Breakfast Bundt Cake

Our recipe for bacon egg and cheese breakfast bundt cake with biscuits tastes amazing!! If you’ve never thought of making a bundt cake breakfast it is sure to be a hit during the holidays. A pretty way to present your favorite items to take brunch on the go.

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.

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.

What else can you add into bacon cheese bundt cake?

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.

Can you make a breakfast bundt cake with crescent rolls?

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.
