3. Pour eggs over sausage mixture.
4. In large bowl, mix flour, baking powder, sugar, baking soda and 1 teaspoon salt.
5. Cut in butter, using pastry blender (or pulling 2 table knives through ingredients in opposite directions), until mixture looks like coarse crumbs. Stir in cheese and green onions.
6. Add buttermilk; stir just until combined. Drop dough by rounded tablespoonfuls evenly onto sausage mixture.
7. Bake uncovered 20 to 30 minutes or until biscuits are deep golden brown and done in the middle.
