Serving Suggestions for These Breakfast Gems

These delightful biscuits shine on their own, but you can add a dollop of Greek yogurt or a drizzle of hot sauce for some extra flair. They also pair wonderfully with a side of fresh fruit or a smooth smoothie, creating a wholesome breakfast spread that the whole family will enjoy.

Storing Your Protein-Packed Delights

If you somehow have leftovers (though I doubt it!), let the biscuits cool fully, then store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to four days. They also freeze beautifully , just wrap them well and pop them in the freezer. When you’re ready, reheat them in the oven or microwave to bring back the warmth!

Tips for Perfect Breakfast Biscuits Every Time

  • If you’re short on time, you can prepare the dough the night before and store it in the refrigerator. Bake fresh biscuits in the morning for a freshly baked breakfast!
  • Play with the add-ins! Bell peppers, zucchini, or different cheeses can add a fun twist.
  • Don’t skip the cheese on top! It gives a nice melted finish and adds flavor.

Possible Variations for Your Biscuits

  • For a vegetarian version, feel free to skip the ham and sausage entirely. You can load up on additional veggies like mushrooms or bell peppers for a hearty alternative.
  • If you’re looking for a gluten-free option, substitute all-purpose flour with a gluten-free blend , just check that your baking powder is gluten-free as well!

    Yes! Low-fat Greek yogurt still provides great moisture and protein, so feel free to use what you have.

  2. How do I ensure the biscuits stay soft?
