Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 6 Southern-style buttermilk biscuits
  • 4 large eggs, scrambled
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup pre-cooked beef sausage, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons butter, melted
  • Salt, to taste

Optional Garnish

  • Fresh parsley, chopped, for sprinkling

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a baking dish or skillet to prevent sticking.
  2. Prepare Biscuits: Flatten each southern-style buttermilk biscuit into approximately 4-inch circles using your hands or a rolling pin, ensuring an even thickness to allow for filling.
  3. Fill Biscuits: Spoon a generous amount of fluffy scrambled eggs, chopped pre-cooked beef sausage, and shredded cheddar cheese onto the center of each biscuit circle.
  4. Seal and Shape: Carefully pull the edges of the biscuit dough up and around the filling, sealing the edges tightly to enclose the filling, then gently roll each filled biscuit into a smooth ball to ensure even baking.
  5. Brush with Butter: Brush the tops of the filled biscuit balls with the melted butter for a rich, golden finish.
  6. Bake: Place the filled biscuits in the greased baking dish or skillet and bake in the preheated oven for 20-23 minutes or until they turn golden brown on top.
  7. Finish and Serve: Remove the breakfast bombs from the oven, brush again lightly with melted butter, sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley if desired, and serve warm to enjoy their full flavor and texture.

Notes

  • Use pre-cooked sausage to save time; remove casing if needed and chop finely.
  • Ensure biscuits are sealed tightly to prevent filling leakage during baking.
  • For a spicier version, add diced jalapeños or hot sauce to the egg mixture.
  • Can be prepared ahead of time and refrigerated before baking.
  • Substitute cheddar with other cheeses like pepper jack or mozzarella for variation.
