Description

These Breakfast Bombs are a delicious and satisfying morning treat featuring flaky buttermilk biscuits filled with scrambled eggs, mild cheddar cheese, and savory precooked sausage links. Baked to golden perfection and brushed with melted salted butter, they make a perfect grab-and-go breakfast or a crowd-pleasing brunch option, garnished with fresh parsley for a pop of color and flavor.

Ingredients

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 to your liking (roughly 4-5 eggs depending on size), divided
  • 8 precooked sausage links, chopped (about 1 cup), divided

Butter Mixture

  • ¼ cup (½ stick / 57 g) unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt

Garnish

  • Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven and prepare skillet: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Spray a 12-inch oven-safe skillet with nonstick cooking spray and set it aside. This will be used to bake the breakfast bombs evenly.
  2. Roll out the biscuits: Remove the biscuits from the can and place them on a clean work surface. Using a rolling pin, gently flatten each biscuit to about ⅛-inch thickness to create enough surface for filling and folding.
  3. Assemble the bombs: Evenly distribute the shredded cheese, scrambled eggs, and chopped sausage over each flattened biscuit, leaving some space around the edges. These layers create a flavorful, hearty filling.
  4. Seal the bombs: Use your fingers to pull the sides of each biscuit up and pinch the edges together tightly to seal the filling inside. Place each sealed bomb with the pinch side down into the prepared skillet to maintain their shape during baking.
  5. Prepare salted butter and brush tops: In a small bowl, whisk together the melted unsalted butter and kosher salt. Brush half of this salted butter mixture evenly over the tops of the bombs to enhance browning and add flavor.
  6. Bake the bombs: Place the skillet in the preheated oven and bake for 20-23 minutes until the bombs turn golden brown and cooked through.
  7. Final butter brush and garnish: Remove the skillet from the oven and immediately brush the tops of the bombs with the remaining salted butter mixture to keep them moist and glossy. Sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley as a bright, fresh garnish before serving.

Notes

  • If you prefer a spicier version, consider adding diced jalapeños or a pinch of cayenne to the filling.
  • You can substitute the sausage links with cooked bacon or ham for different flavors.
  • Make sure to tightly seal the biscuit edges to prevent filling from leaking during baking.
  • Serve warm for the best texture and flavor.
