From the outside it looks like any ordinary savory muffin freckled with chives, breakfast sausage bits and a golden brown exterior. But the unforgettable experience is slicing this freshly baked muffin in half and seeing a jammy egg yolk appear right in the center. It reminded me that I had a very similar muffin in San Francisco at the famous bakery Craftsman and Wolves a few years ago. If you don’t live near New York or SF…this is my copycat recipe of those muffins that you can make in the comfort of your own home. I knew once I had it, I had to re-create it! The thought of making breakfast muffins with an egg in the middle of it seems a little intimidating, right? “How do you get it in there?” “How do you make sure the egg doesn’t overcook?” “It looks complicated, should I even try?” The answer is YES. YOU NEED TO TRY THIS! I have a video down below for you to watch for the step by step process.

Flour: I use all-purpose flour but you can use a gluten free flour if needed. Breakfast sausage: I use the pork sausage breakfast rolls (the New York Company brand) and cook on the stove until no longer pink. Chop into tiny pieces so there aren’t overly large chunks inside the muffin. I only use 8 oz and save the other half of the sausage for another time. Soft boiled eggs: A 6 minute soft boiled egg with at least 30 minutes of fridge time in an ice water bath will give you a sausage egg muffin with a jammy/runny egg yolk in the middle. The shell on a soft boiled egg can be sometimes challenging to peel so the fridge time in an ice water bath is crucial. Take your time peeling, and cook a 7th egg just in case one egg goes rouge and breaks! Chives: I love the flavor of adding fresh chives, but you can of course use any herbs you’d like: rosemary, thyme, sage, etc. Cheese: I love these muffins with cheddar cheese but you can experiment with different cheeses like Colby jack, mozzarella or even cottage cheese. Other ingredients needed: melted butter, baking powder, sugar, salt, milk
