Sausage and Sweet Corn Muffins image

Bell peppers, fresh corn kernels, Cheddar cheese, and pork sausage make delicious breakfast muffins. These would be great with a runny boiled (or steamed) egg tucked inside!

Time 49m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 teaspoons olive oil
12 ounces lean breakfast sausage
½ cup diced red bell pepper
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup corn meal
½ teaspoon baking soda
1 pinch cayenne pepper
2 eggs
1 cup buttermilk
1 cup fresh sweet corn kernels
½ cup chopped green onions
½ cup grated sharp Cheddar cheese, plus more for sprinkling on muffins
¼ cup melted butter

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F ( 190 degrees C). Place paper liners in 12 muffin tin cups.
  • Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Remove casings from sausages (if not packaged in bulk) and place in skillet. Break the sausage into small pieces with a wooden spoon as it cooks. Cook until the sausage is crumbly and thoroughly cooked, about 7 minutes. Add bell pepper; cook for about 2 minutes. Remove skillet from heat. Push sausage mixture to one side of the pan and blot up some of the rendered fat with wadded paper towels leaving about 1 tablespoon. Let mixture cool.
  • Place flour, corn meal, baking soda, and cayenne pepper in a mixing bowl. Whisk until combined.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk eggs and buttermilk together. Add egg/buttermilk mixture slowly to flour/cornmeal mixture. Add fresh corn kernels, green onions, Cheddar cheese, and reserved sausage mixture. Stir in melted butter; mix just until flour is mixed in.
  • Divide batter among cups in prepared muffin pan. Top with a few shreds of Cheddar cheese.
  • Bake until golden brown and a toothpick inserted into a muffin comes out clean, 25 to 30 minutes. Let cool to warm before serving.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my muffins turned out really dry. I think I might have overmixed the batter.

These muffins were a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I would use less sugar next time.

These muffins were a little dry for my taste. I think I would add a little more milk or butter next time.

I'm not a big fan of corn, but these muffins were still delicious. The sausage and cheese really balanced out the sweetness of the corn.
