Easy Cheese Scrambled Eggs Bombs

These breakfast bombs are the perfect quick fix for busy mornings when you want something warm, cheesy, and filling that does not take forever. Wrapped in fluffy buttermilk biscuit dough and loaded with scrambled eggs, gooey cheese, and savory sausage, they are a treat you can pull together in under half an hour. They are easy to customize, making them a reliable go-to that always satisfies.

This recipe became a weekday staple for me after realizing I could prep eggs ahead and just assemble when mornings get hectic

Ingredients

• One can of Southern Homestyle Buttermilk Biscuits: provides a tender and buttery dough that browns beautifully. Choose a kind with flaky layers for the best texture.
• Shredded mild cheddar cheese: melts smoothly and adds gentle tanginess. Freshly shredded cheese melts better than pre-shredded.
• Scrambled eggs: bring the essential breakfast protein and softness; using fresh eggs yields the best flavor and texture.
• Precooked sausage links: add a savory and slightly spicy punch; fresh sausages that are not too fatty work best to avoid greasiness.
• Unsalted butter: melted and brushed on top gives the bombs a golden crust and a rich finish. Use good quality butter for best flavor.
• Kosher salt: balances the flavors; sprinkle evenly to avoid oversalting.
• Fresh parsley: as garnish brightens and adds a fresh herbal note.

Instructions

Preheat Oven and Prepare Skillet:

Set your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit to ensure even baking. Use a 12-inch oven-safe skillet and spray it with nonstick cooking spray to prevent sticking and crisp the bottoms of your bombs.

Flatten the Biscuits:

Remove biscuits carefully from the can and lay them on a clean surface. Use a rolling pin to press each biscuit into a 1/8-inch thick disc. This creates enough dough to wrap around the filling fully without being too doughy.

Layer the Filling:

Place a generous amount of shredded cheddar cheese on each flattened biscuit, followed by scrambled eggs, and then chopped sausage. Leave about half an inch clear around the edge to help seal the bombs without stuffing spilling out.

Seal the Bombs:

Carefully pinch the edges of each biscuit together to form a sealed pouch or orb shape. Turn the sealed side down and place them in your prepared skillet in a single layer, spaced evenly.

Butter Brush Before Baking:

Whisk together the melted butter with kosher salt thoroughly. Brush half of this mixture generously over the tops of each bomb to encourage browning and flavor.

Bake Until Golden:

Slide the skillet into the oven and bake for 20 to 23 minutes until the tops are a deep golden brown and the cheese melted inside bubbles slightly through any cracks.

Final Butter Brush and Garnish:

Remove bombs from the oven and immediately brush with the remaining salted butter to keep the crust glossy and flavorful. Sprinkle freshly chopped parsley on top for a burst of color and freshness before serving.

I have always loved how the melted butter brushed afterward elevates these bombs to a restaurant-quality finish. They remind me of carefree weekend mornings with family around the kitchen table where everyone helped assemble their own favorite combos.

Storage tips

Store leftover breakfast bombs in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days. To reheat, warm them in a toaster oven or regular oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for about 10 minutes until warmed through and crisp. Avoid microwaving to prevent sogginess.

Ingredient swaps

Try swapping out the mild cheddar for pepper jack or smoked gouda for added depth of flavor. Pasta or chorizo sausage makes an excellent substitute for breakfast links. For a vegetarian version, skip the meat and add sautéed mushrooms or spinach.

Serving ideas

Serve these bombs with a side of fresh fruit or a simple green salad for a balanced breakfast. A drizzle of hot sauce or a dollop of sour cream on the side adds a nice contrast and extra flavor. Pair with a strong cup of coffee or fresh orange juice to round out your morning.

The perfect balance of ease and flavor makes these breakfast bombs a must-try. Customize them your way and enjoy a cozy start to any morning.
