When we first arrived in Tennessee (pre-keto), my husband and I got hooked on these little tasty breakfast bites made by Tennessee Pride.
They truly are a Southern breakfast in a single bite. You’ve got the breakfast sausage, the biscuit, and cheddar cheese all in one delicious little mouthful that you can easily dip into the breakfast gravy. Great for a quick breakfast on the go, or when you don’t feel like making all the separate components and messing up your kitchen on a weekend morning. Hubby and I usually eat them with some scrambled eggs and a side of our keto breakfast gravy.
Faith Rose loves them with Fried eggs and bacon. (She just told me to write that!)
As far as Faith is concerned, bacon is her go to side dish for EVERY meal.
In the original recipe, you combine 1 pound of breakfast sausage, cheddar cheese and some bisquick baking mix together, but obviously on the Keto Way Of Eating, the biscuit mix is a NO-GO. However, as per usual, with a bit of keto ingenuity, we have worked a way around it. And to be honest, these actually surpassed our expectations, and are lighter and fluffier than the original.
“The great thing about these is that you can whip up a batch in a jiffy, cook how ever many you need, and freeze the rest for another time. Or even make up a large batch just to portion and freeze for the rest of the week, and pull them out as you need them.
Great for the soccer moms on the go, or for a quick breakfast the kids can take and eat in the car.”

Hi! I have a question… For the biscuit mix portion, do we add the cold butter as well or is it supposed to be just the dry ingredients? Thanks!

Hi Rita
Yes you still add the cold butter. Just leave out the “buttermilk substitute”.
You’re going to love these!!

The butter/lard is not written in the recipe. I imagine that it is added when the sausage is added?

It has been rectified on the recipe now. It’s meant to say add cheese to the biscuit mix.
So the biscuit mix already has the lard cut in. Then add your sausage and egg after.

What temp is the oven set for? Thanks

350F. for some reason it was in the ingredients list and not the instructions.
