Prep Time: 15 mins
Cook Time: 20 mins
Total Time: 35 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 8 servings
Ingredients
- 1 can refrigerated biscuit dough
- 6 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Cook bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crispy. Drain on paper towels and crumble into small pieces.
- In a bowl, scramble the eggs and season with salt and pepper. Cook the eggs in a non-stick pan over medium-low heat, stirring gently until just set but still slightly soft. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
- Open the can of refrigerated biscuit dough and separate each biscuit. Gently flatten each biscuit with your hands to create a wider circle.
- Place a spoonful of scrambled eggs in the center of each biscuit dough circle. Top with crumbled bacon and shredded cheddar cheese.
- Carefully pull the edges of the biscuit dough up and around the filling, pinching and sealing the edges to create a complete enclosed ball. Ensure no filling is exposed.
- Place the sealed breakfast bombs seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each bomb.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and the dough is cooked through.
- Remove from oven and let cool for 5 minutes before serving. The filling will be hot, so caution is advised.
Tips
- Bacon Alternatives: If you’re looking for a healthier option, consider using turkey bacon or even sautéed vegetables for a vegetarian twist.
- Egg Consistency: For perfectly scrambled eggs, cook them on low heat and remove them from the heat while they’re still slightly undercooked; they will continue to cook in the oven.
- Biscuit Dough: If you want a flaky texture, try using buttermilk biscuit dough instead of regular. It adds a nice richness to the bombs.
- Cheese Varieties: Feel free to experiment with different types of cheese like pepper jack for a spicy kick or mozzarella for a milder flavor.
- Make-Ahead: You can prepare the filling the night before and assemble the bombs in the morning for a quick and easy breakfast option.
- Serving Suggestion: Serve these breakfast bombs with a side of salsa or hot sauce for an extra flavor boost!
