Ingredients
  

For the Filling
  • 1 cup Mild Cheddar Cheese Adds creaminess and flavor; substitute with Monterey Jack for a slightly different taste.
  • 1 cup Bell Peppers Chopped; you can use zucchini or spinach for a fresh twist.
  • 1 medium Onion Chopped; choose yellow or red onions for great flavor depth.
  • 1 teaspoon Salt Enhances all the flavors; kosher salt is a great option for better control.
  • 1/2 teaspoon Pepper Adds a hint of heat; feel free to adjust according to your taste.
  • 1 pound Breakfast Sausage Rich and hearty; turkey or veggie sausage can be used as a healthier alternative.
  • 1 cup Heavy Cream Creates a velvety gravy; half-and-half works well if you prefer a lighter option.
  • 1/4 cup Flour Thickens the gravy beautifully; consider a gluten-free blend if necessary.
  • 6 large Eggs Essential for binding and texture; aim for 6-7 beaten eggs for optimum fluffiness.
  • 2 tablespoons Unsalted Butter Offers richness for cooking; olive oil makes a healthy switch if desired.
For the Biscuit Topping
  • 1 package Red Lobster Honey Butter Biscuit Mix A delicious base for your topping; any quality biscuit mix can be substituted.
  • 1 cup Milk Needed for biscuit preparation; you’re welcome to use any type that you prefer.
  • 1 tablespoon Honey Sweetens your biscuit topping; maple syrup is a tasty alternative if you’re out of honey.
Cooking Oil
  • 1 tablespoon Olive Oil Used for sautéing the veggies and cooking eggs; butter is a fine alternative for added flavor.

Equipment

  • large skillet
  • Mixing Bowl
  • Ramekins
  • Baking Sheet

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Begin by heating a tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped bell peppers and onions, sautéing them for 3-4 minutes until they become tender and fragrant. Once ready, remove the vegetables from the heat and set aside.
  2. In the same skillet, add the breakfast sausage and cook for about 5-6 minutes, breaking it up until it's crispy and golden brown. Sprinkle flour over the sausage and stir well. Then, pour in the heavy cream, mixing it thoroughly. Cook the mixture for another 2-3 minutes until it thickens nicely and pulls together into a rich gravy, then remove from heat.
  3. In a mixing bowl, combine the Red Lobster Honey Butter Biscuit Mix and milk, stirring gently until a shaggy dough forms. Set the dough aside to rest briefly while you prepare the next components.
  4. In a separate skillet, heat a bit of butter or olive oil over medium-low heat. Pour in the beaten eggs and season them gently with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until they are just set but still slightly creamy, about 3-4 minutes. Gently fold the scrambled eggs into the cooled sautéed vegetables.
  5. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Lightly grease your ramekins and start layering your Savory Breakfast Pot Pie. Begin with a layer of the scrambled egg and vegetable mixture, followed by sprinkling some mild cheddar cheese. Spoon the sausage gravy over the top before adding the desired amount of biscuit dough.
  6. Place the assembled ramekins on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes. Once baked, remove from the oven and brush the tops with melted honey butter while warm.

Notes

Ensure your breakfast sausage is fully cooked and crispy for texture. Avoid overmixing the biscuit dough to keep it light and fluffy. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days or freeze individual portions for up to 2 months.
