Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 can refrigerated biscuit dough
- 0.5 pound (226.8 grams) breakfast sausage
- 0.5 cup (113.4 grams) shredded cheddar cheese
Seasoning Ingredients:
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
Gravy and Topping Ingredients:
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted (for brushing)
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 0.75 cup (177 milliliters) whole milk
Instructions
- Prepare the culinary workspace by warming the oven to 375°F (190°C) and lining a baking sheet with parchment paper for optimal cooking surface.
- Transform the breakfast sausage into crispy, caramelized crumbles by browning thoroughly in a skillet over medium heat, ensuring complete cooking and rich flavor development.
- Create a luxurious gravy foundation by dusting the cooked sausage with flour, then gradually introducing milk while continuously stirring to develop a smooth, velvety consistency.
- Enhance the gravy’s depth by incorporating garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper, stirring until the mixture thickens and seasonings meld harmoniously.
- Gently manipulate each biscuit dough, flattening it into a delicate canvas ready to cradle the savory filling.
- Strategically place a hearty spoonful of sausage gravy in the center of each biscuit, optionally sprinkling shredded cheddar for an extra layer of indulgence.
- Execute a precise sealing technique by carefully folding the biscuit edges over the filling, meticulously pinching to create a secure enclosure that prevents leakage during baking.
- Position the assembled bombs seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring stability and attractive presentation.
- Brush the exterior with melted butter, which will impart a golden, crisp exterior and rich flavor profile.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, watching for a beautiful golden-brown transformation that signals perfect doneness.
- Allow a brief cooling period to let the internal temperature stabilize, then serve alongside additional gravy for an indulgent dipping experience.
Notes
- Swap out traditional breakfast sausage with turkey or plant-based sausage for a healthier protein alternative that keeps the flavor profile intact.
- Keep gravy consistency smooth by whisking continuously and adding milk gradually to prevent lumps from forming during thickening process.
- Cold biscuit dough creates cleaner seals and prevents filling from leaking during baking, so refrigerate dough briefly before assembling bombs.
- For gluten-sensitive individuals, use gluten-free flour and biscuit mix to maintain recipe’s delicious taste without compromising dietary restrictions.
