Directions and Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). This warm temperature will ensure a perfectly baked treat that is golden brown and delicious.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the crumbled sausage, scrambled eggs, shredded cheddar cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Stir well until all the ingredients are fully mixed, and set aside.
- Open the can of biscuit dough and gently separate each biscuit. Use your hands or a rolling pin to flatten each biscuit into a circle. Make them about 4 inches in diameter for the perfect stuffing.
- Place a generous spoonful of the sausage and egg mixture in the center of each flattened biscuit, allowing the filling to shine as the star of this breakfast bomb.
- Carefully fold the edges of each biscuit over the filling, pinching them tightly to seal in all that scrumptious goodness. You want them snug to keep everything together!
- Arrange the stuffed biscuits seam-side down on a greased baking sheet, giving them a little space so they can puff up while baking.
- Brush the tops of each biscuit with the beaten egg. This egg wash will give them a beautiful, glossy finish as they bake.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the tops are a delightful golden brown. You’ll know they’re ready when your kitchen smells amazing!
- Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before savoring these warm, cheesy delights.
Notes or Tips
For an extra pop of flavor, consider adding some chopped bell peppers or onions to the filling. You can also swap the cheddar cheese for your favorite cheese, like pepper jack for a little heat. These breakfast bombs are also fantastic frozen; simply bake them, allow to cool, and then store in an airtight container in the freezer. When you’re ready to enjoy, just pop them in the oven for a quick reheat!
Cooking Techniques
