- Preheat Oven
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a muffin tin or line it with paper muffin cups. - Cook the Sausage
In a skillet over medium heat, cook the sausage until browned and fully cooked. Drain any excess grease and set it aside to cool slightly. - Mix the Batter
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until well combined. Gradually add the Bisquick mix, stirring until a thick batter forms. - Add Cheese and Sausage
Fold the shredded cheddar cheese and cooked sausage into the batter. Add black pepper, if using, and mix until evenly distributed. - Fill Muffin Cups
Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 3/4 full. - Bake
Place the muffin tin in the oven and bake for 18–22 minutes, or until the muffins are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. - Cool and Serve
Allow the muffins to cool for a few minutes in the tin before transferring them to a wire rack. Serve warm and enjoy!
