Ingredients
- 1 can (8-count) Southern Homestyle Buttermilk Biscuits (not flaky)
- 1½ cups shredded mild cheddar cheese
- 1 cup scrambled eggs, prepared to your liking (about 4–5 large eggs)
- 8 pre-cooked beef sausage links, chopped (approximately 1 cup)
- ¼ cup (½ stick) unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
Optional Garnish:
- Fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare Your Work Area
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 12-inch oven-safe skillet or a 9×13-inch baking dish with nonstick spray. This ensures that the Breakfast Bombs will bake evenly and won’t stick to the pan.
Step 2: Roll Out the Biscuits
Open the can of biscuits and separate each one. On a clean, floured surface, use a rolling pin to flatten each biscuit into a thin circle, about ⅛-inch thick. This step gives you plenty of room to stuff the biscuit with delicious fillings.
Step 3: Assemble the Breakfast Bombs
In the center of each biscuit, add a heaping tablespoon of shredded cheddar cheese. Follow that with a generous spoonful of scrambled eggs and a sprinkle of chopped sausage. Be careful not to overfill, as this will make it harder to seal the dough.
Step 4: Seal the Bombs
Bring the edges of the biscuit dough up and over the filling, pinching the seams tightly to seal. Roll the bomb gently between your hands to form a smooth ball, ensuring no filling can escape. Place the sealed balls seam-side down in your prepared skillet or baking dish.
Step 5: Brush with Butter
In a small bowl, mix the melted butter and kosher salt. Brush half of this mixture generously over the tops of the assembled bombs. The salted butter will give them a golden, flavorful crust during baking.
Step 6: Bake to Perfection
Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 20–23 minutes, or until the tops of the bombs are golden brown and puffed. The irresistible aroma of buttery biscuits will fill your kitchen as they bake.
Step 7: Finish and Serve
Remove the bombs from the oven and immediately brush them with the remaining salted butter. Sprinkle freshly chopped parsley over the tops for a pop of color and freshness. Serve warm and watch as your family devours these gooey, cheesy delights!
