Ingredients
Scale
Biscuit and Filling
- 1 can (8-count) Southern Homestyle Buttermilk Biscuits (not flaky)
- 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 and Seasoning
- ¼ cup (½ stick / 57 g) unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat oven and prepare skillet: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Spray a 12-inch oven-safe skillet with nonstick cooking spray and set aside. If your scrambled eggs are not prepared yet, cook them now to your preferred consistency, using about 4-5 eggs to yield 1 cup.
- Roll out biscuits: Remove the biscuits from the can and place them on a clean work surface. Using a rolling pin, flatten each biscuit to about ⅛-inch thickness to prepare for filling.
- Add filling: On each flattened biscuit, evenly spread shredded cheddar cheese, then add scrambled eggs and chopped sausage. Leave a small border around the edges for sealing.
- Seal the bombs: Use your fingers to pull the sides of the biscuit dough over the filling and pinch the edges tightly to seal. Place each bomb seam-side down into the prepared skillet.
- Prepare salted butter: In a small bowl, whisk together the melted unsalted butter and kosher salt.
- Brush with butter: Brush half of the salted butter mixture generously over the tops of the sealed biscuits.
- Bake: Place the skillet in the preheated oven and bake for 20-23 minutes, or until the Breakfast Bombs are golden brown and cooked through.
- Final butter brush and garnish: Immediately upon removing from the oven, brush the remaining salted butter over the bombs. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve warm.
Notes
- For best results, use mild cheddar cheese to balance the flavors and avoid overpowering the sausage.
- You can prep scrambled eggs ahead of time to speed up the assembly process in the morning.
- Ensure the biscuit edges are well sealed to prevent filling from leaking during baking.
- Feel free to substitute sausage links with bacon or ham according to preference.
- Fresh parsley garnish adds a pop of color and a touch of freshness.
