Sausage Breakfast Biscuits - Uncrustable-Style
Sausage Breakfast Biscuits are sealed biscuit sandwiches made with refrigerated biscuit dough, precooked sausage, and cheese. They can be baked in the oven or cooked in an air fryer. What's even better is that they can be made in advance, and refrigerated or frozen for quick, delicious breakfasts.
Servings: 8 breakfast biscuits
Calories: 375kcal
Equipment
- half-sheet pan lined with parchment paper
- 6-inch piece of parchment paper
- Brush for egg wash
Ingredients
- 13 ounce can refrigerated Pillsbury Grands Buttermilk biscuits
- 8 frozen Jimmy Dean Heat 'n Serve sausage patties (See Tip 1)
- 8 slices deli American cheese (See Tip 2)
- Egg wash (1 egg whisked with 1 tablespoon water - optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F. Line a half-sheet pan with parchment paper. Set aside.
- Cut each cheese slice into 4 equal pieces.
- Carefully separate a biscuit in half. Stretch the bottom half into a circle, around 3 ½ inches.
- Place 2 pieces of cheese, the frozen sausage patty, and the remaining 2 pieces of cheese in the middle of the bottom biscuit dough.
- Carefully stretch the top piece of the biscuit to about 3 ½ inches and place it on top of the cheese and sausage. Press the top dough down to cover the cheese and sausage, so that the bottom slightly overlaps the top, and pinch to seal. (See Tips 3 and 4)
- Brush with egg wash.
- Bake in the preheated 375°F oven for 12 to 15 minutes, or in the air fryer at 350°F for 7 to 9 minutes.
- Yield: 8 Sausage Breakfast Biscuits (See Tip 5)

Notes
- The sausage patties should be fully cooked and work best when frozen. The Jimmy Dean sausage patties that I used were 2 inches in diameter, which was the perfect size.
- I also tested this recipe with Colby Jack and sharp cheddar. Both worked well, with the cheddar providing the better taste, at least for me.
- Pinching the dough to seal is more effective than using a fork.
- May be made in advance up to this point and refrigerated for up to 24 hours, or frozen for up to 2 months.
- Reheat in either the oven or air fryer.
