These Bacon Egg Breakfast Biscuit Bombs are the perfect fun start to your day! Flaky biscuits wrap around delicious bacon and scrambled eggs for a tasty treat.
They’re like a cozy hug for breakfast! I love making these on lazy weekends when I want something easy but super satisfying. Trust me, you won’t want to share! 😄
Key Ingredients & Substitutions
Biscuit Dough: Flaky biscuit dough is key for that soft, buttery exterior. If you’re looking for a healthier option, try using whole wheat biscuit dough or make your own from scratch with flour, baking powder, and yogurt!
Bacon: I love using crispy bacon for its smoky flavor. If you want a lighter option, turkey bacon works well, or you can try diced ham or sausage bits for a different twist!
Cheddar Cheese: Sharp cheddar adds great flavor, but you could swap in Monterey Jack or pepper jack for a milder or spicier kick. Vegan cheese works for a dairy-free version!
Eggs: Fresh large eggs are best, but egg substitutes or egg whites can keep things lighter. You can also add some veggies, like spinach or bell peppers, to boost nutrition.
What’s the Best Way to Fold and Seal Biscuit Bombs?
Wrapping the filling inside the biscuit dough is crucial. Here’s how to do it properly:
- Flatten the biscuit to about a 4-inch circle to give you enough room.
- Add a spoonful of eggs, a bit of bacon, and a sprinkle of cheese in the center.
- Carefully fold the dough over the filling and pinch the edges tightly to seal. Make sure there are no gaps where the filling could escape.
- Place them seam-side down on the baking sheet to keep them closed while baking.
This method ensures gooey goodness stays inside for a delicious treat every time!
Bacon Egg Breakfast Biscuit Bombs
Ingredients You’ll Need:
For the Biscuit Bombs:
- 1 can (16 oz) refrigerated biscuit dough (such as flaky biscuits)
- 6 large eggs
- 6 slices bacon
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 tablespoons milk
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 tablespoon butter or oil (for scrambling eggs)
- Optional: chopped fresh parsley for garnish
How Much Time Will You Need?
This delicious recipe will take about 10 minutes to prepare and 15-18 minutes to bake, making a total time of about 30 minutes. You’ll have perfectly gooey breakfast bombs ready to enjoy in no time!
Step-by-Step Instructions:
1. Preheat the Oven:
Start by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). This ensures it’s hot enough to bake the biscuit bombs to golden perfection! While it’s warming up, line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it to prevent sticking.
2. Cook the Bacon:
In a skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon until it’s nice and crispy. Once done, remove it from the skillet and let it drain on paper towels to remove excess fat. Once it’s cool enough to handle, chop the bacon into small pieces and set it aside.
3. Prepare the Eggs:
In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper until well combined. Then, heat butter or oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Pour in the egg mixture and gently scramble the eggs until they’re just cooked but still slightly moist. Remove from heat and set aside.
4. Shape the Biscuit Bombs:
Open the can of biscuit dough and separate the biscuits. Flatten each biscuit slightly into a thick circle using your hands or a rolling pin. You’re aiming for about a 4-inch diameter.
5. Fill the Biscuits:
In the center of each flattened biscuit, add a spoonful of scrambled eggs, followed by some chopped bacon and a sprinkle of cheddar cheese. Don’t overfill so you can easily seal them.
6. Fold and Seal:
Carefully fold the biscuit dough over the filling, pinching the edges tightly to seal them completely into a ball. Place each biscuit bomb seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet to help keep them closed while baking.
7. Top and Bake:
For extra flavor, sprinkle a little more shredded cheddar cheese and some bacon pieces on top of each biscuit bomb. Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for about 15-18 minutes, or until they are golden brown and the filling is hot.
8. Cool and Serve:
Once baked, remove the biscuit bombs from the oven and let them cool slightly on the baking sheet. If using, garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving. Enjoy these warm and gooey breakfast delights!

Can I Use Frozen Biscuit Dough Instead of Refrigerated?
Yes, you can! Just make sure to thaw the frozen biscuit dough according to the package instructions before using it. This usually involves leaving it in the fridge overnight or at room temperature for a few hours.
How Do I Make Them in Advance?
Sure! You can prepare the filling in advance and assemble the biscuit bombs, then refrigerate them until you’re ready to bake. Just ensure you bake them within 24 hours for the best results, and you may need to adjust the baking time slightly if they are cold from the fridge.
What’s the Best Way to Store Leftovers?
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. To reheat, simply pop them in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10-12 minutes until warmed through. You can also microwave them for a quick option, but they may not be as crispy!
Can I Add Vegetables to the Filling?
Absolutely! Feel free to add diced bell peppers, onions, or spinach for added flavor and nutrition. Just make sure to sauté any vegetables until they’re tender before adding them to the biscuit bombs.
