Handy Kitchen Tools
How to Make Breakfast Biscuit Poppers
Preheat the oven to 325°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper then set it aside.
In a small skillet, over medium heat, cook the breakfast sausage for 5 to 6 minutes or until no longer pink, stirring and breaking up the sausage as it cooks.
Remove the sausage from the skillet and drain off any excess grease then set the sausage aside.
In a small bowl, whisk together the eggs, salt, and black pepper until combined.
Place the skillet back over medium heat, and pour the beaten eggs into the pan.
Cook for 3 to 4 minutes, stirring regularly, until scrambled and cooked through.
Using a rolling pin, roll out the biscuits on the baking sheet until they are flattened.
Into the center of each biscuit, leaving room all around, add a spoon of cooked sausage, cooked eggs, and a sprinkle of cheese. Reserve some cheese for topping the biscuits.
Fold the sides of the biscuits over the filling, pressing the edges together to form a ball.
Place the ball seam side down onto the baking sheet.
Sprinkle the tops of each ball with a bit of cheese and parsley.
Bake for 20 to 30 minutes, until golden brown and the biscuit, is cooked through.
Remove from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes before serving.
Frequently Asked Questions
For this recipe, I used Pilsbury Grands biscuits. You can use any brand or type of canned biscuit, but I do recommend using a larger option to fit all of the ingredients inside easily.
If you want to take a few extra steps, you can also make homemade biscuits. If you go this route, use a large biscuit cutter to cut the dough into shape.
These are good for 2-3 days in the refrigerator. Of course, they always taste the best fresh but can certainly be reheated over a few days. To help the poppers stay as fresh as possible for as long as possible, you will want to keep them stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator. I like to keep a paper towel underneath them and on top to help absorb any moisture so they aren't soggy when you reheat them.
Yes, you can absolutely make the breakfast biscuit poppers to freeze. These can be prepared as directed, then cooled completely before storing in an airtight container in the freezer. You can also assemble up to baking, then flash freeze them on a baking sheet before popping them into a freezer storage bag or container. Just drop them onto a baking sheet and bake when ready to serve, or thaw overnight in the refrigerator before baking. They are good in the freezer for up to 3 months.
These sausage and cheese breakfast biscuit poppers can be eaten as is or you can dip them into your favorite sauces. You can use things like marinara, salsa, or hot sauce. Or, you can even make some country gravy to dip them in as a unique spin on biscuits and gravy.
Making these in the air fryer is easy. Most of the steps are the same as making the breakfast biscuit poppers in the oven. When it is time to bake the poppers, you will use the directions in the recipe card to make them in your air fryer. Whether you decide to make these sausage biscuit poppers in the oven or air fryer, they will turn out delicious.

Variations of Fillings for Biscuit Poppers
In this version, I have used breakfast sausage, eggs, and cheese for the poppers. You can change what you add to the inside to suit your own preferences of flavors. Below are a few different options that are delicious in this recipe.
- Use bacon, ham, Canadian bacon, chicken sausage, turkey sausage, or polish sausage to replace the pork breakfast sausage.
- Swap cheeses for mozzarella, gouda, fontina, Colby Jack, or a blend of cheese you prefer.
- Add in sauteed vegetables such as onions, bell peppers, mushrooms, zucchini, squash, broccoli, cauliflower, or jalapenos.
- Replace the eggs with seasoned crumbled tofu or a vegetarian meat sausage or bacon option.
Breakfast fillings aren't the only thing you can put into biscuits like this. Get creative and add things like taco filling, meatballs, or even shredded buffalo chicken and cheese!
