Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients You’ll Need

  • 1 pound ground breakfast sausage (well-seasoned)
  • 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese (or cheese blend)
  • 1 can refrigerated biscuit dough (about 8 biscuits)
  • 1 egg (beaten, for egg wash)
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • Optional: garlic powder, a pinch

Instructions

  1. Prepare the sausage: Cook the ground sausage in a skillet over medium heat until browned and fully cooked, breaking it into small crumbles for even distribution. Drain excess grease.
  2. Preheat your oven: Set the oven to 375°F (190°C) to have it ready for baking once the bites are assembled.
  3. Cut and prepare biscuit dough: Roll out the biscuit dough slightly and cut into small squares or circles depending on the shape of your biscuit dough, creating bite-sized wrappers.
  4. Assemble the bites: Place a spoonful of cooked sausage and a pinch of shredded cheese onto the center of each biscuit piece. Fold or pinch the dough over the filling tightly to enclose it fully.
  5. Apply egg wash: Brush the tops of each biscuit bite with lightly beaten egg to develop a golden and shiny crust during baking.
  6. Bake until golden: Arrange the bites on a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake for 15-18 minutes, or until the biscuits are fluffy, golden brown, and the cheese is melted inside.

Notes

  • Use cold biscuit dough to prevent stickiness and ensure easier handling.
  • Do not overfill the bites to avoid bursting during baking.
  • Cut biscuit pieces evenly for uniform cooking and consistent bite sizes.
  • Keep an eye on baking time to avoid over-browning or drying out.
  • Drain cooked sausage well to reduce greasiness.
