These Sausage and Cream Cheese Biscuit Bites quickly became my go-to whenever there was a big game or holiday breakfast coming up. Each little bite is loaded with creamy sausage filling wrapped in a soft buttery biscuit making them perfect for any gathering or for grabbing on busy mornings.
I remember making these for a family brunch one year and people hovered around the kitchen just waiting for the first batch to come out of the oven. Now they disappear just as fast whenever I make them for friends.
Ingredients
- Bulk pork sausage: This is the heart of the flavor Try to pick a quality sausage with plenty of seasoning and not too much filler
- Cream cheese: This gives the filling its creamy dreamy texture Let it come to room temperature to mix smoothly
- Worcestershire sauce: Adds a savory depth and subtle sharpness Choose a brand with balanced flavor not too salty
- Sharp cheddar cheese: Brings gooey melt and lots of cheesy tang Look for freshly shredded for best melt
- Flaky refrigerated biscuit dough: These form the perfect golden vessel The ones labeled flaky or buttery work great and split apart easily
Step-by-Step Instructions
- Preheat the Oven:
- Set your oven temperature to 375 degrees Fahrenheit just before you start gathering your ingredients. Spray your mini muffin pans with a light coat of nonstick spray so nothing sticks after baking.
- Cook the Sausage:
- Place the sausage in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat. Use a wooden spoon to break it up well as it cooks. When there are no more pink spots and the sausage is crumbly and browned pour off any extra grease but do not pat the sausage dry.
- Prepare the Filling:
- In a big mixing bowl add the warm sausage to the softened cream cheese sprinkle in the Worcestershire sauce and shredded cheddar. Use a sturdy spoon to really mash and fold the mixture together until everything looks even with no big streaks of cream cheese left.
- Prepare the Biscuits:
- One at a time open your biscuit cans and peel each biscuit in half horizontally. This makes twenty smaller rounds. Gently press each round into a mini muffin cup and push it up the sides you want a little well in the center for the filling.
- Fill the Biscuit Cups:
- Spoon a generous mound of the sausage cheese mixture into each biscuit well. You do not want them flat on top so do not press down.
- Bake:
- Set your filled muffin pans in the oven. Bake for twelve to fifteen minutes or until the tops of the biscuits are deeply golden and the edges look crisp.
- Serve and Enjoy:
- Let the biscuit bites cool in the pan for about five minutes so the cheese can set slightly before removing. Use a butter knife to gently lift them out and serve warm.

Sharp cheddar is my favorite part of these bites because it gets a little crispy on top and stays melty inside. My little brother asks for these every single Christmas morning and I love watching everyone reach for thirds before the platter is half empty.
Storage Tips
Once completely cool store extra biscuit bites in an airtight container in the fridge for up to four days. To freeze arrange the baked bites on a tray and freeze solid then move to a zip top bag. Warm up leftovers in the oven or air fryer for best texture they crisp back up beautifully.
Ingredient Substitutions
If you like things spicy try a hot breakfast sausage or add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the filling. Pepper jack cheese is also a fun swap if you want a little heat. Turkey sausage works just fine if you want something leaner just make sure to drain any wetness before mixing with the cheese.
Serving Suggestions
Pile these bites on a big platter for brunch along with fruit or scrambled eggs. For parties serve with a dipping sauce plenty of folks like honey mustard or a spicy ranch on the side. They are also perfect tucked into a lunchbox the next day.

Cultural or Historical Context
Biscuit bites like these have roots in southern American breakfasts where sausage and biscuits are classic comfort food. This recipe gives you the same flavors in mini easy to share form which is why they have become so popular at potlucks and gatherings in the South and beyond.
