# Ingredients:
→ Main Ingredients
01 -
1 pound of breakfast sausage, ground
02 -
6 eggs, large size
03 -
2 tablespoons of melted salted butter
04 -
1 3/4 cups of regular all-purpose flour
05 -
2 teaspoons of plain baking powder
06 -
1 small can (7 ounces) of chopped green chilis
07 -
1 1/2 cups of sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
# Instructions:
01 -
Set your oven to 400°F to preheat.
02 -
Grab a nonstick skillet and heat it over medium. Cook the sausage, breaking it into crumbles, until it's no longer pink—should take about 5 minutes. Let it rest for 10 minutes to cool down.
03 -
In a big bowl, toss in the cooled sausage, the eggs, and the melted butter. Beat the mix really well until the eggs are blended.
04 -
Now add the flour and baking powder into the same bowl. Stir everything together until you don’t see any dry spots of flour left.
05 -
Gently mix in the shredded cheddar and the chopped green chilis. Stir just enough to spread them evenly through the batter.
06 -
Scoop out the batter into 12 big portions, using either a cookie scoop or a large spoon, and lay them on a baking sheet. Bake them for about 10 minutes, until the centers are set.
# Notes:
01 -
Keep leftovers in the fridge for up to four days.
02 -
The green chilis are optional, so leave them out if you’d prefer.
03 -
Make sure not to overbake or the bites will turn out dry.
