Ingredients
breakfast sausage
1 lb (ground)
onion
1/3 cup (finely chopped)
eggs
6 (scrambled with milk)
cheddar cheese
1/2 cup (shredded)
flaky biscuits
1 can (10 count)
Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2
In a medium non-stick skillet over medium heat, cook the ground breakfast sausage and finely chopped onion until the sausage is browned and cooked through, about 5 minutes. Drain any excess grease.
3
In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs and a splash of milk, then scramble them in the skillet, ensuring they are fluffy and fully cooked.
4
Once the eggs are cooked, add the shredded cheddar cheese and the sausage-onion mixture to the eggs. Stir well to combine.
5
Open the can of flaky biscuits and carefully separate each biscuit into two layers. Flatten each half and press them into lightly greased non-stick muffin tins, creating a cup shape.
6
Evenly distribute the sausage and egg mixture into each biscuit-lined muffin cup.
7
Bake in the preheated oven for about 10 minutes or until the biscuits are golden brown.
8
Allow the biscuit cups to cool to room temperature before freezing them. Arrange the cups on a baking sheet and freeze until solid, then transfer them to zip-top freezer bags for long-term storage.
9
To reheat, either defrost overnight in the fridge and bake at 350°F for 10-15 minutes until heated through, or place frozen cups directly onto a non-stick baking sheet and bake at 350°F for 15-20 minutes. Alternatively, you can microwave a frozen cup for approximately 1 minute for a quick breakfast.
