Sausage Biscuit Bites


  • Freshly chopped parsley or green onions
  • Dried thyme or sage for extra seasoning
  • Crushed red pepper flakes for a spicy kick

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.

Step 2: Flatten the Biscuits

Remove the biscuits from the can and gently flatten each one slightly with your hands or a rolling pin. This makes it easier to wrap them around the filling.

Step 3: Assemble the Bites

  1. Place a small spoonful of cooked sausage in the center of each flattened biscuit.
  2. Sprinkle a pinch of shredded cheese over the sausage.
  3. Fold the edges of the biscuit up and around the filling, pinching tightly to seal. If needed, brush the edges with a little water to help them stick together.
  4. Arrange the sealed bites seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 4: Brush with Egg Wash

Lightly brush the tops of the assembled bites with the beaten egg. This gives them a golden brown finish and adds shine.

Step 5: Bake

Bake in the preheated oven for 12–15 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and the cheese is melted.

Step 6: Serve

Let the bites cool for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh parsley or green onions if desired, and serve warm alongside your favorite dipping sauce—ketchup, honey mustard, or hot sauce all pair beautifully.

Tips for Success

  • Don’t Overfill : Be careful not to add too much sausage or cheese, as this could cause the bites to burst open during baking.
  • Use Fully Cooked Sausage : Save time by using pre-cooked sausage or cooking raw sausage ahead of time.
  • Add Extras : Stir in diced jalapeños, chopped herbs, or shredded bacon for added flavor.
  • Freeze for Later : Make a batch and freeze unbaked bites. When ready to eat, bake directly from frozen, adding a few extra minutes to the cooking time.

Variations to Try

  • Spicy Kick : Mix in red pepper flakes or diced jalapeños into the sausage mixture for heat lovers.
  • Cheesy Delight : Use a mix of cheeses like mozzarella, Monterey Jack, or pepper jack for extra richness.
  • Herby Twist : Fold in dried thyme, rosemary, or sage for a fragrant touch.
  • Vegan Option : Replace the sausage with seasoned plant-based crumbles and use dairy-free cheese for a similar experience.
