Recipe Tips

Cook Components Simultaneously

Bake the potatoes and bacon at the same time to save preparation time.

Use Low Heat for Eggs

Gentle heat creates soft, creamy scrambled eggs rather than dry eggs.

Choose Quality Sausage

A well-seasoned breakfast sausage adds a lot of flavor to the entire plate.

Crisp the Potatoes Well

Avoid overcrowding the baking sheet so the potatoes become golden instead of steaming.

Serve Immediately

The breakfast plate tastes best when all components are freshly cooked and served hot.

How to Store

Refrigerator

Store leftovers in separate airtight containers for up to 3 days.

Freezing

  • Sausage patties can be frozen for up to 2 months.
  • Biscuits can be frozen for up to 2 months.
  • Potatoes may be frozen, though texture may change slightly.
  • Scrambled eggs are best enjoyed fresh.

Reheating

  • Reheat potatoes and sausage in a 375°F (190°C) oven.
