Cheesy Sausage Biscuit Bites are crispy, cheesy, and packed with savory sausage flavor wrapped inside soft, flaky biscuit dough. Perfect as an easy-to-make, crowd-pleasing appetizer or snack, these bites combine juicy sausage and melty cheese for a delicious treat that’s great for parties, on-the-go snacking, or family gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale

Sausage Filling

  • 1 pound breakfast or Italian sausage
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or cheese blend)

Biscuit Dough

  • 1 package pre-made biscuit dough (or equivalent homemade dough)

Finishing

  • 1 large egg (beaten, for egg wash)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the sausage filling: Cook the sausage in a skillet over medium heat until browned and cooked through. Drain any excess grease, then stir in onion powder, garlic powder, and shredded cheese until the cheese is melted and well combined.
  2. Roll out the biscuit dough: Lightly flour your surface and roll your biscuit dough into a rectangle about 1/4 inch thick, making it easier to cut into uniform squares or circles.
  3. Assemble the bites: Place a small spoonful of the sausage and cheese mixture onto the center of each dough piece. Fold the dough over or bring the edges together and pinch to seal, forming bite-sized pockets.
  4. Add the egg wash: Lightly brush each bite with beaten egg to ensure a shiny, golden crust when baked.
  5. Bake to perfection: Arrange the bites on a lined baking sheet and bake at 375°F (190°C) for about 15-18 minutes, or until the tops are puffed and golden brown.

Notes

  • Use cold biscuit dough to keep the bites flaky rather than tough when baked.
  • Don’t overfill the bites to prevent leaks or uneven sealing during baking.
  • Cut dough into uniform shapes to ensure even cooking of all bites.
  • Experiment by combining different cheeses for enhanced flavor and texture.
  • Allow bites to cool slightly before eating to avoid burning from hot cheese.
