Our newest morning obsession is protein-packed Breakfast Biscuits!
Our newest morning obsession is protein-packed Breakfast Biscuits!Really though, these breakfast biscuits are the best thing to happen to busy mornings. They're delicious and easy drop biscuit packed with eggs, sausage, veggies, and cheese. They're quick and easy to make and I love to make a big batch on the weekend to freeze and reheat as needed throughout the week. Every member of our family loves them, and I can't wait for you to try them!
The original idea for breakfast biscuits similar to these is from Jenn Eats Good, and she has gluten free varieties and several fun breakfast biscuit flavors.

How to make Breakfast Biscuits:
Sauté Veggies and Cook Meat: Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat then add onion and bell pepper. Sauté for 5 minutes then push to the side. Add the ground pork, breaking it up into small pieces with a meat chopper until browned and cooked through.
Make Dough: Add flour, salt, pepper, sage, thyme, and baking powder to a large mixing bowl and stir to combine. In another mixing bowl, whisk eggs, then stir in 1 cup cheese. And cooked meat mixture and stir. Make a well in flour mixture then add eggs mixture, stirring until combined. The mixture will be wet and sloppy.
Bake: Scoop 12 portions (around ⅓ cup each) evenly onto a parchment lined baking sheet. Bake cheese and sausage biscuits at 400°F (200°C), until just cooked through. Let cool then enjoy warm. Keep any leftover breakfast biscuits in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
Make Ahead and Freezing Instructions:
To Make Ahead: The veggies can be chopped and the meat can be cooked ahead of time. Keep them in separate airtight containers in the refrigerator until ready to mix dough for this breakfast biscuit recipe.
To Freeze: Let cool completely then transfer to a freezer safe bag or container. Keep in the freezer for up to 3 months. Rewarm in the microwave for a few seconds. I love to batch cook a whole bunch and grab them for an easy and quick breakfast!

made this last night for easy warm up on weekday mornings before school for my kids and they LOVED them!
Easy to make and so tasty. Hot honey (TBFS recipe) pairs very nicely with these biscuits.
