Ingredients
Dough 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 turkey sausage links, chopped (about 1 cup), divided
Butter Topping
- ¼ cup (½ stick / 57 g) unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat the oven and prepare skillet: Preheat the oven to 375°F. Spray a 12-inch oven-safe skillet with nonstick cooking spray and set aside. If scrambled eggs are not yet prepared, cook them now.
- Roll out biscuits: Remove 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 create a thin dough base.
- Assemble filling: On each flattened biscuit, evenly distribute shredded cheddar cheese, followed by scrambled eggs, then chopped turkey sausage—leaving some space around the edges for sealing.
- Seal bombs: Carefully pull the edges of the biscuit dough around the filling and pinch the seams together to enclose the ingredients fully, forming a 'bomb.' Place each bomb seam-side down in the prepared skillet. Repeat until all bombs are assembled.
- Brush with salted butter: In a small bowl, whisk together melted butter and kosher salt. Brush half of this mixture over the tops of each breakfast bomb evenly.
- Bake: Place the skillet in the preheated oven and bake for 20 to 23 minutes, or until the bombs turn golden brown and cooked through.
- Finish and serve: Remove skillet from oven and immediately brush the remaining salted butter over the bombs. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve warm.
Notes
- Use mild cheddar cheese for a balanced flavor, though you can substitute with your preferred cheese variety.
- Scrambled eggs can be prepared in advance to save time.
- Ensure sausage links are precooked before chopping to avoid undercooked meat inside bombs.
- For a crispier bottom, you can bake on a lined baking sheet instead of a skillet—spray the sheet with nonstick spray.
- These breakfast bombs can be reheated in the oven or microwave but are best enjoyed fresh.
