  3. In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk. Mix in the cooked sausage, shredded cheese, flour, baking powder, salt, and black pepper. Stir gently until combined.
  4. Pour the mixture into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about two-thirds full.

Notes

To keep your muffins fresh, store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. They can also be frozen for later enjoyment. Reheat in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 15 minutes.
