Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cans refrigerated biscuits (Grands brand recommended for best texture)
- 1 pinch salt (to taste)
Wet Ingredients
- 5 large eggs
- 1/2 small onion, diced (optional)
Other Ingredients
- 1 cup bacon bits or crushed precooked bacon
- 2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- Non-stick spray (for bundt pan)
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it’s at the perfect temperature for baking the bundt cake evenly.
- Prepare the Biscuits: Cut each refrigerated biscuit into 6 pieces and place them into a large mixing bowl. This will create the base texture of your bundt cake.
- Mix Eggs and Seasonings: Whisk the 5 large eggs together, then add salt, pepper, and diced onions or scallions if using. Pour this mixture over the biscuit pieces in the bowl.
- Add Bacon: Cook your bacon until crispy, crumble it into small pieces, and add to the bowl with the biscuits and eggs. This adds savory flavor and texture.
- Add Cheese: Shred sharp cheddar cheese and add 2 cups to the bowl, complementing the bacon and eggs with a rich cheesy taste.
- Combine Ingredients Gently: Use a spoon or your hands to gently mix all ingredients, being careful to keep biscuit pieces somewhat intact for texture.
- Prepare the Bundt Pan: Spray the inside of a bundt pan thoroughly with non-stick spray to prevent sticking and help with easy removal after baking.
- Fill the Bundt Pan: Pour the combined mixture into the prepared bundt pan, spreading it evenly around the pan to ensure uniform cooking.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 40 minutes, or until the top is a beautiful golden brown.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the bundt cake to cool before removing from the pan. Loosen the sides carefully so it slides out smoothly. Slice and serve warm.
Notes
- Use Grands biscuits for a more bread-like texture or regular biscuits for less bready results.
- Onions are optional; scallions or other herbs can be substituted to customize flavor.
- Bacon can be replaced with vegetarian bacon bits if desired, but this will change the flavor profile.
- Ensure the bundt pan is well greased to avoid sticking.
- Let the cake cool slightly before flipping for best presentation.
