Ingredients
Scale
- 4 large eggs
- ½ cup (120 ml) cooked bacon or sausage, crumbled
- ½ cup (60 g) shredded cheddar cheese (or mozzarella)
- 1 can (8-count) refrigerated biscuit dough (or homemade biscuit dough)
- ¼ cup (60 ml) milk
- 2 tablespoons (30 ml) melted butter
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon everything bagel seasoning (optional, for topping)
Instructions
- Preheating: Warm the oven to 375F (190C) and prepare a parchment-lined or lightly greased baking sheet for optimal cooking results.
- Egg Preparation: Whisk eggs with milk, seasoning with salt and pepper in a mixing bowl until well combined, then gently cook in a pan over medium heat, stirring consistently until barely set and soft.
- Meat Integration: Fold crumbled bacon or sausage into the scrambled eggs, allowing the mixture to cool slightly while maintaining its rich flavor profile.
- Dough Manipulation: Stretch each biscuit dough piece into a delicate 3-4 inch round, creating a perfect canvas for the filling.
- Filling Assembly: Center a generous spoonful of the egg and meat mixture on each dough circle, topping with a layer of shredded cheese for enhanced richness.
- Sealing Technique: Carefully fold the dough edges over the filling, pinching the borders firmly to create a sealed pocket, positioning the seam facing downward on the baking sheet.
- Flavor Enhancement: Brush the exterior with melted butter and sprinkle with garlic powder and bagel seasoning to elevate the taste and appearance.
- Baking Process: Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes until the breakfast bombs achieve a beautiful golden-brown exterior.
- Serving Preparation: Allow the breakfast bombs to rest for 5 minutes, ensuring the perfect temperature and texture before serving.
Notes
- Master Egg Distribution: Spread eggs evenly across dough center to prevent uneven cooking and ensure consistent filling in each bomb.
- Seal with Precision: Press dough edges firmly and fold carefully to prevent filling leakage during baking, creating a tight seal with no gaps.
- Temperature Control: Let eggs cool slightly before filling to prevent dough softening and maintain structural integrity of the breakfast bombs.
- Customize with Confidence: Swap bacon for vegetarian alternatives like spinach or mushrooms, and use gluten-free biscuit dough for dietary adaptations.
