Beyond flaky, brimming with aged cheddar, ULTIMATE™ sausages and fresh chives, these Breakfast Biscuits are the perfect make-ahead morning snack to keep you fueled up when on the go! We love Maple Lodge's Chicken Breakfast sausages, and whether we're mixing them into a biscuit batter or simply enjoying them fresh out of the pan, we can't get enough!
