These Bacon Egg Breakfast Biscuit Bombs are a tasty way to start your day! Fluffy biscuits are filled with cheesy eggs and crispy bacon—what’s not to love?
Honestly, they’re like little breakfast hugs! I love making a batch for weekend brunch. Plus, they’re perfect for sharing with friends or sneaking a few for myself. 😄
Ingredients & Substitutions
Biscuit Dough: Refrigerated flaky biscuit dough is the easiest option here. If you’re feeling adventurous, you can make homemade biscuit dough! Alternatively, you could use crescent roll dough for a different texture.
Bacon: I love crispy bacon for its crunchy texture. If you prefer turkey bacon or a plant-based option, they work just as well! Just cook them until crispy for the best results.
Eggs: Using large eggs is ideal for this recipe. If you want to make it lighter, you could use egg whites instead of whole eggs, but I recommend keeping the yolk for that luscious runny center!
Cheddar Cheese: Sharp cheddar adds a wonderful flavor. You can switch this out for mozzarella for a milder taste or even pepper jack for a spicy kick. Just be mindful of melting properties.
How Do You Ensure the Perfect Biscuit Bomb Seal?
Sealing the biscuit bombs is crucial to keep the filling inside while baking. Here’s how to do it:
- After adding the filling to the center of each biscuit, gently fold the edges over the filling.
- Pinch the edges firmly to seal, ensuring there are no gaps. A tight seal prevents egg leakage during baking.
- Place seam side down on the baking sheet so they hold their shape while baking.
Give it all your care – a well-sealed bomb means less mess and more deliciousness in every bite!
Bacon Egg Breakfast Biscuit Bombs
Ingredients You’ll Need:
- 1 can (16.3 oz) refrigerated flaky biscuit dough (about 8 biscuits)
- 4 large eggs
- 4 slices bacon
- 1/2 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 2 tbsp butter
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley or chives, chopped (optional garnish)
How Much Time Will You Need?
This recipe will take about 10 minutes to prep and around 15-20 minutes to bake, giving you a total time of about 30-35 minutes. It’s a quick and fun way to whip up a delicious breakfast treat!
Step-by-Step Instructions:
1. Preheat the Oven:
First things first! Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). While that’s warming up, go ahead and prepare your baking sheet by greasing it or lining it with parchment paper. This will keep your biscuit bombs from sticking.
2. Cook the Bacon:
In a skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon until it’s nice and crispy. Once done, take it out and let it drain on some paper towels. After it cools, crumble the bacon into small pieces. Don’t forget to save about 1 tablespoon of the delicious bacon drippings in the pan; we’ll use it to scramble the eggs!
3. Scramble the Eggs:
In the same skillet you used for the bacon, melt the butter with the reserved bacon drippings. Add the eggs—season them with a sprinkle of salt and pepper—and scramble them until they are just set but soft. Take them off the heat before they overcook!
4. Prepare the Biscuit Dough:
Open the can of biscuit dough and carefully separate each biscuit. Use your hands to flatten each one slightly. You want to make enough space for all those yummy fillings!
5. Fill Each Biscuit:
In the center of each flattened biscuit, place a spoonful of the scrambled eggs, followed by a sprinkle of shredded cheddar cheese. This is when it gets really exciting!
6. Add the Yolk:
Now, make a small indentation right in the middle of the egg mixture. Crack an egg yolk gently into this spot, keeping the yolk intact for that delicious runny center. Get ready for it to ooze out when you bite in!
7. Top with Bacon:
Sprinkle those crumbled bacon bits on top of the yolk. It’s going to be so tasty! Then, fold the edges of the biscuit dough around the filling and pinch them tightly to seal. Make sure there are no gaps so everything stays inside while baking!
8. Bake the Biscuit Bombs:
Place the bombs seam side down on your baking sheet. If you’re feeling fancy, sprinkle some extra cheese and bacon on top. Pop them in the oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown.
9. Cool and Garnish:
Once they’re out of the oven, let the biscuit bombs cool for a few minutes. This will help the filling settle a bit. If you want, sprinkle some chopped parsley or chives on top for a burst of color and flavor!
10. Serve and Enjoy:
Now it’s time to dig in! Enjoy these warm, gooey Bacon Egg Breakfast Biscuit Bombs. They’re perfect for breakfast, brunch, or any time you want a tasty treat!
Can I Use Frozen Biscuit Dough Instead?
Yes, you can use frozen biscuit dough! Just make sure to thaw it according to the package instructions before shaping and filling. This will ensure they bake evenly and turn out fluffy.
What If I Don’t Have Bacon?
No problem! You can substitute the bacon with cooked sausage, diced ham, or even vegetables like spinach and bell peppers for a vegetarian option. Just make sure to cook any meats beforehand.
Can I Make These Ahead of Time?
Absolutely! You can prep the biscuit bombs in advance and store them uncooked in the refrigerator for up to a day. When you’re ready to bake, just pop them in the oven. If you need to store them longer, consider freezing them before baking. Just thaw and bake when you’re ready!
How to Reheat Leftovers?
If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the fridge. To reheat, simply place them in the microwave for about 30-60 seconds or until warmed through. You can also warm them in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for a few minutes to keep them crispy!
