Ingredients
- • Ground beef: 1 pound
- • Italian sausage (casings removed): 1/2 pound
- • Fresh parsley, chopped: 1/4 cup
- • Grated Parmesan cheese: 1/3 cup
- • Garlic powder: 1 teaspoon
- • Onion powder: 1 teaspoon
- • Salt: 1 teaspoon
- • Black pepper: 1/2 teaspoon
- • Crescent roll dough: 2 cans (8 rolls each)
- • Shredded mozzarella cheese: 1 cup
- • Butter: 2 tablespoons, melted
- • Fresh basil, chopped: 2 tablespoons
- • Cream cheese: 4 ounces, softened
- • Heavy cream: 1/4 cup
- • Red pepper flakes: 1/2 teaspoon
- • Olive oil: 1 tablespoon
Instructions
- 1 Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- 2 In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, Italian sausage, parsley, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly distributed.
- 3 Form the meat mixture into 12 evenly-sized meatballs. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat, and brown the meatballs on all sides until cooked through, about 8 minutes. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
- 4 Roll out the crescent roll dough and separate it into triangles. Place a meatball in the center of each triangle, sprinkle with mozzarella cheese, and fold the dough around the meatball, sealing the edges.
- 5 Place the wrapped meatballs seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Brush the tops with melted butter and bake in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes, or until golden brown.
- 6 While the bombs are baking, prepare the herb cheese drizzle by combining cream cheese, heavy cream, basil, and red pepper flakes in a small saucepan. Heat over low heat, stirring constantly until the cheese is melted and the mixture is smooth.
- 7 Once the breakfast bombs are finished baking, drizzle with the herb cheese sauce and serve immediately.
Serving Suggestions
- • These savory breakfast bombs are a complete meal on their own, but you can pair them with a simple side salad of mixed greens or a refreshing fruit salad to balance the richness. A glass of freshly squeezed orange juice or a robust cup of coffee complements the hearty flavors perfectly. For an extra touch of indulgence, consider serving these bombs with a side of crispy bacon or sausage links. The combination of textures and flavors will make your breakfast spread unforgettable.
Storage Tips
To store leftovers, allow the breakfast bombs to cool completely, then place them in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 3 days. To reheat, place them on a baking sheet in a 350°F (175°C) oven for 10 minutes, or until heated through. For a quicker option, you can microwave them on a microwave-safe plate for about 1-2 minutes, but note that the pastry may not be as crispy.
