Ingredients
Scale
For the Filling
- 6 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons milk
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup cooked crumbled bacon or sausage
- 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
For the Dough
- 1 can refrigerated biscuit dough (8 biscuits)
For Finishing
- 2 tablespoons melted butter (for brushing)
- 1 tablespoon chopped parsley (optional garnish)
Instructions
- Scramble the eggs: In a nonstick skillet over medium heat, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper. Cook the mixture, stirring occasionally, until the eggs are just set but still moist.
- Add meat to eggs: Stir in the cooked crumbled bacon or sausage into the scrambled eggs. Remove the skillet from heat and let the mixture cool slightly to prevent dough from melting during assembly.
- Mix in cheese: Once the egg and meat mixture is slightly cooled, fold in the shredded sharp cheddar cheese evenly throughout.
- Prepare biscuit dough: Flatten each round of refrigerated biscuit dough into approximately 4-inch circles, making them thin enough to encase the filling.
- Fill the biscuits: Spoon a generous amount of the egg, meat, and cheese mixture into the center of each dough circle, being careful not to overfill.
- Seal the bombs: Pull the edges of the dough up over the filling and pinch tightly to seal completely, forming a closed ball. Place each sealed dough ball seam-side down on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Brush with butter: Use a pastry brush to coat the tops of each biscuit bomb with melted butter to promote browning.
- Bake to golden perfection: Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 15 to 20 minutes or until the biscuits are puffed and golden brown on top.
- Optional finishing touches: After baking, optionally brush the tops again with melted butter and sprinkle with chopped parsley for added flavor and presentation.
- Serve or store: Serve the breakfast bombs warm fresh from the oven, or allow them to cool and store in an airtight container for later enjoyment.
Notes
- You can substitute bacon or sausage with cooked vegetables for a vegetarian option, but the recipe as is includes meat.
- Ensure the egg mixture has cooled slightly before filling the dough to avoid dough sticking or melting.
- These breakfast bombs can be reheated in the oven or microwave for a quick meal.
- For a lower fat version, use reduced-fat cheese and lean meat options.
- Brush with melted butter before and after baking for a richer flavor and shiny crust.
