Instructions
1. Preheat Oven

- Grease a 12-cup muffin tin or line with paper liners
2. Mix Dry Ingredients
- In a bowl, combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder
3. Mix Wet Ingredients
- In another bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, and melted butter
4. Combine Ingredients
- Add wet ingredients to dry ingredients and stir until just combined
- Fold in cooked sausage, shredded cheese, and parsley
⚠️ Don’t overmix—the batter should be slightly lumpy
5. Fill Muffin Tin
- Spoon batter into prepared muffin cups, filling about 2/3 full
6. Bake
- Bake for 18–22 minutes or until golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean
- Let muffins cool for a few minutes before removing from the tin

Tips for Extra Flavor

- Sprinkle extra cheese on top before baking for a cheesy crust
