Ingredients
  

1 cup cornmeal

1 cup all-purpose flour

2 teaspoons baking powder

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/4 teaspoon salt

1 cup buttermilk

1/4 cup granulated sugar

2 large eggs

1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted

1 cup cooked and crumbled sausage or crispy bacon

1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese

4 large eggs (for the sandwich filling)

1 tablespoon olive oil

Fresh chives or green onions, finely chopped (for garnish, optional)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven:

    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Prepare a mini muffin tin by greasing it with cooking spray or lining it with mini muffin liners for easy removal.

      Prepare the Cornbread Batter:

        In a large mixing bowl, use a whisk to combine the cornmeal, all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. In a separate bowl, blend together the buttermilk, granulated sugar, eggs, and melted butter until well mixed. Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry mixture and stir gently until just combined—be careful not to overmix!

          Add Fillings:

            Carefully fold in the crumbled sausage or bacon and the shredded cheddar cheese using a spatula, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.

              Bake the Cornbread:

                Spoon the cornbread batter into the prepared mini muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until they turn a golden brown color and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Once done, let them cool in the tin for a few minutes before gently removing them.

                  Cook the Eggs:

                    While the cornbread muffins are cooling, heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Crack the 4 large eggs into the skillet and cook them sunny-side up or scrambled, based on your preference. Season with salt and pepper to enhance the flavor.

                      Assemble the Sandwiches:

                        Once the muffins have cooled slightly, slice each mini cornbread muffin in half horizontally. Place a cooked egg on the bottom half of each muffin and top it with the other half. For added flavor, garnish with finely chopped fresh chives or green onions, if desired.

                          Serve:

                            Serve these delightful Mini Cornbread Breakfast Sandwiches warm, and enjoy a delicious start to your day!
