Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound (453g) ground breakfast sausage (regular or spicy, depending on preference)
- 8 ounces (226g) cream cheese, softened to room temperature
- 2 cans (16.3 oz/462g each) refrigerated biscuit dough
- 1/4 cup (25g) green onions, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon salt (adjust based on sausage saltiness)
- 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional, for heat)
- 2 tablespoons (28g) butter, melted
- 1/4 cup (25g) grated parmesan cheese (optional, for topping)
Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat Your Oven and Prepare Baking Sheets Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or lightly grease them with cooking spray. This preparation ensures your Sausage & Cream Cheese Biscuit Bites won’t stick during baking.
- Step 2: Cook the Sausage Mixture In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the sausage until no longer pink, breaking it into small crumbles as it cooks (about 8-10 minutes). Drain excess grease and return to low heat. Stir in seasonings and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Step 3: Combine Sausage Mixture with Cream Cheese Remove the skillet from heat and let the sausage mixture cool for 5 minutes. Add softened cream cheese and green onions, stirring until well combined. Set aside to cool slightly.
- Step 4: Flatten Biscuit Dough and Add Filling Open the cans of biscuit dough and flatten each biscuit into 3-inch circles. Add sausage and cream cheese mixture to the center of each biscuit. Fold edges to seal and form into a ball.
- Step 5: Arrange and Bake the Bites Place the filled bites on prepared baking sheets, brushing with melted butter and sprinkling with Parmesan cheese if desired. Bake for 14-17 minutes until golden brown.
- Step 6: Let Cool and Serve Cool the Sausage & Cream Cheese Biscuit Bites on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before serving warm. Caution guests about the hot filling.
