These sausage egg and cheese biscuits are a delicious breakfast. They are low carb, high protein and so easy to make!
These one bowl sausage, egg, and cheese biscuits offer a nostalgic nod to the classic diner breakfasts of the past, capturing that savory, comforting flavor without the heavy carbs. By combining hearty breakfast sausage with sharp cheddar cheese and fresh scallions, you get a protein packed bite that feels like an indulgence.

The addition of cottage cheese ensures a moist, tender crumb that perfectly mimics the fluffy texture of a traditional fast-food biscuit while keeping the nutritional profile lean and satisfying.

Preparation is incredibly straightforward, requiring just a single bowl to mix all the ingredients, which makes the morning routine or weekend meal prep a breeze. Using a blend of almond and coconut flours keeps the recipe entirely gluten free and grain free, providing a sturdy yet soft base that holds up well.

These golden brown gems are the ultimate convenient breakfast. They pack easily for a commute or a post workout snack, offering a high-protein boost that keeps you fueled until lunch.

They deliver that timeless combination of salty sausage and melted cheese that satisfies any craving for a traditional breakfast sandwich.

Low Carb Sausage Egg + Cheese Biscuits
Equipment
- medium pan
Ingredients
- 3 Italian sausage links, casings removed
- 6 eggs, beaten
- 1/2 cup (105 g) cottage cheese
- 3/4 cup (85 g) almond flour
- 1/4 cup (30 g) coconut flour
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 3/4 cup (85 g) shredded cheddar cheese
- 3 small scallions, diced
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375℉. Line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a medium pan, over medium-high heat, cook your sausage using a wooden spoon to break up the meat until no longer pink and crispy. Transfer to a paper towel lined plate and set aside.
- In a large bowl, whisk together your eggs and cottage cheese until mostly combined. Add in the almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, salt and pepper to taste, and mix together. Lastly fold in the cooked sausage, shredded cheddar and scallions. Use a large scooper and transfer (about 1/4 cup per biscuit) to the baking sheet- they do spread a little bit. Optional: top each with a little more cheese. Bake for 22-25 minutes or until golden brown on top.
Notes
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in your fridge for up 4 days.
- You can use any kind of sausage you prefer.
- You can use any kind of cheese you prefer.
- If you don’t have coconut flour, just use more almond flour.
- If you don’t have almond flour, you can use oat flour or all purpose flour.
Tasted great, but very flat. Not nearly biscuit like.
Sorry you didnt love them!
These are the best breakfast muffins I’ve ever made. I eat a strict antinflammatory diet due to my issues with MS, diabetes, high blood pressure and insulin resistance. These muffins are now on my go to breakfast list.
HI Patricia, Thanks for trying the biscuits and your kind feedback!
I made these with breakfast sausage with sage and extra cheese there was no flavor. I will definitely use Italian sausage next time. these spread a lot I would suggest a muffin pan with muffin cups.
Sorry the recipe didn’t work for you!
This looks amazing! I want to make for Easter brunch! what would the carb count be if i use all almond flour?
Thankyou
Donna
Can these be made with just using egg whites?
HI Veronica, I haven’t tried them with just egg whites so i cannot say for sure if that would be successful.
Great
Great 👍 receipt, love ❤️ it
Thank you Deonarine!
Hi Stella,
Am I able to use whole wheat flour for this recipe?
Hi Rachel, I haven’t tried whole wheat flour here, so I can’t say for sure if it would work
Great love receipt
Thank you!
I made your low carb sausage egg + cheese biscuits today!! Very nice, great recipe that truly works!!
Hi Lila, thank you for trying the recipe out and your kind feedback!
Made these for my hubby and he loved them! So yummy and filling. I also love the recipe because it is easy and flexible. There are many different ways to change the personality of the biscuit without changing the basic recipe — bacon, spinach, feta, swiss, ham… They are also great because they can be made ahead. Reheating didn’t change any of their goodness. Will add to our weekly rotation!
HI Angela, that’s awesome! Yes, these are so versatile and i have so many versions on my website with feta, broccoli, sun-dried tomatoes! Enjoy em!!
Will these egg cheese & sausage biscuits freeze well. I live alone and would never be able to eat the number this recipe makes in the time before they spoil.
yes the freeze great!
I live alone and this recipe is something I will try and enjoy eating however it makes more than I could to eat in a short time before they spoiled in the refrigerator. Will they freeze well or how to cut recipe to yield 1/2. thanks
Hi Donald, yes you can halve the recipe or just freeze them individually
this sounds yummy
They are great Deb!
Fantastic!
This will be a new breakfast staple for sure. My kids even loved it, from the baby on up!
Yes!! I love to hear that especially when the kids are on board!
