This savory breakfast monkey bread is the perfect hearty breakfast that kids and husbands alike will love.
I know I have seen the sweet cinnamon sugar monkey bread recipe floating around the internet, but I don’t know about you I don’t always love to hype my children up on sugar first thing in the morning. It is usually a recipe for a disaster around here. So, I decided to take the same concept, but make it savory. Adding in hearty breakfast meats, yummy eggs, and baking up in the cute little bundt pan!
I chose to make mine with ham, but it would be so yummy with breakfast sausage or bacon as well! There is so much room for making this your own. I also decided to just use plain cheddar cheese, but on my list is to make this as a bacon gouda version. OMG! I’m drooling just thinking about it!
Enough with what I wish I would have put into the savory monkey bread. Let me show you what I actually added.
- 1 package of canned biscuits. You could make your own as well!
- 1 lb ham steak, diced
- 6 eggs, lightly beaten
- 4 tbsp butter, melted
- 2 cups cheddar cheese, shredded
That’s it! I love a super simple breakfast and this definitely fit that! It took me about 15 minutes to put together (since the ham steak is precooked) and then I let it back while myself and the kids got ready. As a warning, I didn’t quite grease my bundt pan enough, so it did stick a little bit when I tried to turn it out, but it was still super delicious!
Let me know in the comments what flavor combinations you think would be good with this savory monkey bread! I’m excited to experiment.
