• 1 sheet of puff pastry or refrigerated biscuit dough

3. Step-by-Step Instructions for Making Sausage Bites Recipe

Prepare the Sausage Mixture

In a mixing bowl, combine the ground sausage, grated cheese, chopped onion, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are evenly distributed.

Preheat the Oven or Air Fryer

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) or set your Compact 6-in-1 Digital Air Fryer to the same temperature for baking and air frying options.

Wrap the Sausage Mixture

Roll out puff pastry or biscuit dough on a clean surface. Cut into squares roughly 3 inches wide. Spoon a small amount of the sausage mixture onto each square, then carefully fold or wrap the dough around the filling to seal it securely.

Bake or Air Fry

Place the wrapped sausage bites on a parchment-lined baking sheet or in the air fryer basket. Brush the tops with beaten egg for a golden finish. Bake in the oven for 20-25 minutes or air fry at 375°F (190°C) for about 15 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.

Serving and Garnishing

Once cooked, allow the sausage bites to cool slightly. Garnish with fresh herbs if desired, and serve warm for the best flavor experience. These savory sausage snacks are perfect for breakfast, brunch, or even as a party appetizer.

4. Storage Tips for Make-Ahead Breakfast Bites

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, simply warm them in the microwave or refry in the air fryer for a few minutes to regain their crispy exterior. These make-ahead breakfast bites are ideal for busy mornings, as they can be prepared in advance and enjoyed on the go!
