Sausage and Cheese Breakfast Bites
I had a box of buttermilk biscuit mix and didn't want just plain biscuits. So after looking through the odds and ends in my "fridge",I came up with this recipe.If desired brush tops of "bites" with melted margarine or butter. My son who is known on here by "Cylopsmaster" came up with the name for this recipe.Submitted to "ZAAR" on June 26th,2008.

Start your morning with these quick and easy Sausage and Cheese Breakfast Bites. Ready in just 20 minutes, they combine savory sage sausage, sharp cheddar, and a hint of spice for a delicious grab-and-go breakfast.
Ingredients
Makes 4 servings
- 1 buttermilk biscuit mix
- 1/2 water
- 1/2 sage sausage
- 1/2 sharp cheddar cheese
- 3/4 garlic powder
- 1/2 crushed red pepper flakes
Method
Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
While oven is heating, cook sausage over medium high heat, until lightly browned.
Drain and set aside.
In a medium sized bowl, mix together biscuit mix and water, until well combined.
Then add rest of ingredients, including drained sausage.
At this point the mixture will be thick and sticky.
Drop by heaping tablespoonfuls on ungreased baking sheet.
Bake for 10 minutes or until tops are golden brown, if desired brush with melted butter.
Cook's notes
- For extra flavor, brush the baked bites with melted butter immediately after removing from the oven.
- Use a cookie scoop for evenly sized, perfectly round bites.
- If you prefer a milder taste, reduce or omit the crushed red pepper flakes.
