Ingredients
  

  • cups (300 mL) all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup (250 mL) whole wheat flour
  • 1 tbsp (15 mL) baking powder
  • 2 tsp (10 mL) chopped fresh thyme
  • 1 tsp (5 mL) salt
  • 1/2 tsp (2 mL) pepper
  • 1/2 cup (125 mL) cold butter, cubed, divided
  • 1 cup (250 mL) E.D.SMITH® Apple Pie Filling finely chopped, divided
  • 3/4 cup (150 mL) buttermilk
  • 1 tsp (5 mL) course sea salt
  • 1 lb (500 g) maple breakfast sausages, casing removed
  • 8 eggs
  • 8 slices Cheddar cheese

Directions
 

  • Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line sheet pan with parchment paper.
  • In large bowl, whisk together all-purpose and whole wheat flour, baking powder, thyme, salt and pepper. Cut in 1/3 cup (75 mL) butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  • Stir together half of the apple pie filling and buttermilk; stir into flour mixture until just combined.
  • Turn out dough onto floured surface; knead 2 or 3 times. Press into 1-inch thickness and cut out 8 rounds using 2 1/2-inch (6 cm) cutter. Transfer to prepared pan; sprinkle with salt. Bake for 15 to 18 minutes or until golden.
  • Meanwhile, form sausages into 2 1/2-inch (6 cm) patties. In nonstick skillet set over medium-high heat, cook patties, turning once, for about 5 minutes or until browned and cooked through.
  • Heat half of the remaining butter in large nonstick skillet set over medium heat. Crack in 4 eggs; cook for 3 to 4 minutes or until egg whites are set, and yolks are still runny or cooked as desired. Repeat with remaining eggs and butter.
  • Split biscuits. In small saucepan, warm remaining apple pie filling and spread over biscuits; top with sausage patties and slice of cheese. Top with fried eggs. Serve warm.

Tips

  1. Use your favourite sausages instead of maple breakfast sausages. Turkey sausages are a great option.
