Ingredients
Scale
Meats:
- 1 pound (1 lb) ground breakfast sausage
Dairy and Eggs:
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Bread:
- 1 can (8-10 large biscuits, such as Grands)
Instructions
- Prepare the oven by heating it to 375°F (190°C) for optimal baking temperature.
- Heat a large skillet over medium flame and cook the sausage until it develops a rich, golden-brown color, carefully draining most of the excess fat while retaining a small amount for flavor.
- Crack eggs directly into the same skillet with the browned sausage, scrambling them thoroughly until they reach a soft, fully cooked consistency.
- Allow the sausage and egg mixture to cool for approximately 5 minutes, which helps prevent burning and makes handling easier.
- Gently separate each biscuit in half, using your fingers to delicately flatten and expand each piece into a wider, thinner circle.
- Position the first biscuit half as a base, placing a hearty portion of the sausage and egg mixture precisely in the center.
- Sprinkle a generous layer of shredded cheddar cheese over the filling, ensuring even distribution.
- Carefully overlay the second biscuit half, using a fork to crimp and seal the edges completely, creating a secure pocket.
- Arrange the stuffed biscuits on a baking sheet, ensuring they are not touching each other.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, watching for a golden-brown exterior that indicates perfect crispness.
- Remove from the oven and serve immediately while warm and at peak deliciousness.
Notes
- Customize the sausage by using turkey or plant-based alternatives for a healthier protein option.
- Prevent soggy biscuits by ensuring the sausage and egg mixture is not too wet before filling.
- Create a vegetarian version by replacing sausage with sautéed mushrooms or spinach for added nutrients.
- Prep these stuffed biscuits ahead of time by assembling and freezing unbaked, then baking directly from frozen with an extra 5-7 minutes of cooking time.
