Ingredients
Scale
- 6 large eggs
- 8 slices bacon, chopped
- 2 cups shredded pepper jack cheese
- 2 16.3 oz (464 g) cans buttermilk biscuits
- 4 tbsps salted butter, melted
- 2 tbsps fresh chives, chopped
- 2 tbsps fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tbsp everything bagel seasoning
- 1.5 tsps hot sauce
- ½ tsp kosher salt
- 1 pinch freshly ground black pepper
- Nonstick cooking spray
- Bundt pan
Instructions
- Bacon Preparation: Crisp bacon in a skillet over medium heat until golden, about 8-10 minutes. Reserve 2 tablespoons of bacon fat, transferring crispy pieces to a paper towel-lined plate.
- Egg Mixture: Whisk eggs with hot sauce, salt, and black pepper. Scramble in bacon skillet over medium heat until fluffy and just set, approximately 2-3 minutes. Set aside.
- Biscuit Coating: Separate refrigerated biscuits into six pieces each. Toss with melted butter, chives, parsley, and everything bagel seasoning, ensuring even coverage.
- Layering Process: Grease Bundt pan and preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Create initial layer with half the seasoned biscuit pieces, sprinkle shredded cheese, distribute scrambled eggs and crispy bacon evenly.
- Final Assembly and Baking: Top with remaining cheese and final biscuit layer. Bake until surface turns rich golden-brown, approximately 35-40 minutes.
- Serving: Rest monkey bread in pan for 10 minutes, then invert onto serving plate. Garnish with additional parsley and serve warm for maximum flavor.
Notes
- Bacon Precision: Cook bacon slowly to achieve perfect crispiness without burning, ensuring maximum flavor development.
- Egg Technique: Scramble eggs gently and remove from heat just before fully set to prevent overcooking and maintain creamy texture.
- Seasoning Strategy: Thoroughly coat biscuit pieces to guarantee even distribution of herbs and everything bagel seasoning throughout the dish.
- Resting Ritual: Allow monkey bread to rest after baking to help it set and make clean removal from the pan easier, preserving the intricate layered structure.
