I’ve got your new favorite breakfast biscuit recipe here for ya today! What better than a Bacon, Egg, and Cheese Biscuit? Answer: One that’s a lil better for ya! Yaaaaas.
A few things:
- Bacon
- Biscuits
- Loaded with protein because the biscuit is literally half greek yogurt. What?? Ya heard that right!
- Skinny-ish
- Make ahead AND freezer Friendly
One of the best parts about this recipe is that it’s SUPER easy to whip up. It does take just the tiniest bit of upper body strength while mixing the dough (which I don’t have, haha!), but it takes just minutes to get it mixed up and on a pan in the oven. I feel like I should warn you that these are surely not your grandma’s buttery flaky biscuits, but they are a REALLY, REALLY spot on delicious and healthier substitute. Plus?!? they are packed with protein which helps keep ya fuller a bit longer and I can always use help in that department. #whyamialwayshungry
ya’ll need to make these soon. They make for the perfect make ahead grab and go option for crazy busy week days, but they also are the best for weekend breakfast/brunch!
How to make a Bacon, Egg, and Cheese Biscuit:
Preheat your oven to 400 degrees and throw some center cut bacon on a sheet pan (covered with foil for easy clean up and so you can reuse the pan for the biscuits in a bit here) in the oven for about 14 minutes (or until bacon is crispy).
You can make it on the stove top too, but I have found that this is the quickest way to get a lot of bacon done at once.
While the bacon is cooking grab a bowl and add 2 cups self rising flour, 1 tsp garlic powder, and 1 tsp kosher salt. Stir together.
Add in 2 cups of non fat greek yogurt and mix with a spoon REALLY, REALLY well. Do ya see those crumbly pieces at the bottom? You’re done mixin’ when they are nowhere to be found.
Keep mixing until you feel like your arm is going to fall off.
And you’re done mixing basically when you need a new arm.
Just kiddin’. It really isn’t that bad. I’m a whiner. When there are no more flour bits & pieces and the sides of the bowl are clean-ish. You’re good to go!
Now, (this part is kind of important) You’ll need a 1/3 cup measuring cup for the larger biscuit size. Spray the measuring cup with cooking spray to make it easier to “drop” the biscuits. You might need to spray it a couple of times. Scoop the dough into the measuring cup and drop onto a baking sheet that is lined with parchment paper. Make sure you drop them about’a inch apart. It’ll make 9 drop biscuits. You can kind of smoosh them just a bit with your fingers to look just like a regular ol’ biscuit.
My favorite part of these are that they’re so forgiving online cut biscuits (which are amazing in their own right, but drop biscuits are so much easier)!
Spray the tops of biscuits with some olive oil or butter cooking spray to help them get some brown on top while baking.
Now your bacon should be done, take it out and lay it on some paper towels to sop up a bit of the extra grease.
Pop your biscuits into the 400 degree oven and let’m cook for about 24 minutes, or until tops are lightly golden brown.
If you’re wondering what Pepper is usually doing while I am photographing recipes. The answer is this: making a giant mess.
This might seem like there’s a lot going on, but trust me it’s a really smooth process and the outcome is incredible so it’s well worth the few extra dishes and that’s comin’ from your girl who hates extra dishes.
Now, while you’ve got your biscuits in the oven get your eggs ready. I normally wait until the biscuits have about 5-10 minutes left to start the eggs just so they aren’t sitting for too long, but do whatever works for you. If you’re making these to throw in the freezer you can make’m right away and let’m sit and cool. Take 8 eggs and add a couple pinches of salt, a pinch of pepper, and I personally love to add a couple pinches of sweet smoked paprika. If you don’t have it, trust me, it’s not necessary, but it does add a bit of magic to your eggs if ya do!
First step to delicious eggs: BURNER ON LOW. No if’s, and’s or, buts. Turn it on low and don’t question me or yourself. Let your skillet warm up for a couple of minutes.
Next up, This is my secret ingredient to getting the “buttery” taste to eggs. I generously spray a non stick skillet with this butter cooking spray. This is another reason you need your burner on low because using cooking spray and a higher heat tends to immediately burn the cooking spray and it turns brown and smells gross. Lets not do that, okay?
Now, pour your eggs in and just let’m sit for a couple’a minutes.
The key to getting the eggs to be more “whole” than scrambled up is to not move them around in the pan very much. Just gently move the eggs in the pan with a spatula a few times while cooking.
When you see the edges of the eggs kind of form up is when you’ll gently move the eggs with a spatula.
When they get to this point, I usually flip them once. That’s probably not correct, but it’s what I do.
And there we go! These actually broke up a bit more than i’d like, but they are still perfect to me. I’m not a perfectionist in the kitchen in case you haven’t noticed. Haha! Remove them from the heat and set aside. You’ll need’m in a minute or two.
Now, these might seem like some detailed instructions for some eggs, and I know they kinda are, but I eat a lot of eggs now and I’ve realized that it really does make a difference on how they are cooked. Honestly, if you have a better way of cooking eggs, then do that! But, just keep in mind they need to stack nicely on sandwich so it’s best if they aren’t “crumbly” eggs. Does that make sense? I hope so. Let me know if it doesn’t!
Now grab those biscuits outa the oven. (Well, whenever they are done.)
Want to hear another little secret of mine? When the biscuits come fresh outa the oven. I spray the tops with this Parkay Spray butter stuff. It gives them a hint of buttery-goodness. You should be able to find this stuff in any ol’ grocery store in the same place you find the butta.
See? Just a couple sprays on each will do the trick.
Now, here’s where you’ve got a few options! If you’re preparing these for a big breakfast or brunch with a bunch’a friends and/or family and want to save yourself some extra work. Just put everything on a tray and let everyone grab and make their own sandwiches!
It’s a breakfast sandwich bar basically and it’s the best thing EVER.
I usually serve’m this way for the family first then make up the rest into sandwiches and put’m in the fridge for quick grab and go breakfasts throughout the week.
Don’t forget the cheese! I use American Cheese Slices. I don’t know/care if it’s real cheese. It’s delicious and, in my opinion, it belongs on breakfast sandwiches and cheeseburgers. I use the kind made with 2% milk and I cut each slice in half for each sandwich. I’m greedy with the cheese and half’a slice is enough, I promise.
Now, if you wanna make all the sandwiches up at once to put’m in the fridge for the week OR FREEZE’M for later. Just like with my “Make Ahead Freezer Friendly Breakfast Sandwiches” you’ll pretty much form an “assembly line”.
Start off by cuttin’ the biscuits in half (use a serrated knife) and lay’m out.
Evenly pile on eggs and then add one slice center cut bacon on top of the eggs.
And then, top that off with a half’a slice of American cheese made with 2% milk.
Close’m up!
Ugh, don’t they look so good? These might be my new favorite breakfast, ever.
You need these in your life, I promise!
One more thing, guys! I tested these out in the freezer because I knew these would be an absolute hit if y’all could make’m ahead and freeze’m like my other Breakfast sandwiches.
Wrap’m in some foil.
Throw’m in a freezer bag and toss’m in the freezer.
I only tested a few in the freezer because Eric, Pepper, and I ate all of the rest of’m, but the ones that went in the freezer came out FANTASTIC!
Either way, totally freezer friendly.
Remember if you’re freezing:
LET EGGS, BACON, AND BISCUITS COMPLETELY COOL BEFORE ASSEMBLING THE SANDWICHES, WRAPPING THEM IN FOIL, AND FREEZING!
Sorry for shouting, I just want you to remember!
FAQ
How do I eat it after it’s been in the freezer?
- Let it thaw in the fridge. (6-8 hours- I usually let sandwiches thaw overnight and heat’m up in the morning.)
- Wrap in paper towel. Microwave for 44 seconds. (Why 44 seconds you ask? Yep, Eric declared that 44 seconds works best.)
- Enjoy.
How do I reheat’m if they’ve just been in the fridge?
Skip step one. Follow 2 & 3.
Can I use Canadian bacon, sausage/turkey sausage, or ham?
Sure can! Adjust your points/calories accordingly if you care about that sort’a thing!
Mmm, mmm, mmm! I hope you love’m as much as I do because I really, really, REALLY, REALLY do!
Let me know if ya give’m a try in the comments below!

#top2021 this is an awesome recipe! Everything about it is perfection! My whole family loves them. The biscuits are my favorite- dare I say I like them better than traditional fluffy biscuits?! And they fill me up for hours!
Love how easy and easily customizable these are to make. Great to have in the freezer for a quick breakfast.
Amazing!! I omitted the garlic and added everything bagel seasoning to the top:) I’m very thankful to be able to biscuits on my weight loss journey ❤️❤️
Delicious! Eggs took a while to cook, but came out great!
Made these this morning and WOW. I will defiantly be making these again.
These biscuits are a staple at our house. Because they stay fresh tasting really well in a Ziploc bag, they easily last most of the week to use for breakfast or even as a bread option to have with dinner. We love them!
I was skeptical about this as I’m usually not a breakfast person or a fan of 2-ingredient dough. But omg. I look forward to breakfast when I make these. These are so easy and come with less guilt.
This is such a great recipe! Love having a skinnyish option for biscuits! We RV and try to keep quick and easy breakfast options prepped in the freezer for travel days. This trip I had hubs prepare these. We take them out of the freezer and put in the frig the night before. Then microwave for a minute in the morning. So good, easy and convenient!
Could you use gluten free flour?
I’m sorry Tracy, I haven’t tried gluten free flour, but if you try it let me know how it goes! OR maybe someone who sees this comment can chime in if they have experience with this recipe and gluten free flour.
Hi, could I use my mixer with the dough hook to mix these or is it better to do it by hand?
Honestly, I don’t have a mixer with a dough hook so I’ve never attempted it this way. I’m sorry.
I tried it with my mixer this weekend and it worked great! Only took about two minutes to mix and I didn’t have a sore arm afterwards. 🙂 The dish was very tasty as well.
My first attempt at a skinnyishdish and I’m hooked. Her instructions were thorough and helpful. I just did egg and cheese biscuits and they were great! 1/2 a slice of cheese is plenty and putting paprika in the eggs was a great idea. Next time I’llmake sure to mix the biscuits better. They came out moist and tasty! Thank you!

I was blown away by these! Really not difficult, and so so yummy for minimal points out of your day. I froze half and ate half throughout the week. I warmed one up as a mid morning snack at work and several people commented on how yummy it looked/smelled. This is going to be a regular in my kitchen now. Even just the biscuits! The possibilities are endless with those
Favorite freezer breakfast sandwiches. I also love just making the biscuits and having those. The eggs are perfect, just enough cheese, and of course bacon. Love these! #top2021
#top2021
Who doesn’t love this easy to make dough?!?! I like to prep these on the weekends and wrap in foil for the week. My husband loves them just as much as I do and request them often. So easy and delicious! And much healthier than a fast food breakfast biscuit.
#top2021 These are wonderful! I use the biscuit recipe for other recipes, they’re very versatile.
These are so delicious! My 9 year old son is obsessed and asks for them constantly. Thank you for great recipes!
My FAVORITE! I love these biscuits and I love them even more paired with low calorie sausage gravy. Yum!
#top2021 These tasty wonders are in my freezer always! I keep them in my RV freezer, too. They are an easy to grab yummy breakfast. Thanks Star!
I definitely have to try these. I am not much of a breakfast eater, but I could totally see me eating one of these for lunch or dinner. #top2021
Excellent for my weekly breakfast meal prep.!
I got no the no ingredients to make this tomorrow! #top2021
Yum! Everyone in my house loves these biscuits. I like to make a double batch and freeze them to keep on hand for hectic mornings.
I can’t wait to try these… I’m always on the prowl for easy breakfasts on the weekends!! #top2021
Delicious and super easy!!! I love a hot, comforting breakfast and these are yummy. Thanks for sharing!! #top2021
These are amazing!!!! I love them with bacon, ham, or sausage. I store them in my freezer and they make the perfect breakfast item, snack, lunch, or dinner! I would rather pull this out of my freezer than a lean cuisine any day of the week. #top2021
I love making these when my kids are home for the weekend. They consider them a nice treat! Last time I made them I made extra and froze the leftovers. I may or may not have hidden a few from hubby so I’d have a few more for my breakfasts during the week. LOL
Perfect and filling for a breakfast on a school morning where lunch isn’t until 1:00!
#top2021
Bacon, egg and cheese is a NY go to, usually on a bagel. These sandwiches hit the spot and are en easy grab and go to take to school. I make them on a Sunday and then store them in the fridge. They reheat perfectly! Another win!
These are my favorite make ahead breakfast item but now they’re coming up so many more points with the new plan! Maybe I’m inputting wrong?! I used the nutrition information at the bottom of the recipe.
the nutritional information includes all zero point items. You’ll be best off inputting ingredients into the recipe builder, I’ll try to update with the link to the recipe builder soon.
Loved these!! Another good one, Star!
Star help! I’ve made these so many times and they’re usually AMAZING. This time my biscuits are dense and flavorless and almost look under cooked when you cut into them (but they’re fully cooked). Any suggestions?? I’m working with a different oven but I can’t think of anything else.
Oh no! I don’t think an oven should make too much difference except for a minute or two in cooking time tops. I’m really not sure. Could you have accidentally used regular flour possibly?
Breakfast is my favorite meal of the day! I made these delicious breakfast sandwiches yesterday, and they have moved to the top of the list of my favorite breakfast meals! I ate one yesterday for breakfast right after I made them and froze the remaining sandwiches. I went to bed and woke up, no joke, excited about having another one of these gems for breakfast this morning. I’m telling you, I feel like it was better than the first sandwich I ate yesterday. The flavors all melded together in perfect harmony 🙂 and I was so sad when I took my last bite. Never fear, I have more in the freezer! Thank you, Star, for making and sharing your tasty and creative recipes!
I am SO happy you enjoyed these as much as I do, Phyllis!
These are amazing! My husband requests them all the time and we perfer them over regular biscuits. We definitely stay full longer and they have a good flavor.
I really like this recipe. Works well for a quick on-the-go breakfast. I can make it, wrap it in foil and eat it as I am getting my classroom all fine-tuned for the day.
Absolutely delicious and so friggin easy to make, even (and especially) for a university/college student short on time. I cook once a week for the week and this is definitely going to stay in my rotation! Great breakfast to start my day and protein packed low point snack if I need something extra in the afternoon!
These biscuits are AMAZING. Everything Star aka Skinnyishdish makes is unbelievable. So thankful for her recipes. Dont hesitate for one more minute and make these biscuits and many more of her recipes.
You’re so kind, Megan. Thank you so much!
I use Velveeta, feels like cheating, but taste so-o good.
These are so incredibly tasty! They are also so filling and not just for breakfast, I like them for lunch and dinner. I haven’t made a Skinnyish Dish recipe I haven’t loved!
These biscuits are a life saver and I’m *obsessed*. I think it’s the garlic for me. My husband likes them too and he’s hard to please – especially with ingredients like Greek yogurt. But these biscuits get eaten up every time I make a batch! And the fact that you can freeze them and heat them back up whenever you’re ready is the best. The cheese gets melty – it’s a dream. Thank you for such a fantastic recipe!
Love these so much. Need to make some next week so I can have something to look forward to in the mornings when I go back to work. Hope you are okay Star x
These are soò good! Going right now to make them afain!!
These are amazing and they are a lot less points then McDonald’s!!
she has done it again! these are so delicious! i love how i make them once and last me all week:) the biscuits have an authentic biscuit flavor!
thank you for sharing these yummy recipes with us!
Do you have any recommendations for making the biscuits gluten free?
We love this recipie. They are so yummy and a MUCH healthier alternative to a fast food biscuit. They are always in our freezer for a quick breakfast option. My better half let’s me know when the stockpile is getting low!
My most favorite breakfast everrrr! I look forward to this in the morning more than my coffee. I could eat them every single morning, and I think I will
FYI these are not your southern style biscuit, my husband compared them more to the consistency of a cheddar bay biscuit from red lobster – though it’s been years since we’ve had one of those so who knows how accurate that comparison is. They’re delicious either way ♀️
Delicious and perfect for breakfast on the go!
My whole family loves these sandwiches! I’m kind of obsessed with the biscuits. I warm them in the toaster oven and then add mascarpone. So good!
YUM!!
I really like these biscuits and am super excited about the protein content. But they were very thick and heavy. If I use less yogurt do you think that would lighten them up some?
That’s the style of these type of biscuits they’re just a heavier and thicker biscuit. I’ll be sharing a recipe for lighter southern style biscuits VERY soon, but i’m still working on finalizing the recipe. That’ll get a bit of a lighter biscuit that’s still lightened up that you may be looking for. Happy you enjoyed these!
WOW these are amazing! I wanted to use up a whole container of plain Greek yogurt which was 700 ml. This worked out to exactly 3 cups. I made a batch and a half of biscuits
3 cups self rising flour
3 cups plain Greek yogurt
1.5 tsp salt
1.5 tsp garlic powder
6 tbsp Parmesan cheese
Might try making a sweet with raisins and cinnamon.
Thanks so much for the recipe
My all-time fave! Fulfills my savory breakfast cravings like no other on a busy morning schedule.
Literally all my WW inspo comes from these recipes!! But this one is definitely a favorite with the roomies and my personal favorite! -brianariggs-
This is one of those recipes that I just don’t see myself living without anymore. I’m so happy you enjoy it so much too!
The GOAT!! Love this recipe @stepgoalsandquinoabowls
I’ve tried and loved many of your recipes but this is my all time favorite! My family eats them and doesn’t even know they’re a healthier version. I have made variations with velveeta slices or sausage strips (I’ve recalculated at +/- a point depending on what I use.) I also love to top them with a few candied jalepenos! I store them wrapped in tinfoil and throw them in the oven to warm up while I get ready for the day. Thanks for sharing!!
So many recipes are my favorite. But this one is genius!
I made these last week. They are so good! My husband even asked if there were any left. He was so happy when I pulled one out of the freezer :)). Only thing I changed is I used pepper-jack cheese (yum!)
Getting ready to make another batch. Thank you sooo much!
I make these routinely. The addition of parm to the dough is genius. I love these BEC’s.
These are our favorite breakfast biscuits! We make them every week, plus they freeze so very well! We follow WW, so your recipes are perfect for us.
Hi, I love your recipes and appreciate you! I’m kind of funny when it comes to eggs and breakfast sandwiches, but these kept popping up and looked so good, so I took the plunge and made them today. Yum!! These are delicious and I’ll definitely be making them a lot…they’re a great change of pace! Thanks again for all you do!!
These are soooo good! I wish I would have made them months ago when I bookmarked the recipe. The garlic powder and parm in the dough really pop. I don’t think any of these are making it to the freezer. Definitely going into the regular breakfast rotation.

Oh my goodness, Star! These are AMAZING! I’ve lost count how many batches I’ve made since I saw these a few weeks ago! 5 batches? 7?? They’re SO good! Thank you for creating & sharing!
You’re welcome, Bethany! I’m so obsessed with these biscuit sandwiches. Glad to hear you enjoy’m too!
I have used many of your recipes as staples for my husband and I. We love everything you make! This morning in Georgia – sunny and warm – just seemed like a biscuit morning. I have never tried making “two-ingredient” type biscuits before. These turned out perfect! I even tried the sweet paprika in the eggs – yummy
When I enter your nutrition info in my ww recipe calculator it comes up as 7 sp. Am I doing something wrong?
the nutritional information includes all ingredients including zero point foods so it’ll add differently. you’ll need to use the WW recipe builder on their app or website for accurate points information if you’d like to double check.
These are awesome and so easy to make one thing I like is the dough ingredients made pizza with it before, thank you so much for your recipes. Lisa
These were amazing! The parm and garlic powder add A LOT to the two-ingredient dough! I was super impressed with the flow and ease of the cooking process! My husband approved and they were very filling!
How many points are just the biscuits?
I was also wondering the exact same thing.
I think the biscuits are just 3 pts per biscuit! You take the recipe and subtract the points for the cheese and bacon, depending on what kind you use, and then you’re left with 6 pts.
Loved, loved, loved the bacon egg and cheese biscuits! I now have them in the fridge waiting to heat up for my family for breakfast tomorrow!! Way better than McDonald’s! Thanks for sharing your recipes and your family, you’re just amazing!
Oh thanks so much for those kind words, Carrie! I don’t know if they’re better than Mcdonalds….. BUT they definitely fill the void for me! Haha! I’m super pumped you think so though! Have a great weekend!
What do you think the points would be if you didn’t add the bacon?
These look delicious!
Thanks! Should be 4 points
Thank you so much for all of your hints and tips! I’m gonna try these this morning. Thank you for sharing this recipe with all of us and your hard work that you put in to your blog! We have 6 children and we homeschool, so we’re heading out on a field trip to Rotella’s bakery this morning. Perfect timing for an easy breakfast
I hope you have a great field trip! How fun! I want a bakery field trip. haha! I’m so happy you and your kiddos enjoy these sandwiches. We sure love’m around here too!
MMMMMMMMMmmm just finished my bacon, egg and cheese muffin. Excellent, easy to prepare. Not sure any of this batch will make it to the freezer. I’m with you, I love a biscuit breakfast sandwich! Thanks for sharing.
I made these for the first time last week, and I am OBSESSED now! In fact, I made quite a few of your recipes, and they are a big hit with my family. Keep ’em coming!
I’m so happy you’ve enjoyed them, Peggy!
You are just cute! You brighten up what is still a bit of a confused day getting my points straight. Thank you for your fun way of doing things. And for always being so uplifting! What a blessing!
Awe, thanks so much for all those sweet words, Linda! I hope you are lovin’ the recipes!
These are great. My biscuits were still kinda of “doughy” on the inside. Any possible fix for that?
I’m so happy to hear you enjoyed’m, Sean! I haven’t had that problem really. The only thing I can guess is to just cook’m for a couple more minutes and that should help that a bit.
Self rising flour — will all purpose flour work?
No. It’ll need to be self-rising. However, you CAN make your own self rising flour by adding 1.5 teaspoons of baking powder and 1/2 teaspoon of salt per cup of all purpose flour.
Any advice as to why my biscuits fell flat and the insides wouldn’t cook? Second time I’ve tried the biscuits and I must be doing something wrong. I made my own self rising flour. Maybe baking soda isn’t good anymore?
Hi Tara. I’m so sorry these aren’t working for you. It’s possible if your baking powder is kind of old- that could totally be the case. I use Pillsbury self rising flour if that helps you at all. Are you using the correct amount as well?
Thanks for replying! I bet it’s because the baking powder isn’t fresh and I just need to buy self rising flour instead of using my own. 🙂 I’m determined to get these right!
Baking powder not baking soda
I have to tell you these biscuits are amazing!!! My husbawho’s not on Weight Watchers gave them 9 out of 10 stars!!!
Whoohooo! So happy to hear that!
How would the points change if i used canadian bacon instead of the center cut u used?
Uhhhhmmmm whoa. I was stalking this site after seeing a post related to your crockpot marinara on IG. It was on Kristine’s (I lost big and so can you) page. I followed the crumbs to your blog and love all of your posts. I tried the bacon and cheese biscuits and I LOVED them! I had one the next day and it was even better than the first day! In the future, I may use only 1 Tsp of garlic powder rather than 1 Tbsp, and that is only if I plan to serve them the same day. I wouldn’t modify a thing if I served them at a later time. Thank you for sharing!

I made these for breakfast this morning using homemade turkey sausage (0 pts) and no cheese. They were freakin delicious! Thanks so much for the recipe!

I just made these last night because I love every other recipe I have tried from you so I figured it would be good. When I heated it up this morning and started eating it, people were asking what fast food restaurant I got it from. These are absolutely amazing!! All of your recipes really are the best and I highly recommend you to anyone that asks!

Holy crap, Star. I am making these tomorrow. Like, the moment I wake up.
I’ve been obsessed with the bagels, and with garlic knots and even though my southern heart cries at the thought of real, butter filled, buttermilk biscuits, I think you just found the scratch to my itch!!!
YES GIRL! MAKE’M & LOVE’M! They really do fill up the hole in my heart where buttery flaky biscuits once were.

I’ve started reheating mine in my air fryer! It makes the biscuit crispy on the outside and it’s delicious! I preferred them fresh versus reheated up until now!
Oh wow!! I’ll have to try that. Thanks for letting me know about that! I’m glad you enjoyed’m!

Enjoyed! I’m sure what I’m doing wrong with the salt, both times I’ve tried two ingredient dough, its really salty? Loved the paprika in the eggs!
I use Kosher salt and not table salt/sea salt. If you use regular salt it can actually take the dish to a very salty level. Did you by chance use regular salt in place of kosher salt?

These are awesome! I’ve made them twice and the second time I used chicken sausage patties. It’s so nice to prepare these ahead of time and have breakfast ready and waiting in the fridge.

I’ve been eyeing this recipe since you posted it and finally made these this morning and they were amazing! Now I’m mad I didn’t make them sooner! Lol. BEC is my favorite breakfast sandwich so I will be making these again! My husband even liked them and ate 2. So easy to make!

WOW!!!! these are AMAZING! THANK YOU! i really can’t believe they are only 5 pts (!!). I’m glad I doubled the batch-going to freeze a lot of them. I used Sargento Ultra Thin Sharp Cheddar 🙂
I am so happy you enjoy, Alyssa!! Thank you SO much for letting me know and rating them! I can’t believe they are 5 points some days either! haha!

These were AWESOME! I drizzled just a little sugar free maple sryup on these for a little sweet and salty flavor!
YUM! So happy you enjoyed!! Thanks for letting me know!!

There is one thing I don’t understand about this recipe story. What is left-over bacon and what was it doing in your frig? Ha Ha Ha! I am putting these on my list to make!
HAHA! I had a lot of extra cooked bacon in the fridge because of other recipes I was working on. It normally doesn’t happen, I promise that!

These will so help my mornings!! I’m curious why you use a different method for the eggs here than you used for your original freezer breakfast sandwiches on the English muffins. Do you think this method produces a better result?
I’ve tried several of your recipes & have LOVED them all! Such a life saver to have the ww points already calculated too. Keep up the amazing work!!
I wanted the feel of a good ol’ regular bacon egg and cheese biscuit which means that I wanted whole eggs. (especially since I follow Weight Watchers Freestyle) I prefer whole eggs this way, but I love egg beaters/egg whites baked in the oven liquid for that recipe. That recipe was also created before eggs were zero points on the new WW system so I went with the egg whites/beaters.

Hi! So the biscuits alone are 3 points each?
Yep!

These look great! Can’t wait to make a batch to have on hand.
I had some extra grandes around from a bubble up recipe and had to make myself just one breakfast sandwich, but it was 7 pts! Can’t wait to make these biscuits.
Side note…do you think 2 ingredient dough would hold up in a bubble up? I almost tried it, but it was too late to experiment!

We did 2 ingredient dough in a bubble up and it worked great!
These sandwiches look amazing! I’ll be trying out this recipe really soon. Thanks for sharing!
Cheers
Thanks so much. I hope you love’m as much as I do!

Looks so yummy!! When I make freezer breakfast sandwiches, I always use payment paper.. then they go from freezer to fridge the night before.. straight to the microwave without needing the extra step of a paper towel! 🙂
Do you use any kind of tape to keep the parchment paper wrapped around the sandwich?
I just use foil
