These are genuinely make-ahead friendly, a juicy sausage patty tucked between two buttered biscuit halves, ready to grab whenever mornings get busy.

Do not overmix the biscuit dough. Stir just until combined, or the biscuits turn out hard instead of flaky.

Chef Jenn’s Take on Breakfast Sandwiches with Sausage

Do not overmix the biscuit dough once the almond flour goes in. Stir just until everything is combined, or the biscuits turn out hard instead of flaky.

Chill the dough for about 30 minutes, it makes the sticky almond flour dough much easier to handle and cut. Pat it out to about half an inch thick and cut into 8 rounds with a cookie cutter, or even a mason jar in a pinch. Bake on parchment paper, and let the biscuits cool before slicing them in half, cutting them warm tends to squish them flat. Check your sausage label for starchy fillers while you are at it.

No sausage on hand? Fill the biscuits with fried egg, bacon, and more cheese instead. Mix up the cheese in the biscuits too, pepper jack, colby, or gouda all work well in place of cheddar. A sprinkle of shredded cheese on top before baking adds a nice extra touch if you want to dress these up a bit.
