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.
Breakfast Monkey Bread
If you love this easy breakfast bundt cake you must try this gingerbread pumpkin bundt cake we’ve made too! We did this again with our bundt pan stuffing which looks much nicer than thrown in a bowl. 😉
There’s a video in the post showing you how we make this breakfast bread, follow that before you get started. Serve easy with a side of air fryer frozen tater tots for an over the top brunch!
When you’re done you should try our pressure cooker egg bites too for the ultimate morning, or make this in your pressure cooker. Follow our Instant Pot breakfast bundt cake for that one.
Can this be made the day before then reheated the day of?
I bought two cans of grands biscuits. Am I supposed to cook them first, then cut them. There are 8 biscuits in a can. Do I use both cans? I am 70 and have never bought a can of biscuits. Can’t wait to try this.
Cheers,
Maida
No you cut them into pieces raw and mix in the other ingredients and then bake
@Maida Belove McCarthy, do not cook biscuits mix everything together in a bowl then spread evenly into bunt pan
Thanks for the recipe!! I did half the biscuits, added 2 more eggs, sausage, green onions, and mushrooms in addition to the bacon. I also mixed up my cheeses: mozzarella, cheddar and quesadilla cheese blend. What a neat recipe. Super easy! Very adjustable. Will definitely make again!! Next time I’ll make white country gravy on the side.
Yeah, gravy sounds great with it too
Looks really delicious, I’m definitely going to try this. I make one similar without the biscuits. I use the same ingredients and pour mine into a pie crust.

I have used a bundt pan for our Thanksgiving stuffing recipe-comes out with crunchy sides and slices so nice for serving.
Can this be prepared the night before and baked in the morning?
I wouldn’t, the biscuits will become super soft and one big mush pile.
Makes sense. Thank you!
Would it be ok to leave out meat? I serving it for brunch and have several vegetarians.
Thanks
Yes
Made this for brunch today and yummy!!! I added two more eggs, no meat and a cup of shredded spinach!
A big hit for Mother’s Day brunch. Everyone loved it.
It came out of the pan just like the picture. Definitely a keeper
Oh yay glad it was a hit
What size pan is this recipe meant for? 🙂
I live in England. What can be used instead of biscuits! A bread roll?
