Biscuit and Sausage Sandwich Recipe

American · Main course · 35 min total

A classic Southern breakfast sandwich featuring a flaky buttermilk biscuit, savory sausage patty, and optional egg and cheese.

Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 cup cold unsalted butter, cubed
• 3/4 cup cold buttermilk
• 1 pound bulk breakfast sausage
• 4 slices cheddar cheese (optional)
• 4 large eggs (optional)
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 1 tablespoon butter or oil for cooking eggs

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 450°F (230°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt. Cut in cold butter using a pastry blender or fingertips until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
3. Add buttermilk and stir just until dough comes together. Turn onto a floured surface and gently knead 4-5 times. Pat to 1/2-inch thickness. Cut out 4 biscuits with a 2.5-inch cutter. Place on prepared baking sheet.
4. Bake biscuits for 10-12 minutes until golden brown. Let cool slightly.
5. While biscuits bake, divide sausage into 4 equal portions and shape into patties slightly larger than biscuits (they shrink). Cook in a skillet over medium heat until browned and cooked through, about 4-5 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels.
6. If adding eggs, fry them in butter or oil in a nonstick skillet over medium heat until whites are set and yolks are cooked to your liking. Season with salt and pepper.
7. Assemble sandwiches: Split each biscuit in half. Place a sausage patty on the bottom half, top with cheese (if using) and a fried egg (if using). Cover with biscuit top. Serve warm.

Tips

• For extra flaky biscuits, freeze the butter and grate it into the flour mixture.
• Sandwiches can be assembled ahead and wrapped in foil; reheat in a 350°F oven for 10 minutes.
• Substitute turkey sausage for a lighter option.
