Ingredients for servings

    egg patties

  • 4 large eggs

  • 0.5 cup egg whites (approx. 4 large eggs)

  • 0.5 cup shredded manchego cheese (or cheese of your choice)

  • 3 slices deli ham

  • 0.25 teaspoon salt

  • 0.25 teaspoon ground pepper

    • whole wheat biscuits

  • 2 cups whole wheat flour

  • 0.25 cup finely chopped green onion

  • 2 teaspoons baking powder

  • 1 teaspoon salt

  • 0.25 teaspoon dried oregano

  • 0.25 teaspoon dried basil

  • 0.25 cup cold butter (1/2 a stick)

  • 2 tablespoons melted butter for brushing on top

  • 0.75 cup fat-free milk

    • Optional Ingredients

  • Sliced avocados

  • Sliced tomatoes

  • Baby spinach

Directions

  • To make the egg patties, preheat oven to 350°F. Heavily grease a standard sized muffin tin and set aside. Then, add all ingredients for egg patties to a medium sized bowl and whisk to combine completely. Fill each muffin tin 1/2 way and bake for about 10-12 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and the egg is cooked throughout.

  • Set the egg patties aside. Then raise the oven temperature to 425°F and let oven preheat.

  • In the mean time, make the whole wheat biscuits. Grease a baking sheet and set aside. Add all ingredients except butter and milk to a medium sized bowl and whisk to combine. Add 1/4 cup butter and use two knives or a pastry cutter to chop butter into small pieces until the mixture resembles coarse meal. Add milk and stir until just moist (dough will be sticky).

  • Place dough onto a heavily floured surface and fold over/knead lightly 5 times with floured hands. Flatten dough to a 0.5 inch thickness and cut into biscuits using a biscuit cutter, cookie cutter, or cup, pushing straight down and then twisting slightly. The biscuits will not spread at all so you want to use a small size to keep the biscuits mini. Gently reform dough and make more biscuits until dough is finished (the last biscuit will be a weird shape but I didn’t want to waste dough).

  • Place biscuits on the greased baking sheet with the edges touching and brush remaining butter on top of each biscuit. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown.

  • Assemble the biscuit with the egg patties and optional ingredients (e.g. tomato, spinach, avocado) of your choice.
