How to Make Sausage, Cheddar, and Chive Muffins
  1. In a mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour, salt, black pepper, baking powder, and baking soda.
  2. Cut in chilled butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add buttermilk and half and half, mixing until just combined.
  3. Gently fold in the breakfast sausage, shredded cheddar cheese, and chopped chives.
  4. Divide the batter into muffin cups, filling them about two-thirds full.
  5. Boil eggs for precisely 3 minutes to achieve the perfect runny yolk, then cool in an ice bath.
  6. Carefully peel and place one egg in the center of each muffin batter cup.
  7. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and bake the muffins for 20-25 minutes.
  8. Allow the muffins to cool slightly before serving.
