Ingredients
Scale
Biscuits
- 1 can (8-count) Southern Homestyle Buttermilk Biscuits (not flaky)
Filling
- 1½ cups (169.5 g) mild cheddar cheese, shredded, divided
- 1 cup scrambled eggs (prepared with roughly 4–5 eggs depending on size), divided
- 8 precooked sausage links, chopped (about 1 cup), divided
Butter Topping
- ¼ cup (½ stick / 57 g) unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
Garnish
- Fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and spray a 12-inch oven-safe skillet or baking dish with nonstick cooking spray. This prepares your pan to prevent sticking and ensures even baking.
- Prepare Scrambled Eggs: If you have not already made the scrambled eggs, cook them to your desired consistency using about 4-5 eggs to yield roughly 1 cup. Set them aside and divide into portions for assembling the bombs.
- Roll Out Biscuits: Remove each biscuit from the can and place them on a clean work surface. Use a rolling pin to flatten each biscuit to about 1/8-inch thickness, making a thin and pliable dough for easy filling and sealing.
- Add Filling: Top each flattened biscuit with an equal amount of shredded cheddar cheese, leaving some space around the edges. Next, add an equal portion of scrambled eggs, followed by the chopped precooked sausage. Distribute evenly to ensure balanced flavor in every bite.
- Seal Bombs: Using your fingers, carefully pull the edges of each biscuit dough together and pinch them firmly to close, enclosing the filling completely. Place each sealed bomb with the pinched side down into the prepared skillet or baking dish.
- Brush with Butter and Salt: In a small bowl, whisk the melted unsalted butter with kosher salt. Brush half of this salted butter mixture evenly over the tops of the bombs to infuse flavor and promote browning.
- Bake: Place the skillet in the preheated oven and bake the breakfast bombs for 20-23 minutes, or until they are golden brown and cooked through.
- Final Butter Brush and Garnish: Remove the bombs from the oven and immediately brush them with the remaining salted butter mixture. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley for a burst of color and freshness before serving.
Notes
- Use precooked sausage links to reduce cooking time and ensure the sausage is fully cooked before baking.
- Scrambled eggs can be prepared ahead of time and refrigerated until assembling the bombs.
- Be sure to pinch the biscuit edges tightly to prevent the filling from leaking during baking.
- Adjust the amount of cheese, eggs, or sausage according to your taste preferences or dietary needs.
- These breakfast bombs can be served hot on their own or with a side of fresh fruit or salsa.
