Gather These Items
To whip up these breakfast wonders, make sure you have the following ingredients ready:
- 1 can refrigerated biscuit dough
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup cooked breakfast sausage or bacon, crumbled
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- 1 tablespoon chopped parsley or chives (optional)
If you need to substitute, consider using turkey sausage for a lighter version or a cheddar blend if you want to mix up the cheese flavors.
Step-by-Step Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a pan, scramble the eggs. Don’t forget to season with salt and pepper for extra flavor!
- Cook your choice of breakfast sausage or bacon in the same pan, then crumble it into small pieces.
- On a clean surface, flatten each biscuit round.
- In the center of each round, spoon the scrambled eggs, sprinkle in some cheese, and add the crumbled meat.
- Carefully pinch the edges of the biscuit to seal the filling inside.
- Place the sealed dough balls seam-side down onto a baking tray.
- Brush each bomb with melted butter and, if you like, sprinkle with parsley or chives for a fresh touch.
- Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until they are golden brown.
- Allow to cool slightly before serving; the inside will be wonderfully warm!
Best Ways to Enjoy It
These Breakfast Bombs are delicious on their own but can also be dressed up for serving! Consider pairing them with a side of fresh fruit, crispy hash browns, or a mixed salad for a balanced meal. They also go wonderfully with a spicy sriracha sauce for those who crave a kick or a classic brunch cocktail like a mimosa.
How to Store
To keep your leftover Breakfast Bombs fresh, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator. They should last up to three days. When you’re ready to enjoy them again, simply reheat in the oven for about 10 minutes or microwave for 30-45 seconds until warmed through.
Helpful Cooking Tips
- For a richer flavor, try adding a hint of garlic powder or onion powder to the scrambled eggs.
- Make sure not to overfill the biscuit rounds to prevent them from bursting during baking.
- If you’re short on time, you can prepare the filling the night before and assemble the bombs in the morning.
