These Bacon Egg Breakfast Biscuit Bombs are the perfect way to start your day! Flaky biscuit dough wraps up crispy bacon and fluffy scrambled eggs for a tasty treat.
They’re so easy to make, you might want to enjoy them every morning! I love popping them in the oven and having a warm breakfast ready in no time. Just don’t blame me if you end up eating more than one! 😄
Key Ingredients & Substitutions
Biscuit Dough: A can of refrigerated biscuit dough makes this recipe super easy. If you want a homemade touch, you can use homemade biscuit dough instead. Just keep the texture similar!
Eggs: Six large eggs give a nice fluffy filling. For a lighter option, consider using egg whites or egg substitutes. They work great and taste delicious too!
Bacon: Regular bacon adds great flavor. However, turkey bacon or veggie bacon can be used for a healthier alternative. You’ll still get that nice crunch!
Cheddar Cheese: I love sharp cheddar for its strong flavor. If you aren’t a fan, mozzarella or pepper jack cheese are great substitutes for a different twist.
How Do I Ensure the Filling Stays Inside the Biscuit Bombs?
Sealing the biscuit bombs is crucial to keep the filling inside while baking. After adding your filling, make sure to pinch the edges of the biscuit dough together tightly. It can help to fold the dough over the filling and twist it a bit to make sure it’s secure.
- Make sure you don’t overfill, as this can make sealing harder.
- Try rolling the biscuit gently after sealing to form a perfect ball shape.
With a little care in sealing, you’ll have perfectly packed breakfast bombs full of delicious flavors!
How to Make Bacon Egg Breakfast Biscuit Bombs
Ingredients You’ll Need:
- 1 can (16 oz) refrigerated biscuit dough (about 8 biscuits)
- 6 large eggs
- 1/4 cup milk
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 8 slices bacon
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 tablespoon butter or oil (for scrambling eggs)
How Much Time Will You Need?
This recipe takes about 10-15 minutes for prep and another 15-18 minutes for baking, so plan for around 30-35 minutes total. It’s a quick and tasty breakfast option that’s perfect for busy mornings!
Step-by-Step Instructions:
1. Preheat and Prepare:
Start by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). While it heats, line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat—this will help prevent sticking.
2. Cook the Bacon:
In a skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon until it’s crispy. Once done, transfer it to paper towels to drain excess grease. After it cools, chop the bacon into small pieces. Feel free to save a few pieces for topping later if you like!
3. Scramble the Eggs:
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper. Melt the butter in the same skillet over medium heat, and scramble the egg mixture until just set but still moist. Take it off the heat and set aside.
4. Prepare the Biscuit Dough:
Take each biscuit from the can and flatten it on a clean surface to make a rough 4-inch circle. This will be the wrapper for your delicious filling!
5. Assemble the Filling:
In the center of each biscuit round, place a spoonful of the scrambled eggs. Top with some chopped bacon and a sprinkle of shredded cheddar cheese. Be careful not to overfill—you want to keep them all sealed up tight!
6. Seal the Bombs:
Carefully bring up the edges of the biscuit dough around the filling, pinching them together to seal and form a ball. Make sure they’re well-sealed so the good stuff doesn’t leak out while baking.
7. Place on Baking Sheet:
Put the sealed biscuit bombs seam-side down on your prepared baking sheet. This will keep them from falling apart while they bake.
8. Add Some Extra Toppings:
If you want, sprinkle a bit more shredded cheese and any reserved bacon pieces on top of each biscuit ball for a delicious finishing touch!
9. Bake Them Up:
Pop the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 15-18 minutes, or until the biscuit dough is golden brown and cooked through. Your kitchen is going to smell heavenly!
10. Serve and Enjoy:
Once they’re out of the oven, let the biscuit bombs cool for a few minutes. Then, serve them warm and enjoy your tasty Bacon Egg Breakfast Biscuit Bombs!
These are perfect for a cozy weekend breakfast or a quick grab-and-go meal. Enjoy every bite!
Can I Use Frozen Bacon Instead of Fresh?
Absolutely! Just make sure to thaw it completely before cooking. You can thaw frozen bacon overnight in the fridge or microwave it briefly using the defrost setting until it’s manageable.
How Can I Make These Vegetarian?
To make a vegetarian version, simply replace the bacon with sautéed vegetables like bell peppers, mushrooms, or zucchini. You could also use a plant-based bacon substitute for added flavor!
Can I Prepare These in Advance?
Yes, you can prepare the filling the night before! Store it in the fridge and assemble the biscuit bombs in the morning. They’ll still bake up perfectly fresh and delicious!
What’s the Best Way to Store Leftovers?
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. To reheat, pop them in the microwave for about 30 seconds, or rewarm in the oven at 350°F (175°C) until heated through.
