Ingredients
(Tip: You’ll find the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)
- 1 can (8-count) refrigerated biscuit dough (like Pillsbury Grands)
- 4 eggs, scrambled
- ½ cup cooked sausage, crumbled
- ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 tbsp green onions, chopped (optional)
- 2 tbsp butter, melted
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp Italian seasoning (optional)
- ¼ tsp salt & black pepper
Directions
1. Preheat & Prep
Start by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lining a baking sheet with parchment paper. If you’re using an air fryer, preheat it to 350°F (175°C).
2. Make the Filling
Scramble the eggs in a skillet and season them with salt and pepper. Once cooked, stir in the crumbled sausage, shredded cheddar cheese, and chopped green onions. Set the filling aside to cool slightly.
3. Assemble the Bombs
Take each biscuit dough round and flatten it slightly with your hands or a rolling pin. Place 1-2 tablespoons of the egg and sausage filling in the center of each biscuit. Carefully pinch the edges together to seal the filling inside, forming a round ball. Place each bomb seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
4. Brush with Butter & Bake
In a small bowl, mix the melted butter with garlic powder and Italian seasoning. Brush this mixture generously over the tops of the breakfast bombs.
- Baking Option: Bake in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes, or until the bombs are golden brown and the dough is fully cooked.
- Air Fryer Option: Cook at 350°F (175°C) for 8-10 minutes, flipping halfway through to ensure even browning.
5. Serve & Enjoy
Let the breakfast bombs cool for about 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy them warm with your favorite dipping sauces, such as salsa, gravy, or even a drizzle of hot sauce!
