Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 pound bulk breakfast sausage
- 2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 1 1/4 cups baking mix (such as Bisquick)
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 can (16.3 ounces) refrigerated biscuit dough (8-count)
Garnish
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat and Cook Sausage: Preheat your oven to 375°F. In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the bulk breakfast sausage until it is browned and fully cooked, breaking it into crumbles as it cooks. Once done, drain any excess grease and allow the sausage to cool slightly.
- Mix Filling: In a large bowl, combine the cooked sausage, shredded sharp cheddar cheese, baking mix, garlic powder, and black pepper. Stir thoroughly until the mixture forms a consistent dough-like texture.
- Prepare Biscuit Cups: Open the can of refrigerated biscuit dough and separate it into 8 individual biscuits. Flatten each biscuit into a 4-inch round shape and press each one into the cups of a greased muffin tin, forming a well in the center of each biscuit to hold the filling.
- Fill and Bake: Spoon the sausage-cheese mixture evenly into each biscuit cup, pressing down gently to pack the filling. Bake the biscuit cups in the preheated oven for 15 to 18 minutes, or until the biscuits turn golden brown and the filling is set.
- Cool and Garnish: Allow the biscuit cups to cool for 5 minutes in the pan before carefully removing them. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley if desired, then serve warm for the best flavor.
Notes
- These biscuit cups can be prepared ahead of time and reheated in the oven or microwave when ready to serve.
- For a spicier variation, try using spicy sausage or add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the mixture.
- These cups make a perfect option for breakfast, brunch gatherings, or as party appetizers.
