Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb uncooked breakfast sausage
- 4 cups (32 oz / 907 g) frozen shredded hash browns
- 1 ½ cups (170 g) shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 ½ cups (180 g) biscuit baking mix (Bisquick)
- 8 oz (226 g) cream cheese, softened
Instructions
- Preparation: Coat a baking sheet with cooking spray or parchment paper and heat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Mixing: Combine cream cheese, biscuit mix, cheddar cheese, hash brown potatoes, and breakfast sausage in a large bowl, blending until ingredients are thoroughly integrated.
- Forming: Mold the mixture into compact 1.5-inch spheres, compressing firmly to maintain structural integrity.
- Positioning: Arrange the hashbrown bites on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each piece for even heat distribution.
- Baking: Roast in the preheated oven for 18-22 minutes, midway through rotating the sheet to achieve consistent golden-brown exterior and complete internal cooking.
- Resting and Serving: Allow bites to settle for 3-5 minutes post-baking, then transfer to a serving platter while warm, ready to be enjoyed as a savory breakfast or brunch treat.
Notes
- Bind Ingredients Tightly: Pack mixture firmly to prevent crumbling and ensure compact, unified bites during baking.
- Rotate Baking Sheet: Midway through cooking, turn the sheet to guarantee even browning and consistent heating across all bites.
- Rest Before Serving: Allow 3-5 minutes cooling time to help bites set and become easier to handle without falling apart.
- Cheese Selection Matters: Use freshly shredded cheddar for better melting and richer flavor compared to pre-packaged shredded cheese.
