A cheesy, savory biscuit you can enjoy any meal

Loaded with flavor, these cheesy biscuits are packed with sausage so you can enjoy them as a grab-and-go breakfast or serve alongside your meal.
If you love breakfast biscuits, you’ll love these cheddar biscuits too. Each one is filled with gooey cheddar cheese and savory bits of sausage.
These savory biscuits are just as delicious to eat and convenient to make. This recipe requires a few simple ingredients, takes about 5 minutes of prep and is freezer safe! So you can easily prep these ahead of time to enjoy throughout the week.
Even better? Similar to my sausage balls, they’re flavorful, kid-friendly, and versatile. They’re great for busy mornings when you need something quick to heat up, or you can pack them in a lunchbox for a delicious low-carb snack or lunch.
How to make sausage cheddar biscuits
- Make the biscuit batter – Whisk together eggs, butter, salt and cream cheese. Then stir in coconut flour and baking powder.
- Add fillings for the biscuits – Stir in cooked sausage and cheddar cheese.
- Scoop and bake on a baking tray at 375 degrees for 15-18 minutes.
Key ingredients
- Coconut flour – I use coconut flour because it absorbs liquid from the eggs really well. If you don’t like the flavor of coconut flour, rest assured, the cream cheese and egg help mask the coconut flavor.
- Sausage – Cooked sausage adds flavor, protein and fat. You can omit it if you want just a simple cheddar biscuit. I’ve also made these with Italian sausage and sage sausage.
- Cheddar cheese – My go-to for flavor.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many carbs are in these keto biscuits?
The net carbs for these biscuits is .8g. This is less than 1g of net carb per biscuit. Total carbs is 1.5g of carbs.
Are they sausage biscuits gluten-free?
Yes, these sausage biscuits are gluten-free. I use coconut flour instead of wheat flour, so there's no gluten.
Can I cook these biscuits in the air fryer?
Hmm... I have not experimented with baking these in the air fryer. I have reheated in the air fryer with great success!
Baking these for the first time today. Love the YouTube channel too. It’s been helping with the rush after work to finish dinner. How many total biscuits does this make? I got like 10 but the phot showed 6 so I’m worried I make them too small?
It depends on how big you make them and then adjust the macros from there.
I watch your YouTube channel from my iPad. The pop up ads and the java script to print the recipe make it a real PIA to print recipe. Is it possible to make a simple button to print the recipe without all the bells and whistles. Ty. No, I’m not very tech savvy ?
Not sure what you are referring to. There are no pop up ads on this website. It pops up the print preview to print that document and that's all. You can't get any easier than that.
I made the Sausage Cheddar Biscuits yesterday. YUM! Easy recipe. I did find that my batter was more running than yours but I'll adjust a bit on my measurements the next time I make them. I wrapped them individually and froze them for next week(s) quick grab 'n go meals. I will definitely be adding this to my recipe rotation.
You can try increasing the coconut flour too.
Hi
First try...they came out sort of like chocolate chip cookies..they flattened rather than raised?? Was i suppose to drain the sausage? Did I not add quite enuff baking powder...what did I do wrong? PS they look weird, but are very tasty
It might depend on the fat percentage of the sausage. You can try adding more coconut flour next time.
I just stumbled across your channel & website and am LOVING it! My daughter is highly allergic to all things coconut. Can it be substituted with something else? Almond flour maybe?
I haven't tried it with almond flour, but it should work. I would suggest using 1 cup to 1 1/4 cups of almond flour
I am New to keto and loved this recipe! Super easy and yummy. May add some jalapeños next time :)
They are delicious. I just drained on paper towels. Thank you for all of your hard work in presenting wonderful recipes.
I’m cooking these now. Followed directions specifically, but as I’m looking at the through oven door and they’re almost done, they seem to be swimming in melted butter. Is this normal?
The sausage may have had a lot of fat in it. Mine are usually a little greasy on the bottom but not that much.
This was a knock my socks off total winner! I’ve tried a few recipes lately from other keto sites and got discouraged... keep up the yummy recipes!
My husband and I love this recipe. They taste so good. Great recipe!!!
We just made these for the first time and they are yummy! They turned out perfect. We followed the recipe but used a cheese blend instead of all cheddar. We really look forward to having them for a grab and go breakfast the rest of this week. ♡
Your recipes are consistently delish and easy to follow. This is a family favorite. I greatly appreciate what you do. I also love the keto granola. It satisfies my cereal craving. I have it with unsweetened almond/coconut milk and a few blueberries. Keep it coming!
Is a serving one biscuit or two? It shows 2 on the plate? Thank you!
A serving is one biscuit.
I just discovered your YouTube channel! This is a life saver for me and my husband as we get back on our Keto journey after including too many unhealthy non-keto foods during the holidays. We both love your KetoFocus postings, they are packed with practical information and we love your recipes. I’ve discovered new foods to include, such as macadamia milk, and remembered ones that we used to use regularly. I really liked your walk through your fridge. A video on coming along on one of your shopping trips would be great.
Your recipe for enchiladas using sliced deli chicken opened up a whole new bunch of ideas.
As for your breakfast biscuits, mmmmm good. I’ve already included chopped crispy bacon. Also ham, pepperoni or shrimp might be good. Have you tried crab meat in these? We live in the Pacific Northwest and would love seafood recipes, especially chowders. And as many soup recipes as you can create!
New loyal fans,
Bill and Connie
Thanks Bill and Connie! I'm glad you are enjoying the YouTube channel and recipes. I will have more soup recipes coming out this weekend as well as a clam chowder recipe in the next few months.
I am limited to 19 carbs a day and am not allowed to use "net carbs". Do we always figure actual carbs by adding protein to "net carb" amount in your recipes. Wish you could put full carbs somewhere. I love your recipes, but many have too many carbs for me.
I am working on adding total carbs to all of my recipes. until then, you can comment on each one you want to make asking the total carbs and I will reply back. Total carbs for one biscuit is 1.5 grams.
Not using net carbs is ridiculous…fiber doesn’t affect your blood glucose at all.
