Red Lobster's Cheddar Bay Biscuits are so craveable that, sometimes, we wish we could eat 'em for breakfast. Luckily, with one recipe hack, these savory beauties can be transformed into Cheddar Bay breakfast bites. Here, a classic sausage, egg, and cheese sando meets the Cheddar Bay Biscuit, like an expedited homemade breakfast sandwich — and the fusion is oh-so right. It all starts with a box of dry Red Lobster Cheddar Bay Biscuit Mix. A 11.36-ounce box (enough to make one batch of breakfast biscuits) currently runs for just about $3 on Amazon. Simply fold that dry batter with a few hearty, savory elements to take these biscuits to the next level. 

To make it, start by scrambling some eggs. Meanwhile, cook up your choice of ground breakfast sausage in a separate skillet. Depending on your preferences, you could also use spicy Mexican chorizo or crumbled plant-based sausage here. Finally, it's time to bust out the Cheddar Bay Biscuit mix. Whisk the dry mix with a generous handful of shredded cheese and a splash of milk, then gently fold in the prepared scrambled eggs and ground breakfast sausage. From there, simply roll the mixed batter into biscuit-sized breakfast bites and bake 'em on a cookie sheet until golden brown. In true Cheddar Bay fashion, be sure to brush those still-warm breakfast bites with the included garlic-herb-butter seasoning packet once they come out of the oven. 

Not only do the added sausage and eggs create a richer, toothier texture and a more filling biscuit, but they also add a major kick of protein to fuel busy mornings. Cheddar Bay Biscuits prepared according to the package directions already pack two grams of protein. Add to that six more grams of protein per one large egg, and the listed protein per serving of your favorite sausage, and you've got a hearty serving of filling protein. 

Feel free to experiment with different types of cheese to further customize the flavor profile of these biscuits. Pepper jack would lend a kick of spice, while sharp cheddar would counterbalance the umami garlic notes in the seasoning mix. You could also add some chopped green onion into the batter for a fresh element. However you mix 'em, these biscuits are the tender, flaky vehicle your breakfast game has been waiting for. 

Cheddar Bay breakfast bites make an excellent grab-and-go breakfast on weekday mornings with a cup of coffee and an apple or an orange. They could also be served as part of a larger brunch spread on leisurely weekends, especially when paired with fresh dishes like a fresh fruit salad or our banana matcha smoothie. In an airtight container in the fridge, Cheddar Bay breakfast bites will retain their quality for up to three days. Enjoy 'em cold, or reheat them for a few minutes in the oven at 325 degrees Fahrenheit.
