Breakfast Biscuits
Homemade Breakfast Biscuits is the perfect way to start your day with something filling and high-protein. I love to make a big batch to freeze for a grab and go breakfast.

Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 Tablespoon olive oil (15 ml)
- ½ cup yellow onion , diced, about 1/2 of small onion (71g)
- 1 cup red bell pepper , diced, about 1/2 of bell pepper (71g)
- 16 oz ground chicken sausage , or pork sausage
- 6 large eggs , beaten
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (113g)
- 2 cups all-purpose flour (250g)
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon dried sage
- ¼ teaspoon dried thyme
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a 18x13inch baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Sauté veggies: Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat, then add onion and bell pepper and sauté for 5 minutes.
- Cook sausage: Push to the side and add ground pork. Break into very small pieces as it cooks (I use this meat chopper), until browned and cooked through.
- Biscuit dough: Add flour, salt, pepper, sage, thyme, and baking powder to a large mixing bowl and stir to combine. Add eggs to another mixing bowl and whisk well. Stir in 1 cup cheese. Add the pork mixture and stir to incorporate. Make a well in flour mixture and add eggs mixture, stirring until combined. Mixture will be wet and sloppy.
- Bake: Scoop 12 portions (around 1/3 cup each) onto baking sheet. Bake for 10-14 minutes, until just cooked through.
- Store leftover protein biscuits in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days, or freeze (see notes).

Notes
Yield: 12 Biscuits. Serving Size: 1 Biscuit.
Make Ahead Instructions: 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.
Freezing Instructions: Let cool completely then transfer to a freezer safe bag or container. Keep in the freezer for up to 3 months. Let thaw at room temperature before eating, or 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!
