This recipe provides all the details necessary for baking light and fluffy biscuits filled with a juicy sausage patty, cheddar cheese, and honey-black pepper spread.
Ingredients:
- 100 each Biscuit, 2oz. grain, dough, frozen
- 100 each Sausage, breakfast patty, chicken, turkey or pork, precooked, ready to eat, frozen
- 6 lbs + 4 oz Cheese, cheddar, shredded
- 1 lbs Butter, unsalted, melted
- 1 qt + 3 cup Honey
- 1/4 cup Spice, pepper, black, coarse
- 1 1/2 tsp Spice, cinnamon, ground
Steps:
DAY PRIOR TO SERVICE:
- Place sausage patties in an even layer on parchment lined sheet pans sprayed with pan spray.
- Store panned sausage patties, covered, in the cooler overnight to allow sausage to thaw.
Hold at 41°F or below.
Allowing the sausage to thaw the day prior to service shortens the cooking time. The sausage also bakes juicier with better flavor.
BAKING BISCUITS:
- Place frozen biscuit dough, with sides touching on sheet pans lined with parchment paper and sprayed with pan spray.
- Bake biscuits until golden brown at 350°F for 15 -20 minutes.
Each full sheet pan will hold 54 biscuits (6x9).
Keep biscuits frozen until baked.
Biscuits must be cooked the day of service to ensure texture, flavor, and appearance.
SAUSAGE INSTRUCTIONS:
- Cook sausage at 350°F for 8 minutes.
Cook to 135°F or higher.
HONEY BLACK PEPPER SPREAD:
- Combine melted butter, honey, black pepper, and honey in a mixing bowl and whisk until well blended.
This spread will separate once it settles. Whisk before use.
ASSEMBLY AND SERVICE:
- Assemble sausage biscuits by placing one sausage patty 1-ounce of cheddar cheese in each biscuit.
- Finish each biscuit by brushing the Maple-Black Pepper spread on top of the biscuit.
- Wrap biscuits in foil, place in wax bag or place in foil bag for service.
- Hot hold until service.
No bare hand contact with ready to eat food.
It is important to assemble the sausage biscuit for service to meet customer expectations.
