Biscuit Breakfast Sandwiches

This morning we made our own breakfast sandwiches (inspired by McDonald’s Sausage Biscuit with Egg, but much tastier). The recipe below makes 8 biscuit sandwiches – we halved the recipe.  One biscuit could easily be a serving, but they were so good that we ate 2 each and stayed full until dinnertime.   

Biscuit Breakfast Sandwiches

Ingredients:

• 1 8-biscuit tube Pillsbury Grands Flaky Layers biscuits (I would normally get Original or Buttermilk, but the only flavor I could find was Butter Tastin’…)
• 1-16 ounce Tennessee Pride Mild Roll Sausage
• 8 eggs
• 1 cup cheese, shredded (we used a mix of cheddar and havarti)
• Salt
• Pepper

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  

2. Beat the eggs, salt, and pepper in a bowl (you can add a splash of milk if you’d like, but it isn’t necessary).

3. Slice the sausage evenly into 8 patties.

4. Once preheated, place your biscuits in the oven, setting the timer for 10 minutes.

5. While the biscuits cook, cook your eggs on the stovetop in a greased skillet.  I fluff the eggs from the sides as they cook to give them more volume.  Once the eggs hold together, flip them and top with shredded cheese. 

6. At the same time as the eggs, cook the sausage patties in a separate skillet, about 4 minutes on each side until cooked through. 

7. Take the biscuits out of the oven, split them in half, and fill each biscuit with 1 sausage patty and a portion of the cheesy-eggs. 

8. Reassemble the biscuits and put back in the oven for 4-5 more minutes until golden.
