Sausage Hashbrown Bites Ingredients

• Flour - all-purpose flour
• Baking powder
• Salt
• Butter - salted butter, melted
• Sausage - mild breakfast sausage
• Cheese - grated Colby-jack cheese
• Hash browns - frozen hash browns, thawed
• Cream cheese - sliced and softened
• Parsley - finely chopped parsley

Colby-Jack cheese is a mild cheese that is a classic combination of Colby and Monterey Jack cheese. You can purchase marbled Colby-Jack cheese or make your own by mixing equal parts of Colby and Monterey Jack cheeses. You could also use another mild cheese like Pepper Jack, Cheddar Cheese, or Gouda 

Frozen hashbrowns are essentially just grated potatoes. You could use frozen tater tots as well as shredded potatoes to make sausage hashbrown bites. 

Bacon or a few diced jalapeños would make tasty additions to this breakfast recipe. You could also mix in additional vegetables like diced tomatoes, diced onions, or green bell pepper.

How to Make Sausage Hashbrown Bites

FIRST STEP: Preheat oven to 400°F. Line two cookie sheets with parchment paper and set them aside.

SECOND STEP: In the bowl of a standing mixer or large mixing bowl, mix together flour, baking powder, and salt.

THIRD STEP: Drizzle melted butter into flour mixture while the mixer is running to form a crumbled mixture.

FOURTH STEP: Add grated cheese, sausage, hash browns, and cream cheese and beat until fully mixed.  Be sure to scrape the sides and bottom of the bowl with a spatula and beat a bit longer to make sure all the flour from the bottom of the bowl has been incorporated.

FIFTH STEP: Use a cookie scoop or tablespoon to scoop balls of the mixture.  Place scoops 1” apart on prepared cookie sheets.  You can roll the balls in your hands to make them more smooth and compact, but this isn’t necessary.

SIXTH STEP: Bake for 25 minutes or until lightly browned. 

SEVENTH STEP: Remove from oven and serve hot with maple syrup.  Garnish with a bit of finely chopped parsley.
