These southern sausage biscuits are perfect for those mornings when you’re in the mood for a warm and welcoming breakfast that will transport you to a bygone era. Easy to make with only three ingredients, they’re perfect for a weekend brunch or breakfast on the go. Whenever I’m in the need for something easy but filling in the morning, my family and I go for these biscuits. The combination of the fluffy biscuits and the flavorful sausage makes me think of all the love and care that goes into making a dinner for someone special.
Breakfast platters with these southern sausage biscuits, scrambled eggs, and a fruit salad are the perfect harmony of tastes and textures. To balance the savoury sausage with something sweet, try serving them with a dab of jam or jelly. Drizzling on some honey butter gives the perfect amount of sweetness for an indulgent touch.
Four biscuits flavored with southern sausage
What You Need:
Buttermilk biscuits, eight in a can
one pound of breakfast links
a quarter cup of crumbled cheddar cheese
How to Follow
Set oven temperature to 375°F, or 190°C.
Make sure the morning sausage is cooked through by breaking it into pieces and cooking it in a pan over medium heat.
Before stuffing each biscuit with around a spoonful of cooked sausage and a sprinkle of cheddar cheese, flatten them down a little.
Pinch the biscuit’s edges together tightly to seal as you fold them over the filling.
On a parchment-lined baking sheet, lay the sealed cookies seam side down.
The biscuits should be baked for 12–15 minutes in a preheated oven until they become golden brown.
Once taken out of the oven, let them cool for a moment before enjoying.
Tips and Variations
Hot sausage or a sprinkle of red pepper flakes added to the sausage mixture as it cooks will make it hotter. Consider using a plant-based sausage alternative if you’re catering to vegetarians. Try using pepper jack for a little heat or mozzarella for a softer taste; you can also try using other kinds of cheese. For an extra flavorful touch, I sometimes stir in some sautéed onions and bell peppers with a tablespoon of filling.
