Talk about a breakfast on the go! These work great warmed in the microwave. You can refrigerate them or freeze them. The easiest way to avoid fast food is to make home food convenient. If you are going to spend the time to make something that does keep well or freeze well, make 2 batches.

1 pound hot breakfast sausage

1/2 yellow onion diced

2 eggs

1 1/2 cup baking mix

2/3 cup milk

1/2 cup cheddar cheese

1/3 cup sour cream

1/4 teaspoon each of salt and pepper

1/4 teaspoon ground sage

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Cook the sausage in a skillet. In the last 5 minutes of cooking, add the diced onion. Keep heat on low to caramelize the onion. Drain when finished.

Mix all of the above in a bowl with the cooked sausage.

 

Spray a large muffin tin with baking spray (the one with flour in it). Divide the mix evenly into 6 large muffin tins. Bake for 30-40 minutes or until toothpick inserted is clean. They are actually better re-warmed the day after in my opinion because the texture becomes more dense.
