Cheesy Sausage Biscuit Bites

Cheesy Sausage Biscuit Bites

Cheesy Sausage Biscuit Bites are savory, cheesy, and perfectly bite-sized snacks that combine juicy sausage with melted cheddar cheese inside soft, flaky biscuits. Ideal for breakfast, snacks, brunch, or game-day appetizers, these easy-to-make bites deliver crowd-pleasing flavor with minimal preparation and versatile customizing options.

Ingredients

Primary Ingredients

  • Pre-made biscuit dough (1 package, typically 8-10 biscuits)
  • Ground sausage (1 pound, spicy or mild)
  • Cheddar cheese (about 1 cup, shredded or cut into small cubes)

Seasonings

  • Garlic powder (1/2 teaspoon)
  • Onion powder (1/2 teaspoon)
  • Black pepper (1/4 teaspoon, freshly ground)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Sausage Filling: Cook the ground sausage in a skillet over medium heat, breaking it apart evenly as it browns. Season with garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper. Cook until no pink remains, then drain excess grease and let it cool slightly.
  2. Preheat Oven and Prepare Biscuit Dough: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly flour your work surface and separate the biscuit dough into individual pieces according to package instructions. Gently flatten each piece into a small round disc.
  3. Assemble the Bites: Place about 1 tablespoon of the cooked sausage in the center of each biscuit disc, then add a small cube or spoonful of cheddar cheese on top. Carefully fold the dough edges around the filling, pinching to seal completely so no filling escapes during baking.
  4. Bake Until Golden: Arrange the sealed biscuit bites on a parchment-lined baking sheet, spacing them slightly apart. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the biscuits are puffed up and golden brown. Let them cool briefly before serving to allow the cheese to set.

Notes

  • Use cold biscuit dough to prevent stickiness and make sealing easier.
  • Avoid overfilling to prevent bites from bursting during baking.
  • Lightly flour your hands to help shape and prevent sticking.
  • Drain sausage well to avoid soggy biscuits.
  • Use sharp cheddar cheese for better flavor balance and meltability.
