5 STAR REVIEW
What’s better than eggs, bacon, and toast? When they’re all combined into an easy breakfast bread that you pull apart. Made with refrigerated biscuits and cheese, it’s super easy, delicious, and fun.
This pull apart bread is pretty filling, but if you wanted more of a complete meal (or enjoy breakfast for dinner!), you could serve it with a nice side salad.
Helpful Tips & Variations
- Refrigerated biscuits – Pillsbury Grands biscuits are used in this recipe.
- Replace the bacon. You can replace the bacon with cooked diced ham or cooked, crumbled sausage.
- Make the custard creamier. Whisk in a few tablespoons of milk or half n half for a slightly creamier texture.
- Use a different cheese. Swap out some of the cheddar and Monterey Jack cheese with Pepper Jack for a slight kick.
Pull-Apart Breakfast Bread
Ingredients
- 7 slices bacon, , diced small
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 tube refrigerated Pillsbury Grands biscuits
- 3 large eggs, , beaten
- 1/3 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 1/3 cup shredded monterey jack cheese
- 2 scallions, , finely diced
Instructions
- Cook bacon in a large skillet over medium-high heat until crispy, stirring occasionally, about 5 minutes. Drain on a paper towel and set aside.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Put the butter in a nonstick bundt pan coated liberally with cooking spray and let it melt in the preheating oven.
- While the butter melts, cut the Grands biscuits into quarters. In a bowl, gently toss the biscuit pieces, cooked bacon, eggs, both cheeses, and scallions together.
- Once the butter has melted, give the bundt pan a little swirl so the bottom is evenly coated. Add the biscuit mixture to the pan, sprinkling with any cheese and bacon pieces that get left behind.
- Bake for 25-27 minutes or until golden.
- Run a dull knife around the edges of the pan to loosen. Turn out on a dish and enjoy!

Serving Suggestions
If you’re serving this to just a few of you, it’s plenty filling and you won’t need anything to go with it. If it’s a bigger group or if you wanted more of a complete meal, you could serve it with a side of breakfast sausage and a bowl of fruit salad.
Proper Storage
Any leftovers should be tightly wrapped and stored in the refrigerator. It will keep up to 3 days. We recommend reheating in the oven to crisp the dough back up. (I don’t recommend making this ahead of time. The moisture from the eggs will make the dough soggy.)

I used store brand biscuits at 5,000ft elevation. It turned out great but I had to add 10 minutes of bake time.
So delicious! Substituted chives for green onions and added everything bagel seasoning (eyeballed it, but should’ve used less to cut back on the salt). Any suggestions on storage since I’m not wanting to eat all of this at once (maybe!) Thank you, Amy!
Hi Marty! Storage information is included in the article.
Thank you so much for this recipe. My husband loved it. I’m trying to be a little more adventurous this year and this was a perfect recipe. Very easy.
Can I make this the night before?
I don’t recommend making this ahead of time, but you can bake it and reheat in the morning if you have to. Storage info is in the article. Baked and served fresh will be best.
I made this for brunch for my son’s birthday. It was so good but I
couldn’t get it out of the pan. I put a bunch of butter and made sure I got it on/in all the nooks and crannies. I didn’t use any cooking
spray ‘cause we don’t like the taste. I believe everything tastes better with butter but maybe I screwed up in this case. It was so frustrating but we ended up taking it out of the pan in pieces. It tasted delicious and everyone loved it. Next time I’ll have to follow the directions to a “T”. Thank you ~Jujubees
If you had followed the directions and used cooking spray, you wouldn’t have had that problem. I understand if your family doesn’t like it, but recipes are tested a certain way and when you don’t follow them, you can run into issues as you did.
SO easy and absolutely delicious!
Wanted to try something different for breakfast this weekend and this was it – the whole family loved it so much. What a great idea, thanks for sharing. Already planning on making it again.
Impressive- next time I’ll use a pound of bacon!! Initially I thought it seemed doughy then reminded myself it’s biscuits, not bread- nice change
Enjoyed making this again. Added a tsp of minced garlic and cooked with convention bake. Made me realize that I have to visit your site more often.
This was on my Facebook feed, and I just made for Christmas breakfast. I had Great Value biscuits on hand, used two cans of those versus Grands. I couldn’t find my bundt pan so used my 2.5 quart Corningware dish, extended cook time to about 35 minutes. Everything was fully cooked. Looking forward to trying with sausage as well.
This is really good, but next time I am only going to use one can of biscuits, 2 eggs (maybe even 3), 1 T butter, and same quantities of meat and cheese.
The recipe called for ONE tube of grandes!!!?
Absolutely delicious! I would have never thought of this, even though it is fairly simple to make. Didn’t have a bundt pan so I used an angel food cake pan–not a great idea since the butter dripped through when I took the pan out of the oven. However, the corgi did enjoy the drippings. Followed the recipe to the letter, EXCEPT I used convention/bake instead of just bake. Set the timer at the low end. Loved the video which I viewed first. Can hardly wait to try another one of your great recipes–perhaps I can find a low calorie one, which would not be as much fun. Husband also chimed in, “it was great”–a man of few words with a hefty appetite.
OMG! W/the COVID-19 pandemic there was no grand biscuits available in my home town!!! Prepared the recipe exactly how it reads but w/crescent rolls(refrigerated). So amazing!!!! Will definitely make again and again! Oh BTW: I used my silicone baking mold, hands down!!!! Pops right out w/no mess!
I love this recipe. I added a 1/4 tsp garlic powder, a pinch of salt and pepper, and 1/2 tbsp of half and half when I whisked the eggs. I also added 1/2 roll of sausage, crumbled and cooked until no longer pink. It turned out fabulous!!
Oh my goodness… all my husbands favorites and so simple!!!! He would take Grands over home made biscuits any day….hey, what can I say? Made this recipe with the addition of lightly sautéed jalapeños and divided it between six large muffin pan portions.. he was definitely happy, and that is always my goal!!! Such a fun recipe. The muffin pull -a parts were a hit!!! A+!
Made this recipe with ingredients I had: canned biscuits, sausage, eggs, onions and cotija cheese and it turned out great!!! The bundt pan is genius! Thank you for sharing this recipe!!!
Mine didn’t look as nice. It was flatter even though I left it in the oven for 30 minutes. Still, it was gooooood!
Can you make this the night before serving?
Easy and soooooo yummy
Hey , can you freeze this ?! :)
Once baked and cooled, it will freeze well for up to 1 month, covered tightly. Thaw overnight in the fridge before reheating.
They sound absolutely perfect mid morning!
I don’t have a bundt pan. Is there something else I can use?
You could try using a 10-inch springform pan or maybe a 9×9 baking dish?
There are tons of recipes in regular pans that use precooked bacon as well. I saw those after I bought the stuff for this one.
I buy frozen Pillsbury Grands. Would they work if I let them thaw then cut them up?
Can’t see why not.
yummy breakfast recipe and looks very tasty
I don’t see half and ha;f in the written recipe. How much do you use? Thanks, Kathy
There isn’t any half n half. It doesn’t need it.
CAN U FREEZE THE LEFT OVERS… ONLY ONE PERSON HERE
We do not have Pillsbury Grands in our area, could I use just the regular country style biscuits (what we have in our grocery store)? if so would I have to increase any of the other ingredients,? like more eggs, butter.
I used the walmart brand of biscuits in a can and I think it turned out well. I may even try it with home made biscuit dough, but for now, canned it fine for me!
Just making sure…because while my mom has the cooking gene, I didn’t inherit it: are the eggs uncooked when you combine the mixture – before putting the pan in the oven? (And therefore they cook in the oven?) Thank you…
Hi Alle – the egg mixture is completely raw when it coats the biscuit pieces and goes into the oven. And then gets fully cooked. You can view the video right above the printable recipe card for a visual.
This looks delicious – I see in the other comments that people mention half and half, but it’s not listed in the recipe?
Hi Glenna! I used to whisk in a few tablespoons of half-n-half with the eggs to make them creamier, but it’s really not necessary, and since so many people were confused by it, I just took it out. But you can totally put it back in!
My cousin and I made this for all of us for breakfast this morning, it was so easy to make. Better yet it was so good. Her husband said it’s a keeper, which we all agreed.
hi would love to try this but live in australia what be the eqivelent biscuit to use instead of phillsbury grand biscuits thanks ann
I couldn’t say, Ann. Sorry :/ Maybe find a homemade biscuit recipe and use that instead?
I think in the US biscuits are scones here in Australia , I’m going to try it with scone mix , looks yummy
Hi. The scones are more dense than these biscuits. Instead, you want to use a light yeast bread type of dough like for dinner rolls. Similar to French bread but sweeter.
Hello,
Your recipe look so tasty ! As I am living in France I would need some of your help to get the right ingredients wich are not available here.
What is the Grand Biscuit and Half n half ?
Thanks
Albert
Hi Albert – Grands Biscuits are made by Pillsbury and are found with the refrigerated cookie dough at the grocery store. Half and half is a dairy product consisting of equal parts light cream and milk. Enjoy!
I found my bundt pan (and a whole set of spring form pans) at my thrift store. The bundt pan didn’t have any scratches and it was cheap! You could probably use an angel food pan. After this I’m going to try making country biscuits and sausage gravy this way for my hubby!
Thanks!
Jayne
Your recipe calls for 2 Tbsp. half and half..what can I substitute for that item since we don’t use or buy half/half? DH uses 2% and I use FF Latose free milk..This sounds like a perfect idea for Christmas Morning for the family, along with their favorite french toast recipe and the mimosas and fruit.
Hi Betty – the 2% should be ok, although I can’t vouch for the end result. And yes, your family will love it! Enjoy!
i can’t get the grands pilsbury biscuits where I live anymore…all they have is the Cinnabon grands pilsbury cinnamon buns or the normal size biscuits (I know they are much smaller) any suggestions? Do you think the regular biscuits would work? I’m not that good in the kitchen And like to follow recipes…at a loss.
Hi Marissa – hm. I can’t say without comparing the sizes, which I don’t have in front of me. If the smaller version is exactly half the ounces of the Grands, then you could probably just use two of those containers. Although, I don’t know if they have the same ingredients and will bake the same. And they might be too small to cut them in quarters. But you could try it!
oh my god, how did I miss this – AMAZING!!
Oh gosh, I don’t know. This was a popular one, for sure. Thanks, Heather! You’d love it!
These look so good !!!
Thanks, Connie! Enjoy!
Would it be okay to cook the bacon ahead of time? Or even possibly mix all the ingredients (except for the biscuit pieces) the night before? I’m trying to prep as much as possible so that all I would need to do is add the biscuit pieces then throw in the oven.
Hi Tam – it would definitely be ok to cook and chop the bacon ahead of time. And you could shred the cheese ahead of time. I wouldn’t, however, recommend mixing everything together early. But if you’ve got your bacon and cheeses done, it will only take you 5 minutes to whisk everything together.
I’m sure this is a stupid question, but….Do you chop the bacon before or after it is cooked?
Hi Becky! Not stupid. You dice it up before cooking (thus the need to stir while it’s in the fry pan.)
I don’t have a busy pan. Is there something else I can use?
This sounds so so good! I’m pinning this and am eager to try it out soon! Easy, cheasey, baconey and delicious; sounds like a meal to me! ;)
Loved this recipe. I didn’t have a bunt pan, but it turned out fine in a well greased 8×8 pan. I did cut the butter by a couple of tablespoons since I didn’t have all the nooks in the bunt pan. Thanks for the recipe!!
If I’m using bacon bits instead of regular bacon, how much bacon is there? A cup? Half a cup?
Hi Tracy – I’ve never used anything other than real bacon and can’t say I’ve ever actually measured it. I guess I should! I think 7 slices crumbled up would be the equivalent of 1/2 cup.
These were delicious!! I used double the bacon, cheese, eggs and half & half and cooked 8-10 minutes longer and was very happy with them..they went quickly and were loved by all. Thanks for a wonderful recipe!
Awesome, Virginia!
can you double this recipe in one bundt pan or would it be too big for the pan?
Hi Cynthia – it would be too big. The dough wouldn’t cook through and also overflow.
I live in the Philippines and we sadly don’t have any Pillsbury refrigerated products here :( Will I get the same results if I use homemade biscuits?
Hi Wendy – I really couldn’t say for sure, since I haven’t made it with homemade biscuits and I don’t know recipe ingredients you would be using. You could try it!
I used two eggs, extra cheese and 2 cans of regular biscuits, didn’t have Grands. The presentation was not impressive, mine stuck to the pan but it was DELISHIOUS! Will be making this again and again and again. Easy to put together and has all those breakfast items we love. Thanks for sharing this recipe. I guess I need to invest in a non-stick Bundt pan.
Hi Barbi! Yes, definitely get a non-stick Bundt pan. BUT, did you coat the pan you used with cooking spray, per the recipe instructions? That should have helped it come right out. Glad you loved it!
What type of pan can be used to still get the same effect, but in a smaller serving size? This stated serves 8-10, I’m looking more at a serving of 2-4, don’t want to be eating this for many days after.
Hi Jill – honestly, it depends what and who you’re serving it for. My family of 4 polished it off for breakfast. But if you’re serving it with something else like scrambled eggs, it will serve more like 8. I’ve never halved the recipe and have always made it in a bundt pan, so I couldn’t really say and guarantee it will still come out.
I find smaller tubes of Grands Biscuits at my store. Perfect for making a half recipe without wasting dough. Yum..
What would you suggest if I don’t own a bundt pan and don’t want to borrow yours again. ;)
HA. Buy one…because you’re going to make this over and over again. But you can borrow mine for a test run!
Looks good
This looks very interesting, I look forward to trying this soon.
Want to try
Love the recipes
Hi, I live in New Zealand and need to know what the equivalent is of
• 1 tube of Pillsbury refrigerated Grands Homestyle Butter Tastin’ biscuits
I have never heard of these………………….
Also…………. how much is “1 stick of butter”………….. our butter is sold in grams
many thanks
Oh gosh, Maxine…I have no idea. 8 biscuits come in a tube, so I guess you could search for a homemade biscuit recipe which yields 8?
As for the butter, I went online to a conversion chart and it said 1 stick of butter is 113.5 grams. This recipe calls for half of that.
Can I make this the night before and reheat for breakfast?
Well….you could. But I wouldn’t recommend it.
Got it. Thanks!
thanks Amy, I am use to doing “trial and error ” cooking I will give it a go………………..rofl
Lol. Good luck!!
Wow, I cannot wait to try this next weekend…although with the fresh fruit you mentioned , it might even make a wonderful light dinner some night this week.
Thank you so much for sharing!
I’m guilty of making it for dinner also…although there was no guilt. HA. Hope you enjoy it!
1) That’s incredible that both of your kids asked for the same thing! My brother and I never did, so Mom always made what she wanted (french toast or pancakes) because she knew we still liked those. 2) Can I come over for breakfast?? This looks amazing!! If not, I’ll just take care of the leftovers. ;)
This looks so good, great idea to mix in bacon & cheese! I’ve never used Pillsbury biscuits… I wonder if they are available around here (Ontario, Canada).
Hm. I couldn’t say. Maybe search on Google or check out Pillsbury’s website. I bet they have a product locater…
This is such a great idea! This would be perfect for SO many things, too. And easily adaptable based on people’s personal tastes. Bring on weekend breakfasts!
This is STUNNINGLY awesome. It might be the only thing I want to eat from now on. You’re brilliant.
LOVE pull-apart breads! LOVE your savory/breakfast bread…this is fantastic, Amy!!
Oooooooooh, yum! The only thing that would make this better is if it looked like a pie. {smile}
Wow Amy! This looks absolutely fantastic!! Can’t wait to give this one a try!
This is a brilliant idea! Like you breakfast during the week is quick, so I look forward to weekend breakfast time!
Oh magosh that looks yummy!
Oooo, this looks amazing! I’ve only seen sweet, sticky pull-apart breads..but this sounds so much better. Yum!!!
I’m trying not to get too excited here, but I think you just saved my life in the breakfast department! I have two boys that always want eggs, and two more that always want pancakes or waffles. All of them always want bacon, because…bacon. I can’t wait to float this recipe past them!
You need my address so you can send me that loaf … they have same-day delivery, right? I don’t blame your kids for not asking for the sweet stuff. I’m pick this first hands down.
Pull apart breads are just irresistible!
Ho-ly mo-ly. I want this so badly I can TASTE it this morning. This is so many things I love all in one dish!
Oh I love this idea so very much!
Is it wrong that I want to eat this whole thing by myself? My poor husband wouldn’t even get a bite….
OMG…this looks divine! How creative you are! Unfortunately I’m on a diet. Do you think the bundt pan be sprayed with a nonstick cooking spray instead of using the butter? Or maybe use a lot less butter, like a couple of tablespoons?
Hi Maria – you could definitely coat the pan with cooking spray…but just know that the butter gives the outside a crispy texture and adds to the richness of the bread. It should still be delicious, but not as much.
I only make exciting breakfasts about once a month, but I could definitely see this being a weekly favorite. By which I mean, the.boy will almost certainly request it for dinner. Daily. And I won’t blame him.
Could this be made omitting the egg ? I do not like eggs at all.
You could try it – maybe just increase the amount of half-n-half to 3 tablespoons. I can’t vouch for the result, though. Good luck!
Thanks for your response…..I did try it without the eggs and it came out just fine. It was yummy!
Oh wonderful, I’m so happy to hear that!
Boy Howdy you kids were right on track in both desiring this bread. I am high fiving myself which is not the easiest thing to do, because this grand bread is the easiest thing to do. There is not doubt in my mind that it tastes as good as it looks.
I’m in love! It’s breakfast with eggs that even Jordan would eat. Pinned!
Mmm ok I can get behind this for breakfast!
