Introduction
This savory breakfast pot pie is a comforting and flavorful way to start your day. Topped with a sweet honey butter biscuit crust, it combines hearty eggs, sausage gravy, vegetables, and cheddar for a delicious morning treat.

Ingredients
- 2 cups Mild Cheddar
- 1 cup Bell Peppers, chopped
- ½ cup Onion, chopped
- 1 tsp Salt
- 1 tsp Pepper
- 8 oz Breakfast Sausage
- 2½ cups Heavy Cream
- 2 tbsp Flour
- 6-7 large Eggs, beaten
- 2 tbsp Unsalted Butter
- 1 box Red Lobster Honey Butter Biscuit Mix
- ¾ cup Milk
- ½ stick Unsalted Butter, softened
- 1 tbsp Honey
- Oil for Cooking (olive oil or butter recommended)
- 1 tbsp Olive Oil
Instructions
- Step 1: Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add chopped bell peppers and onions and sauté until browned and tender, about 3-4 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
- Step 2: In the same skillet, cook breakfast sausage until crispy, about 5-6 minutes. Stir in flour, then slowly pour in heavy cream. Season with salt and pepper and cook until mixture thickens, about 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat.
- Step 3: In a large bowl, combine biscuit mix with milk until a shaggy dough forms. Avoid overmixing to keep biscuits tender.
- Step 4: In a small bowl, mix softened butter with honey and a pinch of salt. Set aside to drizzle on biscuits later.
- Step 5: In a pan over medium-low heat, add olive oil and butter. Pour in beaten eggs and cook gently until nearly set, seasoning with salt and pepper to taste.
- Step 6: Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Assemble ramekins by layering scrambled eggs, sautéed vegetables, cheddar cheese, and sausage gravy. Top each with a portion of biscuit dough.
- Step 7: Place ramekins on a baking sheet and bake for 18-20 minutes or until biscuit tops are golden and cooked through. Immediately brush each biscuit top with the honey butter mixture after removing from oven.
Tips & Variations
- Substitute Monterey Jack for cheddar for a milder cheese flavor.
- Swap bell peppers with zucchini or fresh spinach to vary vegetable mix.
- Use turkey or vegetarian sausage as a leaner or meat-free option.
- For a lighter gravy, replace heavy cream with half-and-half.
- Try maple syrup instead of honey in the butter topping for a different sweetness profile.
- Use gluten-free biscuit mix if dietary restrictions require it.
- Do not overmix biscuit dough to maintain tender, flaky biscuits.
Storage
Store any leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven at 350°F (175°C) until warmed through to keep the biscuit topping flaky and avoid sogginess. Avoid microwaving for best texture.
