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

½ 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: Set your oven to preheat at 425°F (220°C). While the oven heats, line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.

    Prepare the Biscuit Dough: In a spacious mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Add the cold, cubed butter, and using a pastry cutter or your fingertips, blend it into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs, with small chunks of butter still visible.

      Add Cheese and Liquid: Gently fold in the shredded sharp cheddar cheese. Gradually incorporate the milk into the mixture, stirring just until combined. It's important not to overmix—the dough can remain slightly lumpy.

        Form the Biscuits: Lightly flour a clean surface, turn out the dough, and knead it gently just a few times until it comes together. Pat the dough into a rectangle about 1 inch thick. Use a 2-inch biscuit cutter or a drinking glass to cut out circles. Gather any scraps, reroll, and cut more circles.

          Cook the Sausage: If the breakfast sausage isn’t pre-cooked, pan-fry it in a skillet over medium heat until it’s nicely browned and fully cooked through. For an extra flavor boost, mix in garlic powder and parsley during the cooking process. Once done, remove from the skillet and allow it to cool slightly.

            Assemble the Melts: On the prepared baking sheet, place half of the biscuit circles. Top each circle with about a tablespoon of cooked sausage, then place another biscuit circle on top. Lightly press down to help seal the sandwich.

              Brush with Egg Wash: For a beautiful golden finish, brush the tops of each assembled biscuit melt with the beaten egg.

                Bake: Transfer the baking sheet to the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the biscuit melts are a lovely golden brown and cooked through.

                  Final Touch: Once baked, sprinkle with freshly cracked black pepper to taste. Allow the mini melts to cool for a few minutes on the baking sheet before serving.

                    Serve & Enjoy: These scrumptious Mini Sausage Cheddar Biscuit Melts are an ideal treat for breakfast, brunch, or a satisfying snack! They pair beautifully with your favorite dipping sauce or can be enjoyed on their own.
