Breakfast Muffins

Breakfast Muffins

If you house is anything like mine, the morning time rush can get pretty crazy.  More often than I care to admit but we eat breakfast on the go and in the car.  I came across this great recipe on Pillsbury.com for a Breakfast Quiche to Go that seemed like a great option for those moments.  Our recipe ended up being completely different than the one on their site, but they were a great inspiration and we were really happy how it turned out!  This easy to follow recipe is easy for any little chef to do.

#1_Ingredients

 

_MG_6426

Try opening your biscuits with a wooden spoon.

 #3_It may be hard

It may be hard at first… This is where you may need to step in and help

 #4_Open Biscuits

I’ve always loved to hear the “pop” of an open biscuit can…

 #5_Layout Biscuits & Separate in Half

Lay out the uncooked biscuits on a flat area.  Each biscuit will have a split in the middle.  Find the split and pull each biscuit apart. 

#7_You will only need 12 for muffin pan

  

One package of biscuits should make about 16 half biscuits. You should only need about 12 half biscuits for the muffin pan.  Use the extra for practice in case you mess a couple up.

#8_Spread out each half biscuit

Use your fingers and gently spread and flatten each half biscuits but be careful…

 #9_Be careful because they can look like this

… not to spread to wide or it may look like this (this is when you can use the extra biscuits)

 #10_Place in muffin pan

Place each flattened half biscuit in the muffin pan so that it covers each hole an may spill out on the sides.  Once you have filled all the holes, place to the side.

 #11_Crack Eggs in Bowl

In a mixing bowl, crack your eggs.   You may need to help if your little chef hasn’t quite mastered the art of the egg.

 #12_Add Salt & Pepper

Then add Salt and Pepper to taste. 

Put a little salt and pepper in your little chef’s hand and let them sprinkle it in the dish.

 #13_And Milk

Pour in the milk

#14_Then Beat Eggs

Then beat your eggs.  If you don’t have an egg beater, then a fork may help. I teach my little chef that “beating” eggs is more like chopping.  It made more sense to him.

#15_Add Cheese to Egg Mixture

Then add cheese to you mixture.  For us, it was easier to mix in after the eggs were beaten. 

#16_Add Sausage to Bottom

Add you sausage crumbles to the bottom of the half biscuits in the muffin pan.  We liked “pre-crumbled, pre-cooked” turkey sausage as a short cut, but feel free to cook your favorite breakfast sausage and cut it up yourself.

#17_Then Add Egg Mixture

Next, pour in your egg mixture 

#18_Put in Oven at 400 degrees

Place in the oven at 400 degrees and cook for 15-20 mins or until biscuits are golden brown.
