Viral Breakfast Protein Biscuits (Sausage, Egg, & Cheese)

As a high-protein recipe creator, I’m always paying attention to viral recipes on social media. I recently started seeing several variations of Breakfast Protein Biscuits and decided to make my own version using my favorite breakfast combination (sausage, egg, and cheese).

My biscuits came out looking a bit more like a giant, savory breakfast cookie, but I’m not mad because these biscuits are absolutely delicious and make for the perfect meal-packed breakfast. I like to pair mine with a side of egg whites, greek yogurt, and a protein shake to complete my high-protein breakfast.

P.s. If you like breakfast biscuits, you’ve got to try my Meal Prep Biscuits and Gravy Bowls!

3 Reasons Why You’ll Love This Recipe

1. The biscuits have the perfect texture. I don’t know about you, but I’m not a fan of dry, crumbly biscuits. Thankfully, these Viral Breakfast Protein Biscuits come out with the perfect texture – they’re slightly crispy on the outside and soft on the inside.
2. If you meal prep a batch of these, you’ll be thanking yourself all week. Whip up a batch of these on Sunday, store them in your refrigerator, and enjoy the ease of pulling out and warming up a delicious, hearty breakfast all week. While I don’t love meal prepping in the moment, I’m always grateful for the time I invested when I don’t have to guess what to eat all week.
3. They can be completely customized. You can use any spices, meats, cheeses, veggies, etc. that you wish! I love how easy it is to take the base biscuit dough recipe and add your own personal flavor preferences (or just whatever you have in the fridge!).

Tami’s notes

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. Reheat in the microwave or toaster oven.

For extra protein, serve with a side of scrambled egg whites

You can swap turkey sausage for lean chicken sausage or cooked turkey bacon for variety.
