Make the filling

Break eggs, whisk and season with salt and black pepper. Next add butter to a saucepan on medium heat. Add the beaten eggs into the pan when the butter begins to melt.

Stir eggs to scramble then add the cooked sausages to the scrambled eggs just before it sets. Let it cool completely before using

When the filling has cooled down completely, open the Pillsbury biscuit dough to reveal the 8 biscuits dough.

Roll out each dough to about 4 cm circle. Then fill with cheese and the sausage and egg.

Bring the edges of the circle together to form a pouch then pinch to keep all the contents in place

What to serve with this recipe

• Fresh fruit, such as berries or sliced melon
• A side of yogurt or cottage cheese
• A hot cup of coffee or tea
• Additional toppings, such as avocado, salsa, or hot sauce

How to store and reheat

Let the biscuit bombs to cool completely before storing in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days

My preferred method to reheat these is the air fryer. This will help retain the flaky exterior of the biscuit bombs. Place in the air fryer and air fry at 350°F for 3 to 5 minutes or until heated through

Alternatively, microwave on high for 30 seconds to 1 minute or until heated through

Air frying Tips

• No need to preheat the air fryer
• I like to use flakey biscuit dough for this recipe however you can use the Pillsbury southern style or buttermilk biscuit dough for this.
• Don't overfill the biscuit bombs, you will find it difficult to close and it will likely burst open during cooking.
• Brushing the biscuit bombs with melted butter will help them brown and crisp up nicely in the air fryer.
• I recommend using a parchment paper to line the air fryer basket to prevent the dough from sticking.
