Ingredients
  

1 ½ cups all-purpose flour

1 tablespoon baking powder

½ teaspoon salt

¼ teaspoon black pepper

½ cup cold unsalted butter, cubed

1 cup sharp cheddar cheese, shredded

½ cup milk

1 pound breakfast sausage, fully cooked and crumbled

1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)

Additional shredded cheddar cheese (for topping)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C). Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper to prevent sticking.

    Prepare the Biscuit Dough: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and black pepper, ensuring these dry ingredients are well combined. Add the cold cubed unsalted butter into the bowl. Using a pastry cutter or your fingertips, mix it in until the mixture mimics coarse crumbs – this will give your biscuits a flaky texture.

      Incorporate Cheese: Add the shredded sharp cheddar cheese to the dough. Use a spatula or wooden spoon to gently fold the cheese through the mixture, ensuring an even distribution throughout.

        Add Milk: Gradually pour in the milk, mixing gently until the dough just comes together. Take care not to overmix; a few lumps are perfectly fine, as overworking can lead to tough biscuits.

          Combine Sausage: With a spatula, fold in the crumbled breakfast sausage into the dough until it is equally dispersed. The sausage adds great flavor and heartiness to the biscuits.

            Shape the Biscuits: Lightly flour your work surface and turn the dough out onto it. Knead the dough a few times until it holds together - be gentle to keep it light. Roll out the dough to about ½ inch thickness for good rise. Use a round biscuit cutter, roughly 2 inches in diameter, to cut out biscuits. Arrange them neatly on your prepared baking sheet.

              Egg Wash: Take the beaten egg and brush it over the tops of the biscuits; this glaze will create a lovely golden finish once baked.

                Add Extra Cheese: For an extra cheesy delight, generously sprinkle additional shredded cheddar cheese over the tops of each biscuit before baking.

                  Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes. Look for a golden brown color and a puffed-up appearance to know that they are done.

                    Serve: Once baked, remove from the oven and allow them to cool slightly on the tray. These biscuit melts are best served warm, making for a delightful appetizer or snack that’s sure to impress!
