Sometimes breakfast biscuits are so good, they make you forget everything else on the plate. But when those golden, buttery biscuits become the foundation for something even better: our Chipotle Hummus Sausage Breakfast Sandwich—they’re promoted from sidekick to star of the show. Each bite is flaky, rich, and built to cradle bold flavor.

That chipotle hummus? It’s the secret twist that takes this sandwich from classic to unforgettable. Smoky heat meets creamy texture, spreading a subtle kick of spice that dances perfectly with the warm biscuit and savory fillings. It’s the kind of heat that wakes you up—without needing a second cup of coffee.

Andouille sausage, with its unmistakable Cajun snap, brings the sizzle. It’s the kind of protein that refuses to blend in by adding its own smoky charm and meaty bite that balances beautifully with the soft biscuit and creamy hummus. It’s bold, a little spicy, and exactly what your breakfast routine didn’t know it needed.

They say breakfast is the most important meal of the day—and this one proves it. Fire up your oven, let those biscuits rise, and watch as your kitchen fills with that irresistible morning aroma. Warm biscuits, smoky sausage, and chipotle spice...it’s a symphony of savory satisfaction that will make you want to slow down and savor every bite.

Foodness Fun - Facts

Did you know the word biscuit comes from the Latin bis coctus, meaning “twice cooked”? Back then, it referred to hard, twice-baked bread and was nothing like the soft, buttery ones we bake today. Let’s just say we’ve evolved deliciously.

And here’s a spicy little tidbit: chipotle peppers are actually smoked jalapeños. That deep, earthy heat in your hummus? All thanks to a little time over an open flame.

Lastly, if you’re hosting that zero-waste dinner party, here’s a fun idea…use biscuit cutters or cookie rings to make reusable napkin holders. It’s a conversation starter and a creative way to repurpose tools you already have!
