Have it for breakfast or for dinner, these versatile sliders are delicious any time of day.
1 450-g pkg turkey sausage, casings removed
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup whole-wheat flour
1 tbsp flax meal, optional
2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
1 1/2 cups 35% cream
1 tsp olive oil
1/2 small onion, finely chopped
1/2 red sweet pepper, finely chopped
1/2 zucchini, finely chopped
6 eggs, beaten
3/4 cups grated cheddar
Position racks in top and bottom thirds of oven. Preheat to 425F. Spray a large baking sheet with oil. Line another large baking sheet with parchment.
Shape sausage meat into eight 3-in.-wide patties. Arrange on parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake in top third of oven, flipping halfway through, until juices run clear when a knife tip is inserted into patties, about 20 min.
Stir flours with flax meal, baking powder and salt in a large bowl. Add cream, stirring mixture with a fork, until it starts to come together. Transfer dough to a floured surface and pat into a 1/2-in.-thick circle. Cut into eight 2 1/2-in. rounds with a cookie cutter or drinking glass. Arrange on oiled baking sheet. Bake in bottom third of oven until tops of biscuits are golden, 10 to 12 min.
Heat a large non-stick frying pan (about 10 in.) over medium-high. Add oil, then onion, pepper and zucchini. Cook until onion is soft, about 3 min. Pour eggs into pan, then reduce heat to medium-low. When edges are set after 1 min, use spatula to lift an edge, pulling toward the centre and tilting pan to let uncooked liquid egg mixture run underneath. Sprinkle with cheese. Cook, covered, until eggs have set, 4 to 5 min. Transfer omelette to a cutting board and use biscuit cutter to cut out eight 2 1/2-in. rounds.
Assemble sliders by cutting biscuits in half crosswise. Layer with sausage patties, then egg rounds. Add top biscuit and serve.
