Ingredients
  

Base Ingredients

  • 1 Tablespoon olive oil (15 ml)
  • 0.5 cup yellow onion diced, about ½ of small onion (71g)
  • 1 cup red bell pepper diced, about ½ of bell pepper (71g)
  • 16 oz ground chicken sausage or pork sausage
  • 6 large eggs beaten
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (113g)
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour (250g)
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 0.5 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 0.5 teaspoon dried sage
  • 0.25 teaspoon dried thyme

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a 18x13 inch baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat, then add onion and bell pepper and sauté for 5 minutes.
  • Push to the side and add ground pork. Break into very small pieces as it cooks until browned and cooked through.
  • Add flour, salt, pepper, sage, thyme, and baking powder to a large mixing bowl and stir to combine.
  • In another mixing bowl, whisk eggs well and stir in 1 cup cheese. Add the pork mixture and stir to incorporate.
  • Make a well in flour mixture and add eggs mixture, stirring until combined. Mixture will be wet and sloppy.
  • Scoop 12 portions (around ⅓ cup each) onto baking sheet. Bake for 10-14 minutes, until just cooked through.
  • Store leftover protein biscuits in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days, or freeze.
