These Bacon Egg Breakfast Biscuit Bombs are a tasty treat that brings breakfast bliss! Soft biscuit dough wraps around crispy bacon and fluffy eggs, making each bite deliciously satisfying.
Honestly, it’s hard to resist these little goodies. They’re perfect for busy mornings or lazy weekends. I love making a big batch to enjoy throughout the week—so good! 😋
Key Ingredients & Substitutions
Biscuit Dough: The flaky layers type works best for these bombs, but you can use homemade biscuit dough if you prefer. Alternatively, crescent roll dough can be a fun twist, giving a different flavor and texture.
Eggs: Fresh eggs provide the best flavor. If you’re looking to cut cholesterol, you can use egg whites or egg substitutes. Scrambled tofu is another great option for a vegan variant.
Bacon: Regular bacon adds fantastic flavor, but turkey bacon or even crispy sausage can be good replacements if you’re looking for a lighter option. For a vegetarian version, consider using mushrooms or tempeh as a bacon substitute.
Cheddar Cheese: Cheddar adds that perfect cheesy essence. If you want something lighter, go for reduced-fat cheese or even a dairy-free cheese for a vegan option. Pepper jack can add some spice!
How Do You Achieve the Perfectly Cooked Scrambled Eggs?
Cooking scrambled eggs is key for this recipe. You want them fluffy and moist, not overcooked. Here’s how to do it:
- After beating the eggs with milk, add them to the heated skillet over medium-low heat.
- Stir gently with a spatula, pushing the eggs from the edges into the center.
- Let the eggs sit briefly between stirs, allowing moisture to build.
- Remove from heat when they look slightly undercooked—the residual heat will finish cooking them.
Taking your time with the eggs will ensure they’re light and fluffy, providing a perfect filling for your biscuit bombs!
Bacon Egg Breakfast Biscuit Bombs
Ingredients You’ll Need:
- 1 can (16.3 oz) refrigerated breakfast biscuit dough (such as flaky layers type)
- 6 large eggs
- 1/4 cup milk
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 8 slices bacon
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 tablespoons butter or oil for cooking eggs
- Optional garnish: chopped fresh parsley or chives
How Much Time Will You Need?
This recipe will take about 15 minutes to prepare and 15-20 minutes to bake, totaling around 30-35 minutes from start to finish. Perfect for a quick breakfast or brunch treat!
Step-by-Step Instructions:
1. Preheat the Oven:
Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). This will ensure your biscuit bombs bake evenly and come out perfectly golden brown.
2. Cook the Bacon:
In a skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon until it’s nice and crispy. Once cooked, place the bacon on paper towels to drain the grease. Let it cool, then chop it into small pieces and set aside.
3. Prepare the Eggs:
In a mixing bowl, crack the large eggs and add the milk, salt, and pepper. Beat the mixture until well combined. In the same skillet you used for the bacon, add butter or oil over medium-low heat, then pour in the egg mixture. Stir occasionally, cooking gently until the eggs are scrambled and just set but still moist. Remove from heat.
4. Assemble the Bombs:
Take each piece of biscuit dough and gently stretch it into a flat round shape. In the center of each biscuit, place a spoonful of the scrambled eggs, followed by some chopped bacon and a sprinkle of cheddar cheese.
5. Seal the Biscuit Bombs:
Carefully fold the edges of the biscuit dough up and around the filling, pinching the seams tightly to seal. Make sure they’re completely closed to keep all the deliciousness inside!
6. Bake:
Place the prepared biscuit bombs seam side down on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. If you like, you can top them with any leftover cheese and more chopped bacon for extra flavor. Bake in your preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes, or until they’re golden brown and cooked through.
7. Serve and Enjoy:
Once baked, remove the biscuit bombs from the oven and let them cool slightly. If you’d like, garnish with fresh parsley or chives before serving. They’re best enjoyed warm, paired with your favorite breakfast sauces or syrups.
Enjoy your savory Bacon Egg Breakfast Biscuit Bombs—perfect for starting your day off right!
Can I Use Different Types of Cheese?
Absolutely! While cheddar is delicious, you can experiment with other types of cheese like pepper jack for a bit of spice, or mozzarella for a milder flavor. Just make sure it melts well!
Can I Prepare the Filling Ahead of Time?
Yes, you can! Feel free to scramble the eggs and cook the bacon in advance. Store them in airtight containers in the fridge for up to 2 days. Just let them come to room temperature before assembling the biscuits.
How Do I Store Leftovers?
Store any leftover biscuit bombs in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. To reheat, simply pop them in the microwave or warm them in the oven until heated through.
Can I Freeze These Biscuit Bombs?
Yes, these biscuit bombs can be frozen! After baking, let them cool completely, then place them in a freezer-safe container or zip-top freezer bag. They will last up to 2 months. Reheat directly from the freezer in the oven at 350°F until warmed through.
