Ingredients

Let’s talk about what you’ll need. This recipe is all about simplicity, so you probably have most of these ingredients on hand:

A piece of uncooked dough topped with slices of cooked bacon and cheese sits on a wooden cutting board, with another piece of plain dough above it.

1 tube (8 count) refrigerated biscuits (I usually go for Pillsbury because they’re reliable)
4 slices bacon, quartered (feel free to use turkey bacon if that's your jam)
4 slices American cheese, quartered (or any cheese you like)
2 eggs, scrambled (add a splash of milk if you want them fluffier)

How to Make It

Alright, let’s get into the fun part! Start by preheating your oven to 375°F. This is key because you want those breakfast bombs to bake up nice and golden.

While the oven is heating, grab your biscuits. I love to butterfly each one horizontally. Just slice it almost in half, but don’t go all the way through. Then, gently flatten it with your palm. You want it to be a bit wider so you have room for all the delicious filling.

A hand holding a knife slices through a round piece of uncooked biscuit dough on a patterned wooden cutting board.

Now comes the best part. On each flattened biscuit, scoop about a teaspoon of your scrambled eggs. Don’t be stingy, but remember that you have to close them up! Next, add two quarter pieces of bacon and two quarter pieces of cheese. You want that melty goodness in there, trust me.

A hand uses a fork to place a scrambled egg filling onto a round piece of dough on a wooden patterned surface, preparing to fold it closed.

Once you’ve got the filling in, pinch the edges of the biscuit tightly to seal everything in. It’s like wrapping a little present of breakfast. Place them seam-side down on a baking sheet. If you want to get fancy, brush the tops with an egg wash for that golden finish, and sprinkle some sesame seeds on top for a nice crunch.

Now pop them in the oven and bake for about 18 to 20 minutes. Keep an eye on them starting around the 15-minute mark because you want them to be perfectly golden brown, not burnt. The smell in your kitchen will be absolutely mouthwatering, and you’ll probably find it hard to wait for them to cool down before diving in.

Tips and Variations

Four unbaked pizza dough rounds are placed on a baking sheet, sitting on a wooden countertop. In the background, there is a dining table, blue chairs, houseplants, and large windows with greenery outside.

Here’s a little nugget of wisdom: you can totally customize these breakfast bombs. If you like a bit of kick, throw in some diced jalapeños or bell peppers with the fillings. Want to up the nutrition factor? Add some spinach or even swap out the bacon for sausage. The possibilities are endless!

Also, if you’re making these for a crowd or want to prep ahead, you can assemble them the night before and pop them in the fridge. Just remember to let them come to room temperature for about 20 minutes before baking.

Serving Ideas

When they come out of the oven, let them cool for just a few minutes. You don’t want to burn your mouth, but the temptation is real! These breakfast bombs are best served warm, and they pair well with a side of fresh fruit or a nice cup of coffee. I can totally see these being a hit at a brunch gathering, or even for a lazy Sunday morning at home.
