Ingredients

→ Main Ingredients

01 1 pack (7 oz) of chopped green chilis
02 2 teaspoons of powder for baking
03 1 and 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
04 2 tablespoons melted salted butter
05 1 1/2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
06 6 big eggs
07 1 pound breakfast sausage, ground

Steps

Step 01

Set your oven to 400°F to preheat.

Step 02

Warm a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Toss in the sausage and cook for about 5 minutes, crumbling it as it cooks until all the pink is gone. Turn off the heat and let it cool down for 10 minutes.

Step 03

In a big bowl, mix together the sausage, the eggs, and the butter. Whip it up well to beat the eggs thoroughly.

Step 04

Sprinkle in the flour and the baking powder. Mix it until everything combines and there are no flour lumps left.

Step 05

Carefully add in the shredded cheddar and chopped green chilis. Stir gently until these are evenly mixed into the batter.

Step 06

Scoop out 12 big dollops of the mix with a cookie scoop or spoon and lay them on a baking sheet. Bake them for around 10 minutes until the centers are just firm.

Notes

  1. Keep leftovers in the fridge for up to 4 days
  2. Skip the green chilis if you prefer
  3. Overbaking can make them too dry—watch the time!
