Another thing I love about this breakfast recipe is that you can easily customize the ingredients to make it any way you like. Add extra cheese or use bacon instead of sausage if that’s your thing.
Stuffed Breakfast Biscuits Ingredients
- breakfast sausage – you can use hot or mild ground sausage.
- eggs
- large biscuits – we like to use Pillsbury Grands for this recipe. Fluffy or buttermilk biscuits will work but the flaky layers are easier to pull apart.
- cheddar cheese
How to Make Stuffed Breakfast Biscuits
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper, or spray generously with non stick spray. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
Brown the sausage and drain most of the grease (I use a ChopStir when cooking ground meats – it makes the cooked meat nice and crumbly). You’ll want to leave a little grease in the bottom of the pan to cook the eggs.
Add eggs to the sausage pan and scramble the eggs. Allow the eggs to cool for about 5 minutes after they have finished cooking.
Pull each biscuit apart horizontally and stretch so you have large thin circles.
Add the sausage and egg mixture to half of the biscuits.
Top with cheese and season with salt and pepper.
Place the remaining biscuits on top and press the edges together with a fork.
Bake for 15 minutes or until they are golden brown.
Tips for making breakfast bombs
- To reduce time, use heat-and-serve sausage patties or pre-cooked sausage crumbles.
- For fluffy eggs, scramble them in a mixing bowl with a dash of milk before adding to the sausage crumbles.
- If you are adding veggies, sauté them in the pan with the sausage, before cracking the eggs in.
- If desired, brush the tops of each biscuit with egg wash for a perfect golden brown biscuit.

Breakfast Biscuits Variations & Substitutions
- Biscuits: if you’ve got a little extra time, substitute the canned biscuits for these easy homemade cottage cheese biscuits (they’re worth the extra effort!).
- Meat: swap for crumbled bacon (can also use real bacon bits if you’re in a hurry), turkey bacon, turkey sausage, or diced ham.
- Cheese: American or try pepper jack for a kick.
- Veggies: add sauteed diced green pepper, onion or mushrooms.
- Turn these into a dinner recipe by using ground beef mixed with taco seasoning. Think of it as a taco hand pie! Add a little cheese and salsa to the inside, cook as directed, then garnish with sour cream and guacamole when serving.
How to Store Leftover Breakfast Biscuits
Store leftovers in the refrigerator in an airtight container or plastic bag for 2-3 days. Reheat in the microwave, wrapped in a paper towel, for 25-30 seconds.
To freeze, allow the breakfast bombs to cool completely, then transfer them to a freezer bag (lay biscuits flat in a single layer for best results). To reheat, microwave for 1 minute at 50% power level. Rotate and heat for another 30 seconds or until heated through.
Can You Use Frozen Biscuits for This Recipe?
We don’t recommend using frozen biscuits to make stuffed breakfast biscuits because you can’t stretch the dough and seal the sides.
