Egg Free Sausage Bites

Egg Free Sausage Breakfast Bites are a savory and fun addition to any breakfast or brunch! Savory breakfast sausage and cheese baked into a bite sized, egg free breakfast biscuit – what’s not to love? These eggless breakfast bites are perfect for brunch, and great for toddlers (mine lovingly calls them “Fuffins” – that’s toddler talk for “Muffins”).

To make prep quicker, you can cook and drain the sausage ahead of time and whisk your dry ingredients until you’re ready to bake. Or, for an even faster option, you can simply dice up precooked sausage links (Johnsonville is my family’s go-to allergy friendly brand). If you have a dairy / milk allergy, try using your favorite dairy free substitutes for the milk, margarine, and cheese shreds –– they would also be tasty without the cheese, since the sausage provides a bit of richness.

Feel free to modify the spices to your liking – I’ve also added garlic powder in the past. Try adding some crushed red pepper or cayenne for a bit of a bite. Cut back on the spices if you’re looking for a classic sausage flavor (or cooking for a picky toddler!), or modify to fit your preferences. Did you try something different? I’d love to hear about it!

      Hello! I wouldn’t recommend waiting to bake these, since the batter/dough will begin reacting with the baking powder right away once it’s mixed. They can easily be reheated in the oven the next day, though!

    These are delicious! I used oat milk and vegan cheese. We have a little one with a new dairy and egg allergy and I was so happy to discover your site and find egg free recipes that taste good.
    Thank you!

    My family gobbled these up! What a fabulous recipe! It is so tricky finding good warm breakfast meals without eggs, but this is a keeper for sure! I used a regular muffin pan and baked them at 375 degrees for 25 minutes and they were perfect. I’m excited to try them again with some pepperjack cheese and maybe some bacon pieces tossed in as well. Thank you for the great recipe!!

      Hi Courtney! It needs 3/4 cup of milk. Thank you so much for pointing that out! I’m not sure how it disappeared from the recipe. It should be back on there now. 🙂

        Thank you! Also wondered if I could bake them in a 12 cup regular muffin pan? Can’t wait to try! My toddler also has an egg allergy. I am grateful for your work!

    I was invited to prepare these for an event but it’s long distance and several days in transit. Can these little muffins be prepared, baked, frozen and reheated in microwave or oven?

    1. Safely Delish

      Hi Melissa! These would probably work out just fine baked and frozen ahead of time. I have done this with my Sausage Hash Brown Bites (similar to these!) many times before. I would try reheating in the oven on a sheet pan at 350F for 10 minutes or so. 🙂
