Notes
-
- Canned Biscuits: This recipe can also be adapted using canned buttermilk biscuits. Each adaptation will change the dish a bit, but it will still be delicious.
- Sausage: You can use mild or spicy breakfast sausage or chorizo sausage for extra kick. It's simple to adapt to suit your personal preference. You could also use turkey sausage.
- Alternate Protein: You could omit the sausage and use cubed ham or bacon for the filling instead.
- Egg Whites: You can make the filling using half whole eggs and half Egg Beaters or a similar egg white product to cut calories.
- Cheese: You can use any flavor of cheese you like, or have on hand, in the same amount. Colby jack cheese, pepper jack cheese, gouda cheese, gruyere cheese or provolone cheese.
- Veggies: You could add sautéed red bell pepper, green bell pepper or mushrooms.
- Make Homemade Biscuit Dough: You can make your own biscuits for this dish using my Southern Buttermilk Biscuits recipe if you prefer. Make them per the recipe, then cut into quarters and assemble the cobbler per the directions.
