Description

A warm, savory pull-apart breakfast made with buttery biscuit pieces, soft scrambled eggs, cheddar cheese, and flavorful mix-ins all baked in a bundt pan. It’s a fun, comforting brunch centerpiece perfect for weekends and gatherings.


Ingredients

  • Cooking spray
  • 6 Tbsp butter, divided
  • 6 large eggs
  • 3 Tbsp heavy cream
  • Kosher salt, to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 2 Tbsp finely chopped chives
  • 2 (16.3-oz.) cans refrigerated biscuits
  • 1 Tbsp garlic powder
  • 2 Tbsp dehydrated onion
  • 2 Tbsp poppy seeds
  • 2 Tbsp sesame seeds
  • 1 Tbsp flaky sea salt
  • 1/2 lb diced cooked beef or turkey alternative
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F and grease a bundt pan with cooking spray.
  2. Prepare the scrambled eggs: melt 1 Tbsp butter in a nonstick pan over medium heat. Whisk eggs and heavy cream, then pour into the pan. Reduce heat to medium-low and cook, gently dragging a spatula to form soft curds. When nearly set, season with salt and pepper and fold in chives. Remove from heat.
  3. Cut or tear each biscuit into quarters and roll into small balls. Transfer to a large bowl.
  4. Melt the remaining 5 Tbsp butter and pour over the biscuit pieces. Toss to coat. Add garlic powder, dehydrated onion, poppy seeds, sesame seeds, and flaky sea salt. Toss again to combine.
  5. In a large bowl, gently combine the seasoned biscuit balls with the scrambled eggs, cheddar, and cooked meat.
  6. Transfer the mixture to the prepared bundt pan, pressing lightly to settle.
  7. Bake 35–40 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and fully cooked.
  8. Cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then invert onto a platter. Serve warm.

Notes

  • Swap cheddar for pepper jack if you prefer heat.
  • Add sautéed peppers, mushrooms, or caramelized onions for extra flavor.
  • Use cubed sourdough in place of some biscuit pieces for a lighter version.
  • Reheat leftovers in the oven to keep biscuits soft and tender.
