This recipe provides all the details necessary for baking light and fluffy biscuits filled with a juicy sausage patty.
Ingredients:
- 54 each Biscuit, 2oz. grain, dough, frozen
- 54 each Sausage, breakfast patty, chicken, turkey or pork, precooked, ready to eat, frozen
- 54 sprays Pan spray, butter flavored
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.

- Cook sausage at 350°F for 8 minutes.
Cook to 135°F or higher.
