Tasty little sausage patties nestled in delicious grain-free biscuits!
Thinking about a fun way to wake-up the sleepy heads in my home, I decided to combine a favorite classic into a ready-made breakfast sandwich that can easily be enjoyed at the table {or for busy mornings, as breakfast on-the-run}!
The beauty of these adorable little Sausage Biscuit Nests is you can make them using any homemade biscuit dough you fancy! Of course, we’re partial to my popular Almond Flour Biscuits.
Another plus is that they freeze well! So when the crazy back-to-school season arrives, you can bet I’ll be assembling these in bulk and freezing the uncooked nests for future breakfasts. {Just thaw overnight in the fridge and bake in the oven as directed in the recipe below.}
If your family enjoys sausage biscuits, they’re certain to find this ready-to-pop-in-your-mouth version even more fun (and delicious)!
How to Make Sausage Biscuit Nests …
Two ingredients is all that’s required – homemade biscuit dough and fully-cooked sausage patties. Then, follow the simple steps below to assemble and bake these adorable little Sausage Biscuit Nests for a perfectly tasty {and healthy} breakfast on the go! Yum!
Step One: Make homemade biscuit dough and cook your sausage patties!
The key to making flavorful {and healthy} Sausage Biscuit Nests is using homemade whole food ingredients! As shown in the photos, I love using my scrumptious Almond Flour Biscuit dough from my published cookbook. It’s one of the most popular recipes on the blog. However, you can use any homemade biscuit dough you’d like with great results!
And when it comes to sensational sausage patties, if you haven’t tried my easy Turkey Breakfast Sausage Patties yet, I highly recommend cooking some up. They’re so flavorful and satisfying, I promise your family will love them! {They’re my kids favorite!}
Step Two: Place and press a fully-cooked sausage patty into the center of each biscuit!
It’s important to use fully-cooked sausage patties, as the short time in the oven to cook the biscuits does not allow enough time to cook raw sausage. (Also the excess fat released from the sausage patties during the cooking process would make for a very soggy biscuit.)
Once you’ve cooked your sausage patties (or if using pre-packaged fully-cooked patties), make sure to bring them to room temperature. Also, be sure to use a paper towel to dab off any excess moistness. Then place one fully-cooked sausage patty into the center of each uncooked biscuit dough round, and gentle press them down into the dough, as shown above.
Step Three: Nestle the biscuit dough around the sausage patties
Once you’ve placed and pressed the fully-cooked sausage patties into the biscuit dough, it’s time to nestle the dough around the sausages. Simply use your hands to shape the dough around the sausages.
Step Four: Bake & enjoy!
Bake the Sausage Biscuit Nests according to the instructions in the biscuit recipe you’re using. You may find that you need to bake the biscuits a little longer than the instructions indicate, depending on the biscuit recipe you’re using. You’ll know they’re done when the biscuits are golden brown on top and a toothpick inserted to the side of the sausage patty comes out clean.
Our favorite way to enjoy these tasty little breakfast sandwiches is with a dollop of Homemade Strawberry Preserves, or quick-n-easy Strawberry Chia Seed Jam. The addition of sweet strawberry jam really complements the savory flavors of these hearty sausage biscuits!
Are both the sausage and biscuit uncooked before combining them and cooking in the oven?
Great question! I definitely wasn’t clear on the sausage patties. Those should be fully-cooked. I will go back into the post and clarify that. As far as the biscuits, those are not cooked when you combine them with the cooked sausage patties, as shown in the photos. Thanks for point this out so I can clarify, as I’m sure others will have the same question! With blessings and appreciation, Kelly 🙂
Hi, so do you use meat patties already cooked? Or raw? Thanks
Good catch, Megan! I definitely wasn’t clear on the sausage patties. Those should be fully-cooked before placing them into the uncooked biscuit dough. Thanks for point this out so I can clarify with a quick edit to the post, as I’m sure others will have the same question! With blessings and appreciation, Kelly 🙂
I made them this morning and they were excellent! I cooked the frozen Jones pork sausage, substituted maple syrup for honey, heavy cream for coconut milk and olive oil for the butter. I”ll freeze the leftovers. Thanks!
Hi, Jeni! So glad you enjoyed the recipe and that your substitutions worked out well. I love maple syrup with sausage. Great idea to add a little maple flavor! Thanks for taking the time to leave a kind note! 🙂 With blessings, Kelly
This is just genius Kelly! Sheesh! Never though of it but it’s so simple! I will be doing this for the freezer in prep for the first week of school! Love it!

You are so welcome!
Have you ever made these ahead of time and frozen them, by chance?
Hi, Winona. These can be frozen, but it’s important to know that freezing almond flour baked goods will result in a very moist thawed baked good. This isn’t always an issue, but I do like to mention it. I usually store these in the fridge for up to 4 days, if they last that long. (Meaning, my kids usually eat everything in the fridge the next day. LOL!) If you opt to freeze, be sure to thaw in the fridge. And either way, you need to use low heat to reheat – best to use an oven set preheated to 200-225°F and heat about 5-8 minutes. 🙂
