Start your day with Crispy Breakfast Pork & Cheese Bombs—loaded with flavor and indulgence for a breakfast that wins every time.
Ingredients
- • ground pork: 1 pound
- • cheddar cheese, shredded: 1 cup
- • cream cheese, softened: 4 ounces
- • jalapeño, finely diced: 1
- • green onions, chopped: 2
- • garlic powder: 1 teaspoon
- • smoked paprika: 1 teaspoon
- • salt: 1/2 teaspoon
- • black pepper: 1/2 teaspoon
- • refrigerated biscuit dough: 1 can (8 biscuits)
- • panko breadcrumbs: 1 cup
- • eggs, beaten: 2
- • vegetable oil: for frying
Instructions
- 1 Start by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C) to keep the bombs warm after frying.
- 2 In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground pork until browned and fully cooked, about 6-8 minutes. Drain excess fat if necessary.
- 3 Transfer the cooked pork to a mixing bowl. Add cheddar cheese, cream cheese, diced jalapeño, chopped green onions, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined and the cheese has melted into the pork.
- 4 On a clean surface, flatten each biscuit dough piece into a circle. Place a heaping tablespoon of the pork mixture in the center of each dough circle. Gather the edges of the dough and pinch them together to seal, forming a ball.
- 5 Dip each ball in the beaten eggs, then roll in panko breadcrumbs, ensuring an even coating.
- 6 In a deep frying pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Fry the pork and cheese bombs until golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes per side. Work in batches if necessary.
- 7 Transfer the fried bombs to a baking sheet and place in the preheated oven to keep warm while you finish frying the remaining batches.
Serving Suggestions
- • Serve these crispy pork and cheese bombs with a side of tangy salsa or a creamy avocado dip to complement the rich flavors. A refreshing fruit salad or a simple green salad with a zesty vinaigrette would balance the meal beautifully. For beverages, consider a robust coffee or a refreshing iced tea with lemon to contrast the savory richness of the dish.
Storage Tips
Store any leftover bombs in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. To reheat, place them in a preheated 350°F (175°C) oven for 10-12 minutes until heated through and crispy again. Avoid microwaving to maintain the crunchy texture.
