What You’ll Need
Gather These Items:
- 1 can Southern Homestyle Buttermilk Biscuits
- 1½ cups mild cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1 cup scrambled eggs
- 8 precooked sausage links, chopped
- ¼ cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
Feel free to swap the cheese with pepper jack for a kick or use bacon in place of sausage for a smoky flavor.
Directions to Follow
- Preheat your oven to 375°F. Spray a 12-inch skillet with nonstick cooking spray.
- Flatten each biscuit to about ⅛-inch thickness.
- Fill each biscuit with a generous amount of shredded cheese, scrambled eggs, and chopped sausage.
- Pinch the edges tightly to seal the fillings inside. Place them seam-side down in the skillet.
- Brush the tops with melted butter mixed with salt.
- Bake for 20-23 minutes until they are golden brown and irresistible.
- Once baked, brush with any remaining butter and sprinkle with parsley before serving.
Best Ways to Enjoy It
Serving these Breakfast Bombs is all about creativity. Consider plating them with a side of fresh fruit or a light salad for balance. A drizzle of hot sauce can help elevate the flavor for those who enjoy a bit of heat. For drinks, freshly brewed coffee or a mimosa pairs beautifully and rounds out a lovely brunch experience.
How to Store
If you happen to have any leftovers (which might be unlikely!), store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. For longer storage, these bombs can also be frozen for up to a month. When you’re ready to enjoy them again, reheat in the oven at 350°F until warmed through to retain that delightful flakiness.
Tips to Make It Perfect
To ensure a flawless outcome, make sure not to overfill the biscuits, as this can make sealing them tricky. If you’re short on time, you can prep the sausage and scramble the eggs the night before for quicker assembly in the morning.
Recipe Variations
Feeling adventurous? Try adding some sautéed green peppers or onions into the filling for extra flavor and texture. For a vegetarian option, swap out the sausage for roasted vegetables or black beans. The possibilities are endless!
