Shortening
Egg - 1

8. Remove from oven and sprinkle with the remaining cheese. Let stand for 5 minutes.

Liam's notes

• We couldn't find corn muffin mix, so we used biscuit mix instead.
• I used two different types of sausages, which added different flavours.
• I served it with a homemade fruit salad.
