For the Sausage Gravy:

For the Filling:

Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Bake the Biscuits:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Spray a baking sheet with cooking spray and arrange the biscuits evenly on the pan.
- Bake the biscuits according to the package instructions, usually about 10–14 minutes, until golden brown.
2. Cook the Sausage Patties:
- Air fryer method: Preheat the air fryer to 375°F. Cook the sausage patties for 8–10 minutes, flipping halfway through.
- Stovetop method: Heat a skillet over medium heat and cook the sausage patties until browned and cooked through, about 3–4 minutes per side.
3. Prepare the Sausage Gravy:
- If using a packaged mix:
- Follow the instructions on the package, usually whisking the mix with 2 cups of milk and cooking over medium heat until thickened.
- For homemade gravy (optional):
- Cook 1/2 pound ground sausage in a skillet until browned.
- Stir in 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour and cook for 1 minute.
- Gradually add 1 1/2 cups milk, stirring constantly, until the gravy thickens.
- Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
4. Assemble the Biscuits:
- Slice each biscuit in half horizontally.
- Place a cooked sausage patty on the bottom half of each biscuit.
- Sprinkle a little shredded cheese on top of the sausage.
- Replace the top half of the biscuit.
5. Finish with Gravy and Cheese:
- Ladle sausage gravy generously over the assembled biscuits.
- Sprinkle more shredded cheese on top for a gooey, melty finish.
6. Serve and Enjoy:
- Serve immediately while warm. Add a side of scrambled eggs or fresh fruit for a complete breakfast.
Pro Tips:
- Customizing Sausage Gravy: For added flavor, mix in a pinch of cayenne, paprika, or thyme.
- Cheese Choices: Swap out cheddar for mozzarella, pepper jack, or gouda for a twist.
- Make-Ahead Option: Prepare the sausage patties and gravy ahead of time and reheat when ready to assemble.
