Ingredients
Scale
Main Protein Ingredients:
- 4 large eggs
- ½ cup cooked bacon or sausage, crumbled
Dairy and Cheese Ingredients:
- ¼ cup milk
- ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese (or mozzarella)
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
Dough and Seasoning Ingredients:
- 1 can (8-count) refrigerated biscuit dough (or homemade biscuit dough)
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon everything bagel seasoning (optional, for topping)
Instructions
- Prepare the baking environment by heating the oven to 375F (190C) and arranging a parchment-lined or lightly greased baking sheet.
- Create fluffy scrambled eggs by whisking eggs with milk, seasoning with salt and pepper in a mixing bowl.
- Gently cook the egg mixture in a pan over medium heat, stirring consistently until barely set and soft.
- Incorporate crumbled bacon or sausage into the scrambled eggs, then remove from heat to cool slightly.
- Carefully stretch each biscuit dough piece into a delicate round shape, approximately 3-4 inches in diameter.
- Position a generous spoonful of the egg and meat mixture directly in the center of each dough circle.
- Sprinkle a layer of shredded cheese atop the egg filling for extra richness.
- Carefully fold the dough edges over the filling, creating a sealed pocket by firmly pinching the borders together.
- Arrange the sealed breakfast bombs with the seam facing downward on the prepared baking sheet.
- Enhance flavor by brushing the exterior with melted butter and dusting with garlic powder and bagel seasoning.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes until the exterior turns a beautiful golden brown.
- Allow the breakfast bombs to rest for 5 minutes before serving, ensuring a perfect temperature and texture.
Notes
- Maximize egg tenderness by removing scrambled eggs from heat when they’re slightly underdone, as they’ll continue cooking during baking.
- Experiment with different protein variations like ham, turkey sausage, or vegetarian crumbles to suit dietary preferences.
- Prevent dough from tearing by gently stretching and using slightly moistened fingers when sealing edges, ensuring a tight closure.
- Elevate flavor complexity by incorporating fresh herbs like chives or green onions into the egg mixture for an aromatic boost.
