Spicy Sausage and Biscuit Sandwich
During the busy work week, my typical breakfast consists of oatmeal, toast, or anything quick and easy! Whenever we have a lazy Saturday, though, we enjoy cooking a big breakfast. One of my favorite breakfast dishes are my lemon blueberry pancakes!
We recently tried a spicy, cheesy twist on a sausage and biscuit sandwich that is delicious. It's based on a Pioneer Woman recipe, with a few modifications. The bread for the sandwich is a cheddar biscuit seasoned with cayenne - yum! These were my first attempt at making biscuits by scratch on my own, usually my husband takes care of the biscuits. It's another recipe I can mark off of my recipe bucket list!
The sandwiches have the flavor kicked up another notch by seasoning the sausage patties with cayenne.
