Tips & Substitutions
For a lighter version, consider using turkey or chicken sausage instead of pork. You can also substitute the bisquick with a gluten-free mix if needed. For added flavor, try incorporating fresh herbs like chives or parsley into the batter. If you prefer a spicier kick, add some crushed red pepper flakes or diced jalapeños. This dish pairs beautifully with Serita'S Sausage On Rye for a delicious brunch spread.
