Can I make these ahead and freeze them?
Yes. Cool completely, store in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 3 months. Reheat in a 350°F oven for 8-10 minutes or microwave for 1-2 minutes.
How do I prevent the bites from sticking to the muffin tin?
Grease the mini muffin tin generously with butter or cooking spray before filling. Let cool for 2-3 minutes before removing to prevent sticking.
Can I use a different type of sausage?
Yes. Italian sausage, turkey sausage, or plant-based sausage work well. Brown and crumble the sausage before adding to the batter.
How do I know when they're done baking?
Bites are done when a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean and the tops are golden brown, typically 12-15 minutes at 350°F.
Can I double this recipe?
Yes. Simply double all ingredients and divide between two muffin tins. Baking time remains the same.
