Ingredient Notes
Eggs ideally should be added at room temperature and whisked together. This will yield a fluffy result. I recommend brown organic, free range types because they have the richest flavor.
Refrigerated biscuits, Grands biscuits were used here which are larger than the traditional styles. If you cannot find this style then you would want to grab an extra can of “regular” so that the bread to filling ratio is proper.
Bacon is the meat we love to add into this but you could precook ground sausage or diced ham too and use that instead. If you have slices you would want to cook until it isn’t totally crispy but crisped and lightly browned if that makes sense.
Onions should be diced into small bits, I use a yellow onion but white would work too. This is optional and can be left out if you prefer however it is an easy way to add flavor and some texture into the “filling” of the dish.
Shredded cheddar cheese is what we use though other varieties would work like pepper Jack, or white. You can find dairy free options at the store now too which taste almost identical to the real thing. Salt and pepper are optional.
Greased bundt pan, large bowl to whisk ingredients in and a rubber spatula is needed for gently folding ingredients together are needed for the equipment.
Whether you’re looking for a breakfast savory one like this, or a really sweet version like our pumpkin monkey bread that is great for dessert.
Baking Tips
Always make sure you wait until you have a preheated oven before adding food. Spray the pan first before pouring mixture in so it slides out easily when done. It’s best to add as many add ins as possible and a great leftover ham recipe, or with chopped up air fryer bacon, even diced bell peppers would be good.
Remember that the egg will continue to cook a bit in the pan so once it is lightly golden brown on the top take it out to cool before slicing. 40 minutes works for our oven but 45 minutes would be max. You want those slices to stay in tact so allow it to cool at least 20 minutes before slicing.

FAQ
Not really. You want refrigerated biscuits to create a sort of egg, bacon and cheese monkey bread if you will. Grands is what I use so they are a bit larger and puff up into a bundt cake you slice. The scrambled eggs bake right into the bread and makes a fun brunch idea during the holidays.
I will add diced leftover ham into the mix after the holidays. You can dice green onions if you like as well and seasonings are totally up to you but you don’t need much. As far as other vegetables go you would want to saute them first, lay on paper towels to remove added moisture and fold into the mix.

This breakfast Bundt cake was sooo good. Had it Christmas morning at my Daughters with lots of Salsa. Really enjoyed it,thanks for sharing recipe 😊
oh so glad
I made this for the 1st time for a church fellowship. Substituting with sausage, a package and a half of the rolls ( 15 rolls ) and 8 eggs. It was a hit ! Several had asked for the recipe 🙂 Thank you for sharing !
so glad
It’s my first time to make a breakfast bundt cake and my family loved it! Will definitely make this again for sure
I used seasoned potato wedges instead of the biscuits. It was a bit too dry for me. Hubby said it was ok…Classmate said it was ok….but will use biscuits next time.
Yeah you need biscuits for sure
Can you use crescent rolls instead of biscuits?
I don’t think those would be adequate
I made this for some friends that came to stay with us! It was a hit. I added green peppers and red peppers. I used the real bacon crumbles instead of making bacon. I added a few more eggs and I won’t use the full two cans of biscuits but it was delicious as is. I just think I would like less bready and more egg. I am cooking again tomorrow. I premix everything but the biscuits. I will cut them in the morning and mix in just before I put in oven. Some hot sauce on table for seasoning was great as well. I will be making often. Easy and great.
Glad it was a keeper
