Breakfast Sausage & Egg Biscuit Sandwich

Breakfast Sausage & Egg Biscuit

Earlier this week, I was craving a Mcdonald’s breakfast sandwich, but with the recent E.coli concerns, I decided to make my own version at home. This homemade version includes flaky buttermilk biscuits, maple sausage patties, soft scrambled eggs, grilled onions, and a copycat Mcdonald’s breakfast sauce. 

McDonald’s breakfast sauce isn’t my recipe, but I found it on Reddit. Whenever I want to try a copycat sauce from a famous fast food restaurant, I know a goat employee is going to leak the recipe on Reddit. 

Notes:

Biscuits

• Biscuit Substitution: If short on time, canned biscuits work in a pinch.

• Cold Butter: Use cold butter for flaky, airy biscuits.

• Don’t Overwork the Dough: Handle gently to avoid developing too much gluten.

• White Lily Flour: For best results, use White Lily flour.
