Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C).
In a measuring cup or bowl, crack the eggs. Add your desired seasonings and whisk aggressively until well combined.
Grease 8 cups of a standard muffin tin with butter.
Pour the egg mixture into the greased muffin cups, filling each about a quarter of the way up.
Bake the eggs at 325°F for 6-8 minutes, just until the edges are set. Remove from the oven and carefully take the egg rounds out of the tin. Set aside.
While the eggs are baking, sear the sausage patties in a hot skillet. You want to get a good char on them, but they don't need to be cooked all the way through.
Increase the oven temperature to 350°F (175°C).
Separate each refrigerated biscuit into two layers (a top and a bottom). Place the bottom half of each biscuit into the muffin cups, pressing it down slightly.
Assemble the biscuits by layering a quarter slice of cheese, a cooked sausage patty, a baked egg round, a drizzle of sriracha (if using), and another quarter slice of cheese on top of the biscuit base in each cup.
Place the top half of each biscuit over the fillings.
Bake at 350°F for 12-15 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and cooked through.
Store cooled biscuits in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days, or freeze individually wrapped for up to 3 months. Reheat in a 350°F oven for 5–8 minutes from cold, 8–10 from frozen.
standard 12-cup muffin tin
Yes. Cool completely, wrap individually in plastic wrap, and freeze for up to 3 months. Reheat in a 350°F oven for 8–10 minutes from frozen.
Cheddar, pepper jack, or Swiss cheese work well. Use the same amount and quarter the slices.
The egg whites should be set and opaque, and the yolks should jiggle slightly when the tin is gently shaken. Bake 12–15 minutes total.
Yes. Use 8 large eggs, 16 sausage patties, 2 cans of biscuits, and 8 slices of cheese. You'll need two muffin tins and may need to add 2–3 minutes to baking time.
