These Bacon Egg Breakfast Biscuit Bombs are packed with yummy goodness! Flaky biscuit dough wraps around crispy bacon and scrambled eggs, making for a great morning treat.
Who doesn’t love a breakfast that’s easy to hold while you sip your coffee? I like to make a big batch, so I have enough to share—or maybe just enough for me! 😄
Key Ingredients & Substitutions
Biscuit Dough: I love using refrigerated biscuit dough for its ease. If you’re looking for a healthier option, you can use whole wheat dough or even make your own from scratch if you have the time!
Bacon: While I prefer crispy bacon for that nice crunch, turkey bacon or veggie bacon can work great too if you’re trying to avoid pork. Just cook them until crispy for the best texture.
Cheddar Cheese: Shredded cheddar is a classic choice. If you’re a cheese lover like me, consider mixing in pepper jack or any other cheese you enjoy for added flavor.
Eggs: Fresh large eggs are best for scrambling. You could also swap in egg whites or a vegan egg substitute if you’re looking for a lighter option!
How Do You Get the Biscuit Bombs to Seal Properly?
Sealing the biscuit bombs well is key to keeping everything inside. Here’s how:
- After filling each biscuit, bring the edges together carefully. Pinch them tightly to prevent any filling from leaking out during baking.
- Always place the sealed side down on the baking sheet; this helps keep them closed as they bake.
- If you’re worried about leakage, you can also brush the tops with a little oil before baking for a nice golden finish!
Keep practicing, and you’ll become a pro at making these tasty breakfast treats. Enjoy every bite! 🍳🥓
How to Make Bacon Egg Breakfast Biscuit Bombs
Ingredients You’ll Need:
For the Biscuit Bombs:
- 1 can (16.3 oz) refrigerated biscuit dough (about 8 biscuits)
- 6 large eggs
- 8 slices bacon
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 3 tbsp milk
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 tbsp butter or oil (for scrambling eggs)
- Optional: maple syrup for drizzling
How Much Time Will You Need?
This delicious recipe takes about 20 minutes of prep time and 15-18 minutes of baking time. In total, you’re looking at around 40 minutes to enjoy these tasty breakfast bombs!
Step-by-Step Instructions:
1. Preheat the Oven:
Start by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it to prevent sticking.
2. Cook the Bacon:
Next, cook the bacon slices in a skillet over medium heat until they’re nice and crispy. Once cooked, drain the bacon on paper towels and then roughly chop or crumble it into smaller pieces.
3. Whisk the Eggs:
In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper. This mixture will create the fluffy filling for your bombs!
4. Scramble the Eggs:
Now, melt butter or heat oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Pour in the egg mixture and gently scramble until the eggs are cooked but still moist. Once done, remove from heat and set aside.
5. Prep the Biscuit Dough:
Separate the biscuit dough into individual pieces. Take each biscuit and flatten it into a thin circle using your hands or a rolling pin.
6. Fill the Biscuits:
On each flattened biscuit, place a spoonful of scrambled eggs, a sprinkle of shredded cheddar cheese, and some crumbled bacon. Don’t be shy, but don’t overfill either!
7. Seal the Bombs:
Carefully fold the biscuit dough around the filling, pinching the edges together to seal. Make sure it’s secure so the filling doesn’t leak out. Place each bomb seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
8. Optional Toppings:
If you love cheese, sprinkle a little extra cheese and bacon bits on top of each biscuit bomb for added flavor and crunch!
9. Bake the Biscuit Bombs:
Pop the baking sheet into the oven and bake for about 15-18 minutes, or until the biscuit dough is golden brown and fully cooked.
10. Serve and Enjoy:
Once they’re baked, remove the bomb from the oven and let them cool slightly. Drizzle with maple syrup if you like, then serve warm and enjoy your tasty breakfast treat!
These cheesy, bacon-packed breakfast bombs are perfect for a quick meal on the go. Happy cooking!
Can I Use Turkey Bacon Instead of Regular Bacon?
Absolutely! Turkey bacon is a great substitute if you’re looking for a healthier option. Just cook it until crispy, similar to regular bacon, before adding it to the biscuit bombs.
What If I Don’t Have Biscuit Dough?
No problem! If you don’t have refrigerated biscuit dough, you can use puff pastry or crescent roll dough as an alternative. Just be sure to adjust the baking time, as they may take slightly less time to brown.
Can I Make These Ahead of Time?
Yes! You can prep the filling and assemble the biscuit bombs a day in advance. Just cover them and store them in the fridge until you’re ready to bake. Bake them fresh when you’re ready for a warm breakfast treat!
How Do I Store Leftovers?
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. To reheat, simply pop them in the microwave for about 30 seconds or until warmed through. Enjoy your breakfast bites again!
