Savory Breakfast Pot Pie with Honey Butter Biscuit Topping Recipe

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.

A glass baking dish filled with a creamy casserole that has two main layers: the bottom creamy layer with visible green peas, orange carrot cubes, and white chunks, all mixed in a thick, light-colored sauce, and the top layer with seven golden-brown, fluffy biscuits that are slightly cracked showing soft texture inside, sprinkled lightly with green herbs. A silver spoon rests inside the dish, scooping some of the creamy base, and the dish sits on a white marbled surface with a folded blue cloth underneath one corner.

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

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. Step 3: In a large bowl, combine biscuit mix with milk until a shaggy dough forms. Avoid overmixing to keep biscuits tender.
  4. Step 4: In a small bowl, mix softened butter with honey and a pinch of salt. Set aside to drizzle on biscuits later.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
  7. 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.

How to Serve

The dish shows a glass square baking dish filled with a creamy mixture of diced chicken, green peas, sweet corn, and small chopped carrots at the bottom layer, all in a light yellow sauce. On top of the creamy base, there are eight large golden-brown biscuit layers, each thick and fluffy with a slightly crispy, uneven texture on top. Some biscuits are decorated with small sprigs of green rosemary. A silver spoon is scooping out a section from one corner, showing the thick vegetables and chicken filling beneath the biscuits. The glass dish rests on a blue cloth over a white marbled surface. Photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

FAQs

Can I prepare this recipe ahead of time?

Yes, you can prepare the filling and biscuit dough separately and assemble just before baking. Keep them refrigerated and bake within a day for the best results.

What can I use if I don’t have Red Lobster Honey Butter Biscuit Mix?

You can substitute any store-bought biscuit mix or try making your favorite biscuit dough from scratch. The key is the sweet honey butter drizzle after baking to mimic the signature flavor.
