eggs and 1/2 cup skim milk.
  9. Pour the egg mixture evenly over the bread and meat mixture; stir gently to combine.
  10. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or preferably overnight.
  11. Fill each muffin cup ⅔ full. Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese over the tops.
  12. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until golden brown and set. Use a glass, ceramic, or stoneware baking dish for best results. Metal pans may cause the bottoms to brown too quickly.
  13. Let the muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
