- Short on time for breakfast but would like something more than an energy bar or toaster tart?
- Love those "fast food" breakfast biscuits, but find them too costly for a family of four/can’t get the school bus to do the drive-through on the way to school/would like the family to eat together?
These make-ahead breakfast biscuits are a great breakfast option.
BISCUIT: Buy Pillsbury Grands type ready-to-bake biscuits OR make your own baking powder biscuits if you’re ambitious. OPTION: A package of biscuits or flaky buns from your grocer’s bakery department will work, too.
SAUSAGE LAYER: While the biscuits are baking…
- 1 pound of sausage per 8 Pillsbury Grands size biscuits. I use our favorite Italian sausage, but any kind of sausage you like works. OPTIONS: Instead of sausage, use ham, bacon or Canadian bacon.
- SHAPE into patties and fry until cooked. SHORTCUT: Buy sausage in bulk so you don’t have to remove the skins OR cook whole links then slice lengthways to fit biscuit. OPTIONS: CHOP UP sausage or ham, or cook and crumble bacon and ADD to whipped/scrambled eggs. ALSO can use cheese or vegetables or whatever you life.
EGGS LAYER: 4-5 eggs per 8 biscuits.
- SCRAMBLE/WHIP
- SEASON with salt & pepper
- ADD a little milk (tablespoon or so depending on how soft you like your eggs…or don’t add milk at all)
- FRY half the mixture in a 12-inch, buttered skillet (very thin. Think crepes)
HINT: Cut into quarters with spatula before flipping over.
OPTION: If you’ve mixed your meat and/or cheese, etc. into the eggs, pour the entire mix into the skillet.
Finished product should be at least 1/4 to 1/2 inch thick. HINT: Make them fancy by cutting out with a donut cutter or drinking glass with the circumference of the biscuit.
COOL
WRAP individually in paper toweling (keeps the biscuits from getting soggy)
STORE in re-closable plastic bags
MICROWAVE about 35 seconds for one biscuit IN the paper toweling
EAT, using the paper toweling as your napkin
