Recipe Information
Prep Time: 20 minutes
Bake Time: 18–22 minutes
Total Time: About 45 minutes
Servings: 8–10 biscuit bombs
Difficulty: Easy
Ingredients
1 can refrigerated biscuit dough
1 pound breakfast sausage
4 ounces cream cheese, softened
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
½ teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon onion powder
¼ teaspoon black pepper
1 tablespoon chopped parsley, optional
1 egg
1 tablespoon water
2 tablespoons melted butter
2 tablespoons grated Parmesan, optional
Prepare the Sausage Filling
Cook the sausage in a skillet over medium heat.
Break it into small crumbles and cook until fully browned.
Drain excess grease.
Transfer the sausage to a bowl and allow it to cool slightly.
Add the softened cream cheese, shredded cheddar, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and parsley.
Mix until thick and evenly combined.
Prepare the Biscuit Dough
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
Line a baking sheet with foil or parchment paper.
Separate the biscuit dough into individual pieces.
Flatten each biscuit gently into a round.
Place a generous spoonful of sausage filling in the center.
Shape the Biscuit Bombs
Bring the edges of the dough up around the filling.
Pinch the seams firmly closed.
Turn each biscuit bomb seam-side down.
Gently shape it into a round mound.
Arrange the bombs with a little space between them on the baking sheet.
Step-by-Step Instructions
Whisk the egg with 1 tablespoon of water.
Brush the tops of the biscuit bombs with the egg wash.
Brush lightly with melted butter.
Sprinkle with Parmesan if desired.
Bake at 375°F for 18–22 minutes, or until the tops are puffed and deeply golden.
The biscuit dough should be fully baked around the sides and bottom.
Remove from the oven and brush with a little extra melted butter.
Let them rest for about 5 minutes before serving.
Tips for Best Results
Drain the sausage well so the filling does not become greasy.
Let the sausage cool slightly before mixing it with the cheese.
Do not overfill the dough.
Seal every seam firmly so the filling stays inside.
Place the seam underneath before baking.
Bake until the tops are properly golden for the best flaky texture.
Flavor Variations
For Spicy Sausage Biscuit Bombs, use hot breakfast sausage and add jalapeños.
For Bacon Cheddar Bombs, add cooked crumbled bacon to the filling.
For Sausage Ranch Bombs, add ranch seasoning.
For Pepper Jack Sausage Bombs, replace cheddar with pepper jack.
For Garlic Parmesan Bombs, increase the garlic and finish with extra Parmesan.
How to Serve
Serve these biscuit bombs warm.
They pair well with ranch, sausage gravy, honey mustard, hot sauce, or maple syrup.
For breakfast, serve them with scrambled eggs and fruit.
For game day or parties, arrange them on a platter with several dipping sauces.
Meal Prep and Storage
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Reheat in a 350°F (175°C) oven or air fryer until hot.
For the best texture, avoid microwaving for too long because the biscuit exterior can become soft.
The sausage filling can be prepared one day ahead.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
Do not leave too much grease in the sausage.
Avoid overstuffing the biscuits.
Do not stretch the dough too thin.
Make sure the seams are completely sealed.
Do not remove them from the oven while the tops are still pale.
