Tex-Mex Breakfast Bombs Ingredients

1 can (16 oz) refrigerated biscuit dough (8 biscuits)
½ pound breakfast sausage (spicy or mild), cooked and crumbled
4 large eggs
½ cup shredded cheddar cheese
½ cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
¼ cup diced red bell pepper
¼ cup diced green onion
1 jalapeño, seeded and diced (optional for extra heat)
1 teaspoon taco seasoning
Salt and pepper, to taste
1 tablespoon olive oil or melted butter (for brushing)

How to Make Tex-Mex Breakfast Bombs

Step 1: Prep Your Ingredients

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease or line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a skillet, cook the breakfast sausage until browned, then drain any excess fat. In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs, season with salt and pepper, and scramble them in a nonstick pan over medium heat until just set.

Step 2: Make the Tex-Mex Filling

In a mixing bowl, combine the cooked sausage, scrambled eggs, cheddar cheese, Monterey Jack cheese, red bell pepper, green onion, jalapeño, and taco seasoning. Stir until well mixed and the cheese starts to melt slightly.

Step 3: Assemble the Breakfast Bombs

Separate the biscuit dough into 8 rounds. Flatten each round into a 4-inch circle. Place about 2 tablespoons of filling in the center of each circle. Carefully pull the edges of the dough around the filling and pinch to seal, forming a ball. Place seam-side down on your prepared baking sheet.

Step 4: Bake to Perfection

Brush each bomb with olive oil or melted butter for a golden finish. Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until the biscuit dough is golden brown and cooked through.

Step 5: Serve and Enjoy!

Let the Tex-Mex Breakfast Bombs cool for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy with your favorite salsa, hot sauce, or a dollop of sour cream.

Notes for Making Tex-Mex Breakfast Bombs

For an extra cheesy bite, add a small cube of cheese in the center of each bomb before sealing.
Make your own homemade biscuit dough for a truly from-scratch experience.
Don't overfill, or the bombs may burst during baking—keep fillings slightly under 2 tablespoons per bomb.

Tex-Mex Breakfast Bombs Variations

Vegetarian: Skip the sausage and add black beans, sautéed spinach, or extra peppers.
Loaded Bacon Bombs: Swap sausage for crispy bacon and add a sprinkle of chives.
Spicy Chorizo: Use cooked chorizo sausage for a bold, smoky kick.
