Directions and Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). While the oven warms up, lightly grease a baking sheet with cooking spray to prevent any stickiness.
- In a skillet over medium heat, pour in the olive oil. Add the diced bell pepper and onion, sautéing until they turn soft and fragrant—about 5 minutes.
- Meanwhile, crack the 6 large eggs into a mixing bowl. Whisk in salt, pepper, and garlic powder until well combined. Pour this egg mixture into the skillet with the sautéed vegetables, scrambling until the eggs are cooked through. Remove from heat.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked sausage, the fluffy scrambled eggs, and the shredded cheddar cheese. Stir well to make sure every bite is filled with that delicious filling!
- Open the package of biscuit dough and separate it into individual biscuits.
- Flatten each biscuit into a circle on your work surface. Add a generous scoop of the breakfast filling right in the center of each one.
- Carefully fold the edges of the biscuit over the filling, pinching to seal and forming a delightful little ball.
- Place the sealed biscuits seam-side down onto your prepared baking sheet.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 12-15 minutes, or until the biscuits turn a beautiful golden brown.
- Once they’re ready, allow the breakfast bombs to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy the warm, cheesy goodness!
Notes or Tips
- Feel free to customize the filling! Adding in spinach, tomatoes, or cooked bacon can elevate these breakfast bombs even further.
- For extra crispiness, brush the tops of the bombs with melted butter before baking.
- These breakfast bombs can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator or freezer. Just reheat them in the oven for a quick meal!
Cooking Techniques
Sautéing the vegetables is key to unlocking their natural sweetness and adding depth to the filling. Scrambling the eggs ensures fluffy and tender bites, while sealing the biscuit properly keeps all that delicious goodness tucked inside. Baking at the right temperature gives the biscuits that perfect rise and golden finish.
