Ingredients
Scale
biscuit dough
- 1 can (8 oz) refrigerated biscuit dough (flaky style works best)
Filling
- 1/2 lb (8 oz) breakfast sausage, cooked and crumbled
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or your favorite cheese)
- 1/4 cup cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/4 teaspoon paprika (optional, for extra flavor)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Garnish
- Fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease or lightly spray a 12-cup muffin tin with nonstick spray.
- Cook Sausage: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the breakfast sausage until browned and crumbled. Drain any excess grease and set aside to cool slightly.
- Mix Filling: In a medium bowl, combine cooked sausage, shredded cheddar cheese, softened cream cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika (if using), salt, and pepper. Stir until well combined.
- Prepare Biscuit Cups: Open the biscuit dough can and separate the biscuits. Flatten each biscuit into a round disc large enough to line the bottom and sides of each muffin cup.
- Form Cups and Fill: Press each biscuit disc into the muffin tin, creating a cup shape. Spoon the sausage and cheese mixture into each biscuit cup, pressing gently to pack the filling.
- Bake: Bake the filled biscuit cups in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the biscuit dough is golden and cooked through and the filling is bubbly and lightly browned on top.
- Cool and Garnish: Remove from oven and let cool slightly before serving. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley if desired.
Notes
- Using flaky-style biscuit dough helps create a crispier, flakier cup.
- You can substitute cheddar cheese with other cheeses like Monterey Jack or mozzarella.
- Drain sausage grease well to avoid soggy biscuit cups.
- Optional paprika adds a subtle smoky flavor to the filling.
- These cups can be made ahead and reheated gently before serving.
