Instructions
1. Preheat the Oven:
Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). This step ensures your biscuits bake up perfectly golden and warm.
2. Bake the Biscuits:
- Place the biscuits on a baking sheet, ensuring they have enough space to expand.
- Follow the baking instructions on the biscuit can, which typically takes around 10-12 minutes.
- Once baked, keep them warm by covering them with a clean kitchen towel or aluminum foil.
3. Cook the Eggs:
- Spray a medium skillet with nonstick cooking spray and heat it over medium heat.
- Crack the eggs into the skillet, then reduce the heat to low. You can also use egg substitutes if preferred.
- Stir occasionally to prevent the eggs from sticking and allow them to cook slowly.
- As the eggs start to set, gently fold the edges towards the center, letting any uncooked egg flow to the bottom of the skillet. This technique ensures a fluffy, even cook.
4. Add Cheese and Season:
- Once the eggs are mostly set but still a bit moist, top them with the part-skim mozzarella cheese slices.
- Sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste.
- Continue cooking until the cheese melts and the eggs are fully set, then remove from heat.
5. Assemble the Sandwiches:
- Carefully split the warm biscuits in half.
- Place one sausage patty on the bottom half of each biscuit.
- Divide the cheesy scrambled eggs into 8 portions and place one portion on top of each sausage patty.
- Top each sandwich with the remaining biscuit half.
6. Serve and Enjoy:
- Serve your hearty breakfast sandwiches immediately for the best texture and flavor. These sandwiches are a perfect combination of fluffy, savory, and cheesy goodness.
Recipe Tips
- Customize the Filling: Swap out sausage patties for bacon or ham if you prefer a different protein. You can also add vegetables like sautéed spinach or grilled tomatoes for extra nutrients and flavor.
- Make It Spicy: For a kick of heat, add a dash of hot sauce or a sprinkle of crushed red pepper flakes to the egg mixture before cooking.
- Make-Ahead Option: These sandwiches can be made ahead of time and frozen for up to 1 month. Simply wrap each sandwich tightly in foil, freeze, and reheat in the oven at 350°F for about 15 minutes when ready to enjoy.
