The Cooking Process Explained
Making Breakfast Bombs is a straightforward and fun process! You’ll begin by scrambling some eggs and crumbling your choice of breakfast meat.

Gather These Items
To create these tasty Breakfast Bombs, you’ll need the following ingredients:
- 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)
Feel free to swap the cheddar for your favorite cheese or use leftover meats for added flavor. You can also go fully vegetarian by omitting the meat altogether!
Step-by-Step Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a pan, scramble the eggs, seasoning with salt and pepper.
- Cook your choice of breakfast sausage or bacon, then crumble it into small pieces.
- Flatten each biscuit round on a clean surface.
- Spoon scrambled eggs, cheese, and crumbled meat into the center of each round.
- Pinch the edges to seal the filling inside the dough completely.
- Place the sealed balls seam-side down on a baking tray.
- Brush with melted butter and, if desired, sprinkle with parsley or chives.
- Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until golden brown.
- Allow to cool slightly before serving.
Best Ways to Enjoy It
These Breakfast Bombs are delicious on their own but pair beautifully with a variety of sides. Consider serving them alongside fresh fruit, a simple green salad, or even a warm bowl of oatmeal for a hearty breakfast. A light drizzle of hot sauce or your favorite dipping sauce can elevate them to a whole new level!
Storage and Reheating Tips
To keep your Breakfast Bombs fresh, store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. If you want to freeze them, place the cooked bombs in a freezer-safe bag or container, and they’ll stay good for up to a month. For reheating, pop them in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10-15 minutes or microwave for a quicker option, though the oven method helps maintain the crispiness.
Helpful Cooking Tips
- Use a rolling pin to flatten the biscuit rounds; this helps create more surface area for filling.
- For an extra cheesy touch, sprinkle additional cheese on top after sealing the bombs.
- If you want to add veggies, feel free to toss in some sautéed spinach or bell peppers with your egg mixture.
Recipe Variations
Feeling adventurous? Here are some fun variations to try:
- Swap the cheddar for feta and add spinach for a Mediterranean version.
- Try a southwestern twist by adding diced jalapeños and pepper jack cheese.
- For a sweet treat, fill them with a mixture of cream cheese and fruit preserves for a dessert-style bomb.
