3-INGREDIENT SAUSAGE CHEDDAR BREAKFAST SQUARES RECIPE
These easy sausage cheddar breakfast squares combine seasoned pork sausage, sharp cheddar cheese, and biscuit baking mix in one golden-brown breakfast bake. They're tender inside, lightly crisp around the edges, and perfect for making ahead.
Equipment
- 9×9-inch baking dish
- Large mixing bowl
- measuring cups
- Parchment paper
- meat thermometer
Ingredients
- 1 pound uncooked bulk pork breakfast sausage
- 2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 2 cups all-purpose biscuit baking mix such as Bisquick
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F. Line a 9×9-inch baking dish with parchment paper and lightly grease any exposed areas.
- Place the uncooked breakfast sausage into a large mixing bowl. Break it into smaller pieces.
- Add the shredded cheddar cheese and mix until evenly distributed.
- Gradually add the biscuit baking mix. Continue mixing until all the dry ingredients are incorporated and the mixture holds together when pressed.
- Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish and press it into an even layer.
- Bake for 35 to 40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the internal temperature in the center reaches at least 160°F.
- Remove from the oven and allow the bake to rest for ten minutes.
- Lift from the pan, slice into 16 squares, and serve warm.
Notes
- Use regular breakfast sausage for the best moisture and texture.
- Do not precook the sausage for this version of the recipe.
- Freshly shredded sharp cheddar provides excellent flavor and melting.
- Avoid packing the biscuit baking mix when measuring.
- If the top browns too quickly, cover loosely with foil until the center is cooked.
- Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to four days or freeze for up to two months for best quality.
- Reheat cooked leftovers to 165°F before serving.
