Boursin Cheese Sausage Bites: Garlic Herb Appetizer Recipe

Boursin Cream Cheese Sausage Balls – loaded with flavor from sausage, Boursin garlic & herb cheese, shredded mozzarella, cream cheese, and Bisquick. These bake up golden and can be made ahead or frozen for a quick appetizer or snack.

Bisquick Sausage Balls made with Boursin Cheese

Boursin Sausage Balls take the classic sausage ball to the next level. The garlicky, herbed flavor of Boursin blends with cream cheese and mozzarella for a rich, savory bite, while Bisquick keeps them tender. They’re ideal for game day, parties, or an easy snack—consider doubling the batch if you’re feeding a crowd.

How to Make Boursin Sausage Balls

This recipe is simple and fast. Combine ground breakfast sausage, shredded mozzarella, a package of Boursin garlic & herb cheese, cream cheese, and Bisquick in a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Mix on low until everything is evenly combined.

Scoop the mixture with a small cookie scoop into 1-inch balls and arrange them on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake in a preheated oven until golden brown, about 18–20 minutes. Garnish with chopped parsley and serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce.

Helpful Tips & Frequently Asked Questions

• I use Jimmy Dean Hot Breakfast Sausage, but any breakfast or Italian sausage works well. Turkey sausage is a good lower-calorie option.
• Use gluten-free Bisquick to make a gluten-free version; always check product labels. Boursin cheese is gluten-free.
• Swap cheeses if you prefer—sharp cheddar, pepper jack, or an Italian blend are all tasty alternatives.
• Add garlic powder, herb & garlic seasoning, or a pinch of cayenne for extra flavor.
• The sausage mixture will be sticky; resist adding extra Bisquick. A cookie scoop helps form uniform 1-inch balls.
• If you don’t have a stand mixer, mix everything by hand in a large bowl until combined.
• Yes—you can form the balls in advance and refrigerate until ready to bake.
• Freezing: place uncooked balls on a parchment-lined baking sheet and flash-freeze. Transfer to a freezer bag. Bake from frozen, adding a few minutes to the time; no thawing required.
• Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge. Reheat in the microwave or air fryer.

What to Serve with Boursin Sausage Balls

These sausage balls pair well with many dipping sauces and sides:

• Warm marinara or pizza sauce for an Italian-inspired option.
• Classic creamy ranch, barbecue sauce, or tangy honey mustard for dipping.
• For some heat, try chili sauce or sriracha mayo.
• Build a party platter with cheese and crackers, or serve alongside fresh vegetables like celery, carrots, and cherry tomatoes for contrast.
