Cheesy Sausage Biscuit Bombs
This recipe uses pre-made dough for maximum ease and minimum fuss, without sacrificing any deliciousness.
Yield: 16-20 bombs
Prep Time: 15 minutes
Bake Time: 15-20 minutes
Servings: 4-6 as an appetizer/snack
Ingredients
· 1 lb (16 oz) ground breakfast sausage (mild or spicy)
· 1 can (16.3 oz) refrigerated flaky biscuit dough (8-count, like Pillsbury Grands!™)
· 4 oz (about 1 cup) block of sharp cheddar cheese, cut into 16-20 small cubes
· 2 tablespoons melted butter
· 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh parsley or chives (optional, for garnish)
· Optional for dipping: Ranch dressing, marinara sauce, or honey.
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Cook the Sausage: In a skillet over medium-high heat, cook the sausage, breaking it up with a spoon, until it’s fully browned and cooked through. Drain off any excess grease and transfer the sausage to a bowl to cool slightly.
- Assemble the Bombs:
· Separate the biscuit dough into 8 rounds. Then, carefully split each round in half horizontally at the perforated layers, so you have 16 thinner rounds. (If your dough doesn’t split easily, you can simply flatten each biscuit and cut it in half or into quarters to get 16-20 small pieces).
· Take one piece of dough and flatten it slightly in your hand. Place a small spoonful of the cooked sausage in the center, then press a cube of cheddar cheese on top of the sausage.
· Wrap the dough around the filling, pinching the seams tightly to seal completely and form a ball. Make sure no filling is peeking out.
· Place the sealed ball, seam-side down, on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining dough and filling. - Bake: Brush the top of each bomb lightly with the melted butter. This will help them brown beautifully.
· Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until they are puffed up and deep golden brown. - Serve: Let them cool for a few minutes on the pan (the cheese inside will be molten hot!). Sprinkle with fresh parsley or chives if desired, and serve warm with your favorite dipping sauces.
Why This Recipe is a Winner: Pro Tips & Variations
· Seal Tightly: The most important step is to pinch the dough together well so the cheese doesn’t leak out during baking.
· Don’t Overfill: Use about a tablespoon of sausage per bomb. Overfilling makes them difficult to seal.
· Customize the Fillings:
· Pepperoni Pizza Bombs: Add a small slice of pepperoni and a cube of mozzarella cheese with the sausage.
· Jalapeño Popper: Add a small slice of pickled jalapeño inside with the cheese.
· Different Cheeses: Try using Pepper Jack for a kick, or a mix of cheddar and cream cheese for extra creaminess.
· Garlic Butter Glaze: For an extra flavor boost, mix the melted butter with a ¼ teaspoon of garlic powder before brushing it on.
· Make-Ahead: You can assemble the bombs, place them on the baking sheet, and freeze them solid. Once frozen, transfer to a freezer bag. Bake from frozen, adding 5-10 minutes to the baking time.
