Sniblings
Sniblings are cheesy, savory sausage and cream cheese-filled biscuit rolls that bake into delicious, flaky snacks perfect for parties, brunch, or casual gatherings.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Brown the pork sausage in a skillet over medium heat.
- Drain the cooked sausage well to remove excess fat.
- Melt the cream cheese into the sausage mixture, stirring until combined. Set aside.
- Prepare biscuit dough according to package directions and roll it flat on a lightly floured surface.
- Spread the sausage and cream cheese mixture evenly over the flattened dough.
- Roll the dough up tightly like a jelly roll to form a log.
- Slice the rolled dough into about 12 even pieces.
- Place the slices flat on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Bake at 400°F (200°C) for 10 minutes, or until golden brown.
Tips & Substitutions
For a lighter version, you can substitute turkey sausage for pork sausage. If you prefer a bit more flavor, consider adding herbs like thyme or rosemary to the cream cheese mixture. To achieve the best texture, ensure your biscuit dough is rolled out evenly. You can also use store-bought puff pastry instead of biscuit dough for a flakier texture.
Serving Suggestions
Serve Sniblings warm as a delicious appetizer or snack. They pair wonderfully with a side of Honey-Dijon Pork Tenderloin for a hearty meal. For a complete brunch, consider serving them alongside an Egg Scramble and a fresh salad. A dipping sauce like ranch or marinara can also enhance the flavor.
Storage & Reheating
Leftover Sniblings should be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place them on a baking sheet and warm in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes, or until heated through. Avoid using a microwave, as it can make the dough soggy.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make Sniblings ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the sausage and cream cheese mixture in advance and assemble the rolls. Store the rolled dough in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours before baking. Just remember to let it come to room temperature before baking for even cooking.
What can I use instead of cream cheese?
If you're looking for dairy-free options, you can substitute cream cheese with vegan cream cheese or a blend of silken tofu and nutritional yeast for a similar creamy texture. This will provide a delicious alternative while keeping the recipe suitable for various dietary needs.
Can I freeze Sniblings?
Absolutely! You can freeze unbaked Sniblings. Simply slice the rolled dough, place the pieces on a baking sheet to freeze until solid, then transfer them to a freezer bag. When ready to bake, no need to thaw; just add a couple of extra minutes to the baking time.
