Microwave cooking instructions

Please note that these instructions are developed for an 1100-watt oven. Ovens vary, so heat times may need to be adjusted. Always follow the heating instructions and keep the product frozen until you are ready to cook it.

To cook your frozen sausage, egg, and cheese biscuit in the microwave, first remove the wrapper and wrap the sandwich in a paper towel. Then, place it in the microwave and cook on HIGH for 80-90 seconds, or until hot. Let the sandwich stand for 1 minute before serving. This will ensure that it is hot throughout and will also allow the sandwich to cool down slightly, as it will be very hot straight out of the microwave.

If you find that your sandwich requires a little more heating after this, you can microwave it for an additional 5-10 seconds until it reaches your desired temperature.

Oven cooking instructions

Always follow the heating instructions provided with your frozen sausage, egg, and cheese biscuit. These instructions are developed using an 1100-watt oven, so if your oven is different, you may need to adjust the heating time.

First, keep the sandwich frozen until you are ready to cook it. Start by thawing the sandwich completely. Then, separate the sandwich, dividing it into the egg and sausage parts. Wrap each part of the sandwich in foil. Place the wrapped sandwich on a baking sheet and bake at 350°F for 20-25 minutes, or until hot.

Ovens vary, so you may need to adjust the heating time. If you need to heat the sandwich for a little longer, put it back in the oven in 5-10-second intervals until it is hot. Always be cautious when removing the sandwich from the oven, as it will be hot.

Biscuit preparation

The first step in preparing your sausage, egg, and cheese biscuit is to preheat your oven to the temperature specified on the biscuit packaging. While the oven is heating up, you can prepare the other ingredients.

For the biscuits, open the packaging and separate the individual biscuits. Cut each biscuit into smaller pieces—this will vary depending on the specific recipe you are following, but typically each biscuit is cut into six to eight pieces. Layer these cut biscuits in a greased casserole dish, spreading them evenly across the bottom of the dish.

Next, prepare the sausage. If using pre-formed sausage patties, you may need to flatten them out a bit by hand to better fit the width of the biscuits. Fry the sausage patties in a pan or griddle until they reach a safe internal temperature. Alternatively, you can use frozen sausage patties and heat them in the microwave or skillet before cutting them into bite-sized pieces.

Sprinkle the cooked sausage pieces over the layer of biscuits in the casserole dish. For a simple breakfast sandwich, you can stop here and simply add your eggs and cheese on top of the sausage and biscuits. However, for a more casserole-style dish, you can add additional ingredients.

To continue with the casserole-style dish, sprinkle shredded cheese over the sausage layer. You can use a variety of cheeses, such as cheddar, Colby Jack, or pepper jack, depending on your preference.

In a separate bowl, whisk together eggs and milk, seasoning with a pinch of salt and pepper. Pour this egg mixture over the cheese layer in the casserole dish. If desired, you can also add some vegetables, such as bell peppers, onions, spinach, or mushrooms, at this stage. Simply sauté the vegetables before sprinkling them over the sausage.

Finally, cover the dish and bake it in the oven for around 30 to 55 minutes, or until the eggs are set. For an extra touch, you can add a gravy layer by mixing a packet of country sausage gravy with water and pouring it over the egg layer before baking.

Sausage preparation

To prepare the sausage for your frozen sausage, egg, and cheese biscuit, you have a few options, depending on whether you are cooking the biscuit in the oven or the microwave.

If you are baking your frozen sandwich in the oven, you will first need to thaw the sandwich completely. Then, separate the sandwich into its egg and sausage components. Wrap each part of the sandwich in foil. Place the wrapped sandwich on a baking sheet and bake at 350°F for 20-25 minutes or until hot.

If you are using a microwave, remove the wrapper and wrap the sandwich in a paper towel. Microwave on high for 80-90 seconds or until hot. If you need more time, microwave for an additional 5-10 seconds. Let the sandwich stand for 1 minute before enjoying.

For a sausage breakfast casserole, you will need to cook the sausage before assembling the casserole. To do this, cook the sausage in a skillet over medium heat. Break up and flip the sausage until it is no longer pink.

Egg preparation

To prepare the eggs for a sausage, egg, and cheese biscuit, you have a few options. You can use a pre-cooked egg patty, a frozen egg patty, or fresh eggs.

If you are using a pre-cooked egg patty, simply follow the heating instructions provided by the manufacturer. This usually involves wrapping the sandwich in foil and baking it in the oven for 20-25 minutes at 350°F. You can also microwave the sandwich for 80-90 seconds and then let it stand for a minute before enjoying.

If you are using frozen egg patties, follow the same heating instructions as for the pre-cooked egg patty. Make sure to thaw the egg patty completely before heating.

If you are using fresh eggs, you will need to cook them before assembling your sandwich. Here are the steps to prepare the eggs:

• Beat the eggs: Start by cracking 8 large eggs into a medium-sized bowl. Use a whisk or a fork to beat the eggs until the yolks and whites are fully combined.
• Add milk and seasonings: To make the eggs extra creamy, add a cup of milk to the beaten eggs. You can use whole milk, 2% milk, or a milk alternative. Also, add a pinch of salt and pepper to taste.
• Whisk until blended: Continue whisking the egg mixture until all the ingredients are well combined and you no longer see any streaks of milk or egg whites.
• Cook the eggs: Pour the beaten egg mixture into a greased skillet or pan. Cook the eggs over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until they are scrambled and cooked to your desired level of doneness.
• Assemble the sandwich: Once the eggs are cooked, you can assemble your sandwich by layering the eggs, sausage, and cheese on a biscuit.

If you want to make a breakfast casserole, you can also prepare the eggs by whisking them with milk and seasonings, and then pouring the mixture over the sausage and cheese in a baking dish. This creates a hearty, flavorful dish that can feed a crowd.
