Biscuits with Red Curry Sausage Gravy
Adding red curry paste to a biscuits and sausage gravy recipe adds such a unique flavor to the classic country breakfast dish. I loved how these came out, and could eat them for brunch every weekend. The spicy deep flavors in the red curry add a lot of dimension to the sausage gravy. I need an egg on my biscuits and gravy so you know I added a perfectly over easy egg on top.
The inspiration for this recipe
Biscuits and gravy is one of my favorite foods, and I was craving it hard! As usual, I was looking for a fun way to do something different with it. I had a jar of red curry paste that was quickly loosing it’s flavor in the fridge, and I realized that would be a perfect match. You could practically just add red curry paste to the traditional recipe and be done with it! I decided to also swap out the milk and cream in the gravy and biscuits with coconut milk to match the curry flavors, and I used basil instead of parsley to finish things off. The rest followed classic biscuits and gravy guidelines!
Make the biscuits
Making biscuits is one of my favorite things to do in the kitchen. I follow Virginia Willis’s recipe. I swapped out the milk with coconut milk to match the red curry flavors.
Make the red curry sausage gravy
Sausage in the pan with the curry paste, then you add butter and flour to form the base of the gravy.
After the flour, coconut milk goes in, then add some basil to finish it off.
Serve the biscuits with red curry sausage gravy
Split a biscuit and smother the red curry gravy on top. Make sure you get plenty of sausage in every scoop! Then add the egg and basil.
Amazing! Tastes like the classic biscuits and gravy but with a great new red curry twist.
The perfectly flaky biscuits are key to a good biscuit and gravy, so make sure you take care when making them! That’s why I love this recipe, it never fails me.
