Biscuit Sandwiches

• One of the easiest breakfast ideas for biscuit dough is to make a batch of biscuits as usual, then stuff them with various fillings to make a breakfast sandwich. Start with scrambled eggs and add bacon, sausage patties or a slice of ham or Canadian bacon, plus cheese and any vegetable you'd put in an omelette, such as spinach or mushrooms. You can also customize each sandwich or offer a variety of fillings and let diners prepare their own.

Biscuit Benedicts

• You can also serve your breakfast biscuit sandwiches open-faced. Drizzle them with hollandaise sauce and call them "biscuit Benedicts" if you like, since they are essentially the same as a traditional eggs Benedict dish, only with biscuit halves substituted for the English muffin base. You can also construct any Benedict variation atop a biscuit, including eggs Florentine made with spinach, crab Benedict, smoked salmon Benedict and eggs Blackstone, made with a slice of tomato.

Breakfast Casserole

• Layer beaten eggs, cheese, browned crumbled sausage or bacon and biscuit dough in a buttered casserole dish for a simple breakfast main course. You can also add any cooked vegetable you like to the casserole as well -- try asparagus, chopped broccoli, diced zucchini or diced potatoes. You can use the biscuit dough to create a bottom crust, or place them on the top as if they were a pastry lid. Bake at 350 degrees until the eggs are set, then serve. This option is particularly handy if you are feeding a crowd.

Biscuits and Gravy

• Biscuits and gravy are a hearty breakfast standby often associated with Southern regional cuisine. The classic gravy used for this dish is a cream or milk-based sausage gravy heavily seasoned with pepper, sometimes known as sawmill gravy. However, it's not the only option. Redeye gravy, made with coffee grounds, can also be used, as can chicken or turkey gravy.

Breakfast Pizza

• Biscuit dough can also be pressed into a makeshift crust and turned into a breakfast pizza. The concept may seem unusual, but it's not all that far removed from a breakfast casserole; it's similarly suitable for serving a small crowd. Press the dough into a jelly roll pan. Add a layer of cheese, crumbled sausage or bacon and any cooked vegetables you'd like such as sauteed mushrooms. Crack several eggs over the top -- one per serving -- and season with salt and pepper. Bake at 475 degrees for about 10 minutes, just long enough to melt the cheese, and set the eggs. Sprinkle with fresh chopped parsley or other herbs and serve.
