Stuffed Breakfast Biscuits

Croft Girl's Note:

Breakfast, lunch or dinner on the go! These are great for brunch or anytime you need a quick bite during a busy day. If you like a little punch use spicy sausage or add a sprinkle of crushed red peppers when you're putting everything together.

• Total Time: 30 mins
• Prep Time: 20 mins
• Cook Time: 10 mins

Ingredients:

Yield: 8 biscuits

• 1 (7 ounce) package frozen pork sausage links (I recommend Banquet Brown & Serve)
• 1 (16 ounce) package refrigerated biscuits (I recommend Pillsbury Grands)
• 1⁄3; cup cheddar cheese , grated
• 2 tablespoons green onions , thinly sliced
• 2 eggs , well beaten
• 1 -2 tablespoon butter , melted

Directions:

1. Prepare sausages according to package directions. Drain and cut into quarters.
2. Partially cook beaten eggs until they are almost all cooked but are still runny. I do this in the microwave, 25 seconds at a time, breaking into small pieces that will be easy to spoon into biscuits.
3. On a lightly floured surface, roll out each round of biscuit dough into a 5" circle and drape over a lightly greased muffin cup. If using non-stick muffin tins, don't pre-grease the pan.
4. Equally distribute the ingredients into the biscuits in this order: sausage, cheese, green onions, egg.
5. Pinch dough edges together to seal and brush with melted butter.
6. Bake in a 400 degree F oven for 10-12 minutes until biscuits are brown.

Great idea! I made these yesterday and they went over well. I added an extra egg and didn't melt the butter. I just put a little country crock butter over the top of each before baking. I also used Hormel pre-cooked bacon pieces which made it quick and easy.

I didn't have any green onions, so I omitted those, and used Bob Evans hot sausage roll that I precooked before putting these together. I, mistaking, undercooked these by setting the oven to 350 instead of 400, but upped the temp and finished them for a few minutes to cook through. They were delicious and plan on making more and freezing those for the future quick breakfast.

These are just what I have been looking for in terms of a quick and healthy homemade breakfast on the go. Thanks for sharing! I used cubed ham instead of sausage, but next time I will try turkey sausage. I also used reduced fat cheddar and reduced fat biscuits. I did increase the eggs to 4 instead of 2 because I wanted them to have a bit more protein. These are a keeper and I will be making these every Sunday and freezing them for weekday mornings on the way to work!

EDITED TO ADD: I make these EVERY weekend for the following weekday breakfasts. So far DH and I choose bacon as our favorite meat to put inside. This is a MUST HAVE in your recipe collection.
