2 16 oz cans big flaky biscuits [i.e. 8 count Grands! Big Flaky Buttermilk Biscuits]
1 16 oz package sage flavored sausage
1 8 oz block cream cheese
5 Tbsp pure maple syrup plus additional for dipping
1 large egg beaten

Brown the sausage in a large skillet over medium-high heat for 8 minutes or until no pink remains. Drain excess fat from the pan.
Add cream cheese and cook just until the cheese is melted and mixed through.
Stir in maple syrup mixing until well blended. Use immediately, or chill overnight.
To assemble: Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
Cut each biscuit into two pieces through the middle and flatten each half into a 3 inch circle.
Place one Tbsp of sausage mixture into the center and fold the dough over the filling. Crimp the edges with a pastry wheel or fork.
Using a pastry brush, brush each biscuit with beaten egg. Arrange on the baking sheet leaving 2 inches between.
Bake for 15-18 minutes or until puffy and golden.
Serve with additional warm maple syrup for dipping.
