My baking lately has been focused on sweets and seriously lacking in the savory department. To remedy this, I found a simple savory breakfast idea from Try It You Might Like It: sausage cheddar biscuits. The original recipe suggested using Trader Joe’s buttermilk biscuits, which I thought was interesting. I was under the impression that all refrigerated tube biscuits tasted the same. However, the Trader Joe’s biscuit dough had a different texture than I was expecting, so maybe that’s why they were recommended.
Anyway, I made mini biscuit “bites” by taking one large biscuit, cutting it into thirds, and flattening the thirds into the wells of a mini muffin pan. These breakfast bites tasted really delicious! The Trader Joe’s buttermilk biscuit was rather tasty and held up well against the savory sausage and gooey cheddar cheese topping. And since these bites were miniature, they weren’t as messy as the large biscuit would’ve been. Now I’m wondering how this recipe would taste with ham and Swiss cheese…

These little morsels look delicious! Would love to to try this only I would have to make my own dough.

I have made these about 50 times at my house because they are such a favorite. Glad you found them on Janna’s site. Did you notice I had like four comments on that one post? These really are so easy and yummy. Yours look fantastic!

I vote for ham and swiss for morning drive time folks this week. Curious to hear their opinions, but I’m sure these turned out great: your skills plus smoked pork products and cheese – hard to go wrong.

Looks delicious for sure, esp with that melted cheese
Oct 23, 2011 @ 09:24:38
Looks like a very yummy and filling breakfast!
Oct 23, 2011 @ 09:31:18
Now this is my kind of breakfast!!!! YUM!
Oct 23, 2011 @ 09:44:59
Oh my, this looks delicious! I would love to have this for breakfast, would be swell with a cup of hot black coffee!
Oct 23, 2011 @ 09:46:09
Yummy……. cute mini treat!
Oct 23, 2011 @ 09:59:54
I started eating biscuits, particularly ham or sausage biscuits, when we lived in the South and they are still my favorite breakfast food. I would love some of these right now since I haven’t had breakfast yet. I will pick up some buttermilk biscuits the next time I go to Trader Joe’s and try this recipe. Thanks for sharing it!

These look like the sausage balls that are so popular down here. Yum!
Oct 23, 2011 @ 10:09:50
Trader Joe’s is one of my favorite places to shop. I have never tried their refrigerated biscuits but I will now. These look like such a nice breakfast treat.
Oct 23, 2011 @ 10:25:51
I wonder if the texture would change a whole lot if you make your own biscuit batter? … I never knew that Trader Joe’s had a tube biscuits!!
I bet some chives would taste good!
Oct 23, 2011 @ 11:34:41
OH YES PLEASE! I loooooove savory breakfast biscuits. Toss in some cheese and meat and then make them mini…it’s like an early Christmas
Oct 23, 2011 @ 12:28:27
Oh, now these look like little bites from heaven. Positively sinful (wait a minute, that may be a contradiction in terms
). Love the combo of cheese and sausage – especially spicy sausage!!
Oct 23, 2011 @ 13:18:22
I’m definitely making these next weekend. I adore biscuits.
Oct 23, 2011 @ 14:00:46
I am always conflicted – do I want savory or sweet breakfast/brunch? Savory usually wins and this is why!
Oct 23, 2011 @ 14:09:14
fun would be great for brunch
Oct 23, 2011 @ 14:12:57
They do look tasty, i love cheese and sausage being a savory girl myself! c
Oct 23, 2011 @ 14:39:28
Very delicious, I enjoyed having something new for breakfast.
Oct 23, 2011 @ 15:39:36
That looks so yummy!
Oct 23, 2011 @ 17:30:53

Oct 23, 2011 @ 22:23:36
Awww…No Trader Joe’s near me. These little bites look really good though- I’d love these for breakfast or a snack!
Oct 23, 2011 @ 23:09:49
These look so delicious!! Ham and swiss cheese would be perfect too I’m sure!
Oct 23, 2011 @ 23:38:16
Oh my…these would be great for breakfast. I was just thinking about doing something special this weekend…a granddaughter’s birthday…she would love these. She wants me to cook with her all day.
Oct 24, 2011 @ 00:41:21
lovin’ these easy breakfast eats!
Oct 24, 2011 @ 05:36:51
Anything so eat to do is right up my alley! I think I will have this at tea time!

These look very tasty!
Oct 24, 2011 @ 05:56:34
Mmmmm…these look incredible!!! Simple to make, yet full of deliciousness….perfect for a brunch, too~
Oct 24, 2011 @ 08:34:32
these look delicious. We make something similar for the holidays but I love your version more- seriously I do. I might have to mix things up a bit this holiday and make your recipe instead
Oct 24, 2011 @ 14:21:42
I could make this with faux sausage. Looks great, thanks! Miriam@Meatless Meals For Meat Eaters
Oct 24, 2011 @ 14:53:41
That sounds tasty.
Oct 24, 2011 @ 15:38:12
These biscuits sound awesome! I, for one, don’t mind your baking being focused on sweets. I have a serious sweet tooth.
Oct 24, 2011 @ 18:19:32
I like the looks of these, how about making one’s own biscuits, but then again why not cheat once in awhile. I am going to save this page and try and I made my first visit to Trader Joes just recently, interesting store way different then I had imagined. thanks, andi
Oct 24, 2011 @ 18:57:46
I always forget about baking savory things…and then I end up with way too many sweets. These look great. Thank you for sharing.
Oct 24, 2011 @ 19:12:16
Oh! These little bites are perfect for breakfast!
Hope you have a great week ahead and thanks for such a yummie recipe
Oct 24, 2011 @ 19:20:16
Looks soo yummy..these mini treats looks so cute with that yellow hue from cheese !
Oct 24, 2011 @ 22:30:07
Yum! I love almost anything with sausage and these look so good. Wish I had a Trader Joe’s closer.
Oct 25, 2011 @ 05:28:01
I can’t wait until the Louisville Trader Joe’s opens THIS Friday! Might have to try this snack =)
Oct 25, 2011 @ 06:17:03
This is going to be a HUGE hit in my house – the new favorite – I can tell!

Oct 25, 2011 @ 07:24:50
Yum. I will have to try those. They look similar to the cheddar sausage mini-muffins I make this time of year. Sort of like sausage balls in mini-muffin pans. My mouth is watering to taste one of yours!!
Oct 25, 2011 @ 07:46:34
Simple and yummy! I’m saving this. We’re getting a Trader Joe’s any day now! Now, I too am wondering how this would taste with ham and cheese?
Oct 25, 2011 @ 08:16:27
perfect for breakfast on the go. I bet they make a great freeze ahead meal!
Oct 25, 2011 @ 13:23:35
Yumm… these are all in one breakfast treats..to go!! I love this idea and they look fantastic!
Oct 25, 2011 @ 21:32:51
These look great and I am vegetarian!!
Oct 26, 2011 @ 13:27:29
I love little breakfast bites! And biscuits paired with cheese and sausage? Yum!!
Oct 26, 2011 @ 22:27:57
These look amazing little bites of gastronomical pleasure! Loved the combination!!
