Ingredients
  

1 cup all-purpose flour

1 tablespoon baking powder

½ teaspoon salt

¼ cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed

½ cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese

1/2 cup milk

1 pound breakfast sausage, crumbled and cooked

1 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)

1 teaspoon dried parsley (optional)

1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)

Freshly cracked black pepper (to taste)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

    Prepare the Biscuit Dough: In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt. Add the cubed cold butter and, using a pastry cutter or your fingertips, work it into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

      Add Cheese and Liquid: Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese. Slowly add the milk, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; it's okay if there are some lumps.

        Form the Biscuits: Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and gently knead it a few times until cohesive. Pat the dough into a rectangle about 1 inch thick. Cut 2-inch circles using a biscuit cutter or drinking glass. Re-roll any scraps to make more biscuits.

          Cook the Sausage: If you haven't already done so, cook the breakfast sausage in a skillet over medium heat until browned and fully cooked. If desired, add garlic powder and parsley for extra flavor. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.

            Assemble the Melts: Place half of the biscuit circles on the prepared baking sheet. Top each with a spoonful of cooked sausage (about 1 tablespoon), followed by another biscuit circle. Press down lightly to seal.

              Brush with Egg Wash: Brush the tops of the assembled biscuit melts with the beaten egg for a beautiful golden finish.

                Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and cooked through.

                  Final Touch: Once out of the oven, season with freshly cracked black pepper to taste. Let them cool for a few minutes before serving.

                    Serve & Enjoy: These delightful Mini Sausage Cheddar Biscuit Melts are perfect for breakfast, brunch, or a snack! Pair them with your favorite dipping sauce or enjoy them plain.
