Last weekend, my husband and I went on a long walk, about eight miles or so. Early on in our trek, we came upon some litter on the walking path, a McDonald's bag and a wrapper for a biscuit breakfast. In my junk food eating days, I loved me a biscuit with egg & bacon. I was haunted by this unhealthy memory for the rest of our jaunt and decided I would make a healthy, low-carb and gluten-free biscuit breakfast sandwich when we got home. The result was oh so good.

Recipe Notes
This is a single-serving recipe, feel free to adjust accordingly. I have made these both in the oven as well as the microwave, like my one minute muffin recipe. I prefer the microwave version as it fluffs up more. Whereas, the oven-baked version, while still good, does not rise as much.
Hi Vanessa! I am going to make the bacon egg and biscuit recipe tomorrow and as I’m reading it over, I just want to make sure I have it right-when you say “scramble egg and then add mixture to crumbles” do you literally mean scramble as in cook the egg or just whisk the egg and add to the crumbles?
I haven’t been this excited for breakfast in a long time 🙂
Thanks!!
Whisk the egg… 🙂
This recipe was really good. I have made your “minute muffins” many times but wanted a more biscuit texture. Baking it in the oven did just that! It was a little more crumbly than I expected. I’ll let it cool longer next time. Thanks Vanessa.
I’m really excited to make this. However, do you think this will still come together right with just egg whites (from a carton)? I was thinking about doing 2 servings (6Tablespoons) of the egg whites to make up for the volume. Thoughts??
I don’t see why not. Give it a try and report back!
Reporting back! It worked out wonderfully! So I used 2 servings of carton egg whites and since I don’t have ghee I used 1 tsp of coconut oil. Wonderful! Next time I’m definitely going to add a few spices to season things up a bit more… this is a really nice blank canvas to work with. I’m also thinking about making a large batch and pouring into my mini-muffin pan to make mini-size dinner biscuits. Oh, this makes me so happy, the nutrition profile on these is so, so great and more importantly I can have biscuits again. Thank you!
PS. I had to bake mine almost 10 mins longer, the middle wasn’t quite set… nice golden brown when done though. 🙂
PPS. using the coconut oil and egg whites yielded these stats.
155 cal / 8.3 g fat / 6g carb / 5g fiber / 13g protein <— WOW, all from a biscuit
That’s great! Thanks for reporting back with your success.
I just realized that if you take the “muffin” and split in in half and grill it on your grill pan with butter, oil or whatever you love, then press your ingredients into it you would probably have a breakfast pannini effect. So yummy!
I grew up with biscuits on the weekends. I have been CRAVING biscuits. This was such a big and puffy biscuit. Great butter flavor. Even my husband liked it!
Thank you Vanessa.
Looks super yummy and can’t wait to try it! I love that you have broccoli for breakfast too. I wouldn’t think of that. Still working on and always rethinking for my newly adapted low-carb healthy lifestyle! As always, thanks for sharing your wonderful recipes and insight to all things relating to living a healthy life.
I’ve been wanting to try the chai seed blue berry jam, but what to put it on? A biscuit! Thank you can’t wait to try this.
hi vanessa – thanks so much for this – i made my husband of bunch of eggy-muffins for an alternative to his EVERY DAY banana, but he would love something to ‘wrap’ them in – have you tried making a bunch of these and freezing them?
Yes you can freeze these!
Do you think I could just use yolks for this?
Hi there… I sent you a message a week or so ago about substituting almond flour for flax and it worked great. It was really good and I can’t wait to make it again. Thx!
That’s great. Thanks for reporting back.
I didn’t have flax meal so I ground some up myself in my vitamix ( not sure if that was ok). My biscuits cooked in the microwave had a more light brown tint and you could see some of the flax seeds I ground up. It tasted good however, with a nutty, buttery flavor. Do you think the biscuits didn’t look lighter in color because of the flax seed I used. I didn’t have golden flaxseed.
Yes. Golden flaxseed is lighter and will yield a lighter biscuit.
The Biscuit recipe is for one biscuit. I know baking is tricky, so will you please give a recipe for
at last 6. I’ve doubled recipes in the past and sometimes it worked and other times nope 🙁
I’m not adventurous enough to X’s 6 everything in hopes it will work and will trust you’re “how to” to make 6 all at once” recipe.
I thought microwaving was out! So how come you are using a microwave!!!!
I use the microwave on occasion — not daily — but on occasion. I’ve read the research. This is an interesting piece.
This is wonderful! I had a breakfast sandwich yesterday and biscuits w/ low carb sausage gravy today!! I realize this is an old post, but hopefully someone can answer if there is a master mix of this to just have a bunch of the dry ingredients on hand to add the egg & butter, or if there has been anyone to turn this into a half dozen or full dozen to store in the fridge or freezer for the week?
I have only every made them as single serving. If you come up with a “master mix” please do share!
Didn’t think this was going to be as good as it turned out! I have been GF for 10 years now. I have tried SO many GF adapted recipes. This is BY FAR THE BEST GF biscuit!!!!!!! Amazing! Thank you SO much for sharing this!! So easy and tasty, plus it totally works for my keto diet.
