Savory and cheesy, these Southern sausage and cheese biscuits are perfect for breakfast or brunch, offering hearty flavors and crispy edges that satisfy every appetite.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Mix the sausage and grated Cheddar cheese thoroughly with your hands.
- Shape the mixture into small balls.
- Place the balls on a cookie sheet and freeze or refrigerate as desired.
- Bake at 400°F until the biscuits are slightly brown.
Tips & Substitutions
For a lighter version, consider using turkey sausage instead of pork. If you don’t have Cheddar on hand, other cheeses like Monterey Jack or Pepper Jack can work well. Mix in some chopped green onions or jalapeños for added flavor. Ensure your mixture is well combined for the best texture. If you prefer a flakier biscuit, add a bit of cold butter to the Bisquick.
Serving Suggestions
These biscuits make a fantastic breakfast item or snack, and they pair beautifully with a side of fresh fruit or a light salad. Consider serving them alongside your favorite dipping sauce or gravy. They also work well as an appetizer at gatherings, complementing dishes like Festive Dip or a hearty soup such as Cabbage Chowder.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover sausage and cheese biscuits in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place them on a baking sheet in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 10 minutes, or until warmed through. You can also microwave them for 30 seconds to 1 minute, but they may not retain their crispiness.
