Ingredients

For the Biscuits

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour (240 g)
  • 1 Tbsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup cold unsalted butter, cubed (113 g)
  • 3/4 cup cold buttermilk (180 mL)

For the Filling

  • 6 breakfast sausage patties
  • 6 large eggs
  • 6 slices cheddar cheese
  • 1 Tbsp butter
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl.
  3. Cut the cold butter into the flour mixture until coarse crumbs form, then gently stir in the buttermilk until a shaggy dough comes together.
  4. Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface, gently fold it a few times, then pat it about 1 inch thick.
  5. Cut the dough into 6 round biscuits and arrange them on the prepared baking sheet.
  6. Bake for 12–15 minutes, until the biscuits are tall and golden brown.
  7. Cook the sausage patties in a skillet over medium heat until browned and cooked through, then set aside.
  8. Melt the butter in the skillet and cook the eggs until the whites are set and the yolks reach your preferred doneness. Season with salt and black pepper.
  9. Split each warm biscuit and layer the bottom half with a sausage patty, cooked egg, and slice of cheddar cheese.
  10. Add the biscuit tops and serve warm while the cheese is melted.
