Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb Ground breakfast sausage
- 2 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 2 cups Shredded cheddar cheese
- 4 oz Cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 1 tsp Baking powder
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 0.25 tsp Black pepper
- 2 tbsp Chopped parsley (optional, for garnish)
- 1 Cooking spray or parchment paper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease with cooking spray.
In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground breakfast sausage, breaking it into small pieces, until fully browned and cooked through. Drain any excess grease and set aside to cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, garlic, shredded cheddar cheese, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.
Add the cooled sausage to the cheese mixture and stir until evenly distributed.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour and baking powder. Gradually add the dry ingredients into the sausage and cheese mixture, stirring until a dough-like consistency forms.
Using your hands or a small cookie scoop, shape the mixture into 1-inch balls and place them on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 1 inch apart.
Bake the sausage bites in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
Optional: Garnish with chopped parsley for a pop of color before serving.
Let the sausage bites cool for 5 minutes before transferring them to a serving platter. Serve warm and enjoy!
