Recipe Substitutions and Variations
- Cheese - for this recipe I used sliced American cheese but you can substitute your favorite flavor.
- Try with cooked bacon, cooked sausage links, or sliced ham.
- Use your favorite cheese! White Cheddar Cheese would be delicious!
- Breakfast Sausage - make sure you use pre-cooked sausage patties.
Step-by-Step Instructions
This section provides step-by-step photos and instructions to guide you through the recipe. For the complete printable version, scroll down to the recipe card below.
Step 1: Prepare a 6-count jumbo muffin pan with non-stick baking spray. Whisk the eggs and milk together in a bowl. Divide the eggs between the muffin pan.
Recipe Note
For this recipe, you'll need to use a 6-count muffin pan. The ingredients will not fit in a 12-count traditional muffin pan.
If you only have one jumbo muffin pan to bake with at a time, you'll need to reserve some eggs to bake once the first batch is done to make all 8 breakfast sandwiches. (As you can see from the photos, I only have one muffin pan!)
Step 2: Bake the eggs in a preheated oven until set. Remove the baked eggs from the pan and set aside.
Step 3: Separate the canned biscuits in half so there's 16 pieces.
Step 4: Spray the muffin pan with non-stick baking spray. Place a biscuit half in each muffin pan well. Top each biscuit half with a baked egg, sausage patty, and slice of cheese.
Step 5: Place the remaining biscuit halves on top.
Step 6: Bake the breakfast sandwiches for 10 minutes or until the biscuits are golden brown. Remove the biscuit sandwiches and repeat the steps with the remaining ingredients.

Recipe Tips for Making Breakfast with Canned Biscuits
Flatten the Biscuits: Use your hands or the bottom of a glass to gently flatten each biscuit before pressing it into the muffin tin. This helps create more room for the filling and keeps everything contained.
Cook the Sausage First: Make sure the sausage is fully cooked and crumbled before adding it to the biscuits. This ensures it's safe to eat and doesn’t release extra grease during baking.
Grease the Muffin Tin Well: Even if you're using non-stick spray, be generous—especially around the edges—so the biscuit cups release easily.
Let Them Rest: After baking, let the biscuit cups cool for a few minutes before removing from the pan. This helps them firm up and hold their shape better.
Storage, Freezing and Reheating Tips
Refrigerator: Wrap leftover sandwiches in plastic wrap or place in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 4 days.
Freezer: Wrap each sandwich individually in plastic wrap before placing in a freezer bag or airtight container for up to 3 months.
Thawing and Reheating Tips: To reheat, replace the plastic wrap with a paper towel and microwave for about 30 seconds to warm through. If the biscuit sandwich was frozen, increase time to 2 minutes.

Spray the muffin pan generously with non-stick baking spray to help prevent sticking. You can also grease the pan using a solid fat like coconut oil or bacon grease for added flavor and easy release. For even better results, consider using silicone liners or a silicone muffin pan—both make cleanup a breeze and help the eggs pop out effortlessly.
Store uncooked refrigerated biscuits in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days, or freeze them individually on a baking sheet, then transfer to a freezer bag for up to 3 months. Bake from frozen with a few extra minutes or thaw in the fridge overnight before baking.
