Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease a 12-cup muffin pan with non-stick cooking spray.
In a skillet on medium-high heat, crumble and cook sausage until no longer pink. Drain off excess fat, and slightly cool.
In a large bowl, lightly beat the eggs. Mix in the shredded cheese, Bisquick and cooled sausage.
Fill the muffin pan evenly with the mixture. Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until golden brown on top.

Notes

If you don't want to use Bisquick, you can make a homemade version:
- Simply combine 1 cup all-purpose flour, 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder, ¼ teaspoon salt, and 1 tablespoon grated cold butter.
You can use various types of sausage, such as pork, turkey, or even a vegetarian sausage substitute, depending on your dietary preferences. The fat content will impact the moisture content of the muffin.
You can experiment with different types of cheese to suit your taste. Sharp cheddar is my favorite, but you can try mozzarella, pepper jack, or other cheeses.
You can add sautéed diced bell peppers, onions, or even spinach to the muffin batter for added flavor and nutrition
