Sausage Egg & Cheese Biscuit with Apple Butter

A Sausage Egg & Cheese Biscuit with Apple Butter is a unique combination of flavors and textures that you'll absolutely love. It's the perfect autumn breakfast with just a touch of sweetness.

Most of the time, the perfect weekend for me is spent in the kitchen. If I have people besides my immediate family to cook for, all the better. I get so excited about food based holidays because it's an excuse for me to show off what I'm good at. I don't play sports. I'm bad at social games. I can't make music. So no, I don't want to play pool or badminton with you. But I do want to make you brunch.

In fact, I might just have to make breakfast foods for my next gathering because they're the absolute best. We rarely get a chance to share them with our friends, though. I say, lets start a revolution and start making breakfast for dinner parties. Lets stop paying £20 of mediocre eggs benedict and instead gather around a friend's table for something much more delicious. Something absolutely made with love. And you can make your mimosas as strong as you want. Let's make it a thing.

What makes a Sausage Egg & Cheese Biscuit with Apple Butter so awesome?

I'd definitely make you these Sausage Egg & Cheese Biscuits with Apple Butter. It's a fluffy buttermilk biscuit, spicy pork sausage, tender scrambled eggs, lots of sharp cheddar cheese, and a surprise touch of tart sweetness with a smear of apple butter. It totally works.

This recipe is inspired by a short-lived Southern restaurant in Honolulu. I've definitely made this using canned biscuits and store bought apple butter. It was still awesome. This time around though, I had to make things from scratch because I live in Scotland and food is different here. It was a bit of a project, but it's totally doable for a weekend breakfast this awesome.

How to make a Sausage Egg & Cheese Biscuit with Apple Butter

First, bake up some biscuits. Use canned biscuits, biscuit mix, or make your own using your favorite recipe. I went with these self-rising biscuits. While those are in the oven, you can cook up your sausage patties. Here in the UK, I used Cumberland sausage and removed them from their casings and squished them into little discs. If you want to make it taste a little more American, mix the sausage up with some cumin and crushed red pepper flakes first. If I was in the US, I'd use Jimmy Dean Hot.

In the same pan you cooked your sausage in, you can make your scrambled eggs. The key is to keep stirring and turn the heat of before the eggs are totally set. As Alton Brown always says, if your eggs are fully cooked in the pan, they'll be overcooked on the plate.

You should already have apple butter ready to go, so if you need to make this yourself as well, do it the day before. You'll also need some grated cheddar cheese.

Then all that's left to do is assemble. Split open a biscuit, spread some apple butter on each side, add a sausage patty, a scoop of eggs, and a fat pinch of cheese before putting the top on. This is a knife and fork situation, kids. I highly doubt you'll be able to pick this up and eat it as an actual sandwich.

Magickal properties of baking soda

I was pleasantly surprised to find that something like baking soda has uses in witchcraft and paganism. It's an absolutely indispensible tool for the home baker, and I've used it in homemade cleaning products, but now I can use it in my craft as well.

Baking soda has banishing and protection qualities, just like salt. Add it to bath spells to cleanse you of negativity. Sprinkle some into the shoes of unwanted guests to encourage them to move along (and it will help remove odors from their shoes). Use it to naturally cleanse your altar tools. And of course, use it to remove negativity when you add it to your baking. (Source: Witchy Resources)
