How to make Savory Breakfast Pot Pies with Honey Butter Biscuits

Step 1: Prepare the oven and baking dish.

Savory breakfast pot pie makes every moment feel satisfying. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease six individual oven-safe ramekins or a 9×13 inch baking dish.

Step 2: Cook the sausage and vegetables.

In a large skillet, brown the ground sausage over medium heat. Drain off any excess grease. Add the onion, bell pepper, and mushrooms to the skillet and cook until softened, about 5-7 minutes.

Step 3: Make the creamy sauce.

Sprinkle the flour over the sausage and vegetable mixture. Cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly. Gradually whisk in the milk until smooth. Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat and cook for 5 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened. Season with salt and pepper. Stir in the cheddar cheese until melted.

Chef’s Tip: Make sure to whisk the milk in gradually to avoid any lumps in the sauce.

Step 4: Assemble the pot pies.

Divide the sausage mixture evenly among the prepared ramekins or pour into the baking dish.

Step 5: Prepare the honey butter.

While the filling is simmering, prepare the honey butter. In a small bowl, combine the softened butter and honey. Stir until smooth and creamy. Add chives if desired. This creamy butter adds the perfect amount of richness.

Step 6: Top with honey butter biscuits.

Cut each biscuit in half horizontally. Spread each half with honey butter. Place the biscuit halves, honey-butter-side up, on top of the sausage mixture in the ramekins or baking dish.

Step 7: Bake the pot pies.

Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and the filling is bubbly.

Step 8: Cool and serve.

Let cool slightly before serving. Garnish with fresh chives, if desired.

Tips for Success

* Don’t overcook the sausage, as it will continue to cook in the oven.
* Use room-temperature butter for the honey butter to ensure it mixes smoothly.
* If using a baking dish, make sure it is deep enough to hold the filling and the biscuits.
* Keep an eye on the biscuits while they are baking to prevent them from burning.

Serving Suggestions

Serve these savory breakfast pot pies with a side of fresh fruit, such as berries or melon, for a complete and balanced meal. A light salad can also complement the richness of the pot pies. For a beverage pairing, consider a glass of orange juice, coffee, or tea.
