Preheat your oven to 450º. Add flour, baking powder, salt, and cheese to a bowl and stir to combine. Add the buttermilk and stir until a dough forms. Don’t overmix.
Melt the butter in a small bowl. Add the seasonings, and stir to combine. Pour the butter mixture into the bottom of the baking dish. Scoop the biscuit dough on top of the butter, spreading it to meet the edges. Brush butter over the top of the dough, and use a knife to score the top into 8 equal sections.
Bake for 26-28 minutes or until the tops are golden brown. Let the biscuits sit for a minute when you remove them from the oven to make sure they soak up all the butter.

In a large bowl, whisk the eggs and milk together. Season with salt and pepper, then pour the egg mixture over the biscuits.
Spread the gravy in an even layer over the top of the biscuit mixture. Cover with foil, and bake for about 35 minutes. Remove the foil and bake 5 minutes more. Let sit for about 5 minutes before slicing and serving.
Cut the strawberries into small pieces. Add to a pan and cook over medium heat for about 10 minutes.
As the berries begin to bubble, mash them in the pan. After 10 minutes, remove from heat.

Veggie Egg Breakfast Casserole
Cook time: 1 hour 45 min
Ingredients:
1 Tbsp butter
5 cups zucchini, shredded
½ red onion, finely diced
1 cup corn kernels
1 red bell pepper, finely chopped
1 cup cottage cheese
1 cup crumbled feta cheese
¼ cup fresh dill, chopped
2 Tbsp flour
½ tsp salt
¾ tsp baking powder
½ tsp pepper
10 large eggs, beaten
Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 350º. Heat butter in a pan over medium heat, then add the onion and cook until translucent, 3-4 min. Squeeze as much water as possible out of the zucchini, then add to the pan with onion. Cook 10-15 minutes until lightly browned and most of the moisture has disappeared.
Add the onion and zucchini to a large bowl. Add the corn, bell pepper, cottage cheese, feta, dill, flour, salt, baking powder, and pepper. Stir until well combined, then pour the mixture into a greased baking dish. Pour your beaten eggs on top of the veggie mixture, and stir once more. Bake for 1 hour or until the edges are beginning to brown and the center is set.
Combine room temperature sausage and biscuit mix in a large bowl; mix with your hands until well combined. Add shredded Cheddar cheese and mix until fully incorporated. Roll mixture into about 30 walnut-sized balls; transfer to a baking sheet.

Vanilla Latte Pancakes
Cook time: 25 min
Ingredients:
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
½ tsp salt
1 large egg
1 cup buttermilk
1 Tbsp espresso powder
2 Tbsp sugar
2 tsp vanilla
Instructions:
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, sugar, and espresso powder. In a separate bowl, whisk the buttermilk, vanilla, and egg until well combined.
Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and whisk until just combined—there should still be a few lumps in the batter.
Melt a pat of butter in a nonstick pan over medium heat. Add about ¼ cup of batter to the pan, and flip once the edges are set and bubbles form. Once both sides are cooked, set aside and repeat with the remaining batter.
Cook the sausage in a medium saucepan over medium heat until it’s cooked through, 5–8 minutes. Remove the sausage from the pan, leaving the drippings behind.
Add the butter to the saucepan. Once melted, whisk in the flour to form a roux. Whisk until smooth, but don’t let the roux start to color. It should take only a minute or two.
Next, add the milk a little at a time, whisking as you pour it in. Whisk in the black pepper. Reduce the heat to medium-low and continue whisking for 10 minutes or until the gravy is thickened. Add the sausage back to the gravy.
Serve with hot biscuits!

In a separate bowl, whisk eggs until well beaten. Add the applesauce, milk, maple syrup, ginger, vanilla and oil and whisk until combined. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and stir until mixed.
Fold in the apples and pecans, then spread the oatmeal in your pan in an even layer.
Top with more pecans, then bake 45 to 55 minutes or until the edges brown.
In a small bowl, mix the brown sugar, cinnamon, cocoa, and salt. Add the melted butter, and mix until the mixture is the consistency of wet sand.
Using a 2 inch biscuit cutter or cookie cutter, cut circles into your pie dough. Spoon 2 tsp of the brown sugar mixture onto the circles, then top with another dough circle. Crimp the edges with a fork, and use a knife to cut 4 small slits into the top piece.

French Toast Ravioli
Ingredients:
Cream cheese filling:
¼ cup room temp cream cheese + 1 Tbsp of sugar, mixed well.
French toast:
Brioche loaf
2 eggs
¼ cup whole milk
¼ cup heavy cream
2 eggs
1 Tbsp sugar
⅛ tsp cinnamon
Pinch of salt
Instructions:
To make the custard, put the eggs, milk, cream, sugar, cinnamon, and salt in a shallow bowl. Beat well with a fork until combined.
Take a slice of brioche, and cut a circle using a cookie or biscuit cutter. Repeat for as many pieces of ravioli as you’d like to make.
On one brioche round, scoop about a teaspoon of the cream cheese filling. Top with another brioche round, then use a fork to crimp the edges together.
Once all your ravioli are crimped, coat each piece in the custard mixture. Once coated, cook in a pan over medium heat, a few minutes on each side until cooked through.
Serve with fruit and powdered sugar.
Use the leftover brioche to make croutons or bread pudding.
Open the can of biscuits, and use a 1-inch biscuit or cookie cutter to cut out the middle. Place them in an air fryer, keeping space between the biscuits. Air Fry at 360º for 5 minutes.
While the biscuits are in the air fryer, mix the cinnamon and sugar together until well combined. Melt your butter.
When the biscuits are done, brush them with the melted butter and immediately sprinkle them with the cinnamon sugar mixture until well coated.
“Homemade” Canned Cinnamon Rolls

½ cup whipping cream
4 Tbsp butter, divided
2 ½ Tbsp brown sugar

While the cinnamon rolls are baking, put the cream cheese and remaining butter in a bowl. Microwave for 30 seconds, then mix until smooth. Add the icing that came in the can, as well as the powdered sugar. Stir until combined.
