Ingredients (Makes 12 mini sandwiches)
- 1 can (16.3 oz) refrigerated biscuit dough (or homemade biscuit dough if preferred)
- 6 breakfast sausage links (or patties, cooked and crumbled)
- 6 slices cheddar cheese (or your preferred cheese)
- 1 large egg
- 1 tbsp milk
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional: Fresh herbs (like chives or parsley) for garnish
Instructions
Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or grease it lightly to prevent sticking.
Prepare the Biscuits:
- If using refrigerated biscuit dough, separate the biscuits and place them on the prepared baking sheet. Bake according to the package instructions, usually around 10-12 minutes, until golden brown. If you’re making homemade biscuits, prepare and bake according to your recipe.
Cook the Sausage:
- While the biscuits bake, cook the breakfast sausage in a skillet over medium heat until fully cooked. If using sausage links, remove the casings and crumble the sausage as it cooks. Drain any excess fat and set aside.
Scramble the Egg:
- In a bowl, whisk the egg with the milk, salt, and pepper. Scramble the egg in a small non-stick skillet over medium heat until just cooked through. Remove from heat and set aside.
Assemble the Sandwiches:
- Once the biscuits are baked and cooled slightly, slice each one in half.
- On the bottom half of each biscuit, layer a portion of scrambled egg, some crumbled sausage, and a slice of cheese. Top with the other half of the biscuit to complete the sandwich.
Optional Step (Melt the Cheese):
- If you like your cheese extra melted, you can pop the assembled sandwiches back into the oven for 2-3 minutes, or microwave them for about 20 seconds.
Serve and Enjoy:
- Serve the sandwiches warm, optionally garnished with fresh herbs for a pop of color and extra flavor. Enjoy them immediately or pack them for a breakfast on the go!
Tips for Success
- Sausage Alternatives: Try using turkey sausage or vegetarian sausage patties for a lighter or plant-based version.
- Customize with Veggies: Add a slice of tomato or some spinach for extra flavor and nutrition.
- Freezer-Friendly: Make a batch ahead of time, and freeze the sandwiches (wrapped individually). Reheat them in the microwave or oven for a quick breakfast option.
These Mini Sausage & Cheese Breakfast Biscuit Sandwiches are easy to make and perfect for satisfying your morning hunger with a delicious combination of savory and cheesy goodness. Enjoy them fresh or as a make-ahead breakfast option!
