How To Make sausage, egg & cheese biscuit sandwiches
-
1For the eggs: In a large bowl, crack the eggs, and whisk with the baking powder, salt, pepper, and milk. Spray a rimmed baking sheet with cooking spray and pour the egg mixture in. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees and let the eggs sit while the oven heats. Once the oven is hot, place the pan in the center of the oven and bake for 10 minutes. The eggs should be puffed and set fully. Let them cool for about ten minutes, then proceed with cutting the eggs. Cut the pan of eggs lengthwise down the center, then cut each half lengthwise into two more pieces, to end up with 4 long strips of egg. Cut the strips into thirds short-wise, to end up with a dozen rectangular pieces of egg.

2For the sausage patties: Unwrap the sausage and place into a bowl. Divide the whole amount of sausage into 12 pieces, as equal as possible (75 – 76 grams apiece, if you’re using your scale!), and form them into balls. Place them on a clean sheet pan. In a large skillet, heat a small drizzle of vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, flatten 3 balls of sausage into roughly 3-inch patties. They will be thin, and that’s okay! Cook three patties at a time in the hot skillet, 1 minute per side. Place them on a clean plate and continue cooking three patties at a time until all the sausage is cooked.

3To assemble the sandwiches: Slice the biscuits in half lengthwise. Grab one sliced biscuit and top the bottom half with a cooked sausage patty. Fold one rectangle of egg in half, and top the sausage with the egg. Finally, place one slice of American cheese on top of the egg. Place the top half of the biscuit on the cheese, and boom, you’re done! Repeat the building process with all the biscuits, sausage, egg, and cheese slices.

4Notes: To wrap the sandwiches for long-term storage, tear off 1 foot sections of plastic wrap and tightly wrap each sandwich individually. Freeze the sandwiches for up to 3 weeks. To heat the sandwiches: For best results, retrieve a wrapped and frozen sandwich from the freezer the night before, and place it in the refrigerator overnight. It will thaw a good amount, allowing minimal heating in order to be tasty! I found that the thawed sandwiches heat beautifully in the microwave, wrapped in damp paper towel, for 45 seconds per side — just place the wrapped sandwich on a plate and heat on one side, then flip the sandwich over and heat on the other side. Unwrap the plastic and open the sandwich to make sure the egg has fully heated. If the egg isn’t fully hot, microwave the unwrapped sandwich on the plate for another 15 – 20 seconds.
