If you want a fast, family-friendly breakfast or snack without sausage, these Simple Sausage-Free Biscuit Bites deliver. They use everyday ingredients, bake in under 15 minutes, and are perfect for meal prep. I tested this recipe twice, and the best texture came from using a hotter oven and a short bake so the biscuits stay fluffy.

   Cut biscuits into quarters. Press each piece lightly into a muffin cup. Spoon 1 tablespoon of filling over each biscuit piece.
