Substitutions and Alterations
- Canned biscuits - there really isn't a substitute for this. I have not tried it with homemade biscuits.
- Breakfast sausage - you can replace the breakfast sausage with any of your favorite breakfast meats like ham or ground turkey sausage.
- Eggs - I don't recommend replacing the eggs for egg whites or egg substitute. It does not result in the same texture or consistency.
- Cheese - You can omit the cheese entirely if you'd prefer not to have it.

It’s an amazing recipe, wonderfully simple and delicious. However I did find that I needed to cook it a little longer than 20 minutes for the eggs to be done, perhaps because I added onions and peppers to the mix or the temperature of the biscuits. I’d use room-temp biscuits and room- temp eggs.

Thanks so much for your kind comment! The onions and peppers will add moisture, so very likely the reason it needed additional time. I'm so glad you liked it! The addition of onions and peppers sounds delicious.

Thanks for the reply, I didn’t think about the added moisture so thanks for the tip. I used poblano peppers and a yellow onion and the mixture was wonderful. I also used vegan sausage (Beyond brand) and it was perfect. I want to try one with broccoli and cheddar, and another with spinach/tomato.
