Biscuit Egg Casserole Substitutions
- Canned biscuits – there isn’t a substitute for this. We have not tried it with from-scratch biscuits.
- Breakfast sausage – you can replace the breakfast sausage with any of your favorite breakfast meats like ham or ground turkey sausage.
- Eggs – we don’t recommend replacing the eggs for egg whites or egg substitute. It does not result in the same texture or consistency.
- Cheese – You can omit the cheese entirely if you’d prefer not to have it.
