What is Savory Breakfast Monkey Bread?
If you love classic Monkey Bread with its cinnamon-sugar goodness, you’re in for a treat! This breakfast version keeps the fun pull-apart style but adds a savory spin with eggs, cheese, and breakfast meats. This breakfast monkey bread is one of my family’s all-time favorite brunch items.
Ingredients You’ll Need
This breakfast monkey bread recipe might use Grands biscuits, but it tastes homemade! Only eight simple ingredients are needed, but once it’s baked, it looks so impressive. Perfect for holiday brunches! Check out the recipe card below for exact measurements.
Grands Biscuits: I love making pull-apart bread recipes with these canned biscuits! They are so versatile! Large Eggs: This recipe uses six large eggs that are lightly scrambled and added to the breakfast bread. Heavy Cream: A small amount of heavy cream added to the eggs makes them fluffy and light. Seasoning: Everything bagel seasoning for extra flavor. Butter: Makes the eggs taste rich and SO delicious. Meat: Precooked breakfast sausage and bacon are added to the mixture of ingredients for the most amazing savory flavor. Cheese: I really like shredded cheddar cheese in this recipe, but feel free to add whichever cheese you prefer! Gruyère, white cheddar cheese, pepper jack, Monterey Jack, provolone, and Swiss are all great options.
How to Make Breakfast Monkey Bread
I love how wonderfully simple this recipe is. With nearly everything ready-made, you can just toss it all into a pan and let the oven handle the rest! Just follow my step-by-step instructions below for a breakfast that’s bound to become a favorite!
Seasoning Options: The Everything bagel seasoning can be substituted for other seasonings or just salt and pepper. Use 1/2 teaspoon salt and a pinch or two of black pepper. Different Cooking Options: You can use a 6-cup bundt pan by cutting the recipe in half and baking it for 20-25 minutes. Alternatively, you can spray a muffin pan with non-stick spray, divide the mixture into 12 portions, and bake for 13-18 minutes to make mini Monkey Bread muffins. Other Canned Biscuits: If you use regular-sized canned biscuits instead of the Grands, use the same number of cans, but cut the biscuits in half instead of in quarters. Add Onion and Peppers: Sauté 1/2-1 cup of onions or peppers and stir them in with everything to add a little more variety of flavor. Add Chives: Try adding 1-2 tablespoons of chopped chives with the eggs or stirring them into the biscuit mixture.
In the Refrigerator: Store in an airtight container or wrapped in plastic wrap for about five days. In the Freezer: Store in a freezer bag or wrapped in 2 -3 layers of plastic wrap followed by a layer of foil for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in the fridge before reheating. Reheat in the oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 20 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
