Ingredients
- 1 pound bulk breakfast sausage
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 cups milk
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 4 Buttermilk Biscuits, recipe follows
- 4 slices American cheese
- 4 hash brown patties, cooked according to package instructions
- 4 fried eggs
- Chopped fresh chives, for garnish
- Nonstick cooking spray, for the baking sheet
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose four, plus more for dusting
- 12 tablespoons (1 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter, 1 stick cubed and chilled and 1/2 stick at room temperature
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 cup buttermilk
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- For the sausage gravy: In a large skillet, cook the sausage over medium heat, breaking it up with a wooden spoon into crumbles until cooked through, 8 to 10 minutes. Stir in the flour and cook about 2 minutes over medium-low heat. Whisk in the milk and cook until the sauce begins to thicken. Season with salt and pepper.
- For the eggs: Cut each Biscuit in half and place the bottom halves on a baking sheet. Place a slice of American cheese on each bottom half, then bake just until the cheese is melted, 5 to 8 minutes. Top each with a hash brown patty, a generous spoonful of sausage gravy, one egg and the chives. Top each with the remaining biscuit half and serve warm.
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Grease a baking sheet.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and the chilled, cubed butter. Using a pastry blender, cut the butter into the flour until it resembles a coarse meal. Stir in the baking powder, salt, sugar, and baking soda. Form a well in the center of the flour and pour in the buttermilk. Mix with a fork until all of the ingredients are incorporated and the dough begins to shape into a ball. (The dough will be slightly dry.)
- Dust a clean work surface with flour, then coat your palms and rub some flour on a rolling pin. Turn out the dough on the work surface. Knead the dough for 1 to 2 minutes, folding it over onto itself each time. Roll the dough to about 1/2-inch thick. Dip a 3-inch biscuit cutter or the rim of a 3-inch-wide glass in flour, then cut out the biscuits. Reshape the leftover dough into a ball, roll it out again, and cut out more biscuits. Repeat this process until the dough is gone.
- Place the biscuits on the baking sheet and bake until the tops are golden brown, 10 to 12 minutes. While the biscuits are still hot, brush some of the remaining butter on each biscuit.

Oh my stars! These are the best biscuits I have ever made, and I have made tons. Just made the biscuits this time to try out the recipe. Crispy on the bottom and light and flaky in the middle. Thanks for the recipe from your WVA grandmother! She rocks! Next time will make the entire dish. Also, my dough was wet so it took more flour on the board while kneading. Also, had to bake mine for 16 minutes to get them brown on top. Cooked on middle rack of oven.
Watched Katie make this when we were hungry. LOL. I made Bisquick based cut biscuits (I cut in a little extra butter and use half n’half). I had cheddar for my Benedict and my husband had American. Both cheeses tasted amazing. The whole dish was easy and great! I have Southern family coming for Christmas, and we plan to make this. They will love it!!!!!! And…it fill everyone up til dinner time! Thanks, Katie!!!!
We gave this recipe a try and so glad we did. Super yummy!
As I said earlier, this dish is amazing, but do not plan lunch, or a big dinner, as it is very filling
Made these for New Years Day! A great treat for bringing in the new year! I cheated and used canned bisquits.
Great recipe! Family loved this!
Great combination of flavors all in one bite Katie! I poached the eggs and hit it all with a dash of Tabasco, a home run breakfast item! Thanks!
