Kickstart your morning with these indulgent bacon and sausage breakfast bombs stuffed with cheesy jalapeño grits. Truly an easy breakfast win!
Ingredients
- • breakfast sausage: 1 pound
- • thick-cut bacon: 8 slices
- • quick-cooking grits: 1/2 cup
- • water: 2 cups
- • sharp cheddar cheese, shredded: 1 cup
- • pickled jalapeños, chopped: 1/4 cup
- • butter: 2 tablespoons
- • salt: 1/2 teaspoon
- • black pepper: 1/4 teaspoon
- • garlic powder: 1/4 teaspoon
- • smoked paprika: 1/4 teaspoon
Instructions
- 1 Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- 2 In a medium saucepan, bring water to a boil. Stir in the grits, reduce heat to low, and cook, stirring frequently, until thickened, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in butter, cheddar cheese, jalapeños, salt, pepper, and garlic powder until the cheese is melted and everything is well combined.
- 3 Divide the sausage into 8 equal portions. Flatten each portion into a disc. Spoon about a tablespoon of the cheese grits mixture onto the center of each sausage disc. Carefully fold the sausage around the grits to form a ball, ensuring the grits are completely enclosed.
- 4 Wrap each sausage ball with a slice of bacon, securing it with a toothpick if necessary. Sprinkle each with smoked paprika for an extra smoky flavor.
- 5 Place the bacon-wrapped sausage balls on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the bacon is crispy and the sausage is cooked through.
- 6 Allow to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy the gooey, spicy, and savory goodness!
Serving Suggestions
- • These breakfast bombs are perfect on their own, but why stop there? Serve them alongside a refreshing fruit salad to balance the rich flavors or with a side of buttery toast for an even more indulgent experience. A glass of freshly squeezed orange juice or a frothy cappuccino would complement the savory, spicy notes beautifully, rounding out a breakfast that's both hearty and satisfying.
Storage Tips
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place them on a baking sheet and warm in a 350°F (175°C) oven for about 10 minutes, or until heated through. This method will help retain the crispy bacon exterior while ensuring the center stays gooey and delicious.
