These Bacon Egg Breakfast Biscuit Bombs are little bundles of joy filled with crispy bacon, fluffy eggs, and gooey cheese wrapped in soft biscuit dough. Perfect for brunch or a tasty snack!
They are so fun to make and even better to eat! I can never just stop at one. It’s a good thing they’re easy to whip up—great for busy mornings or lazy weekends!
Key Ingredients & Substitutions
Biscuit Dough: I recommend using refrigerated biscuit dough for a quick and easy option. However, you could make your own from scratch or use gluten-free dough for dietary needs. Store-bought puff pastry can also work for a flakier texture.
Eggs: The recipe calls for large eggs, but you can substitute egg whites or a plant-based egg replacement for a lighter version. Just remember to adjust cooking times, since plant-based options often cook faster.
Bacon: While I love using crispy pork bacon, turkey bacon or veggie bacon can be great alternatives. Use whatever fits your diet—just cook them until they’re nice and crispy for the best flavor!
Cheddar Cheese: Cheddar is my favorite, but feel free to experiment! Try pepper jack for a kick, or mozzarella for a milder taste. You can even use dairy-free cheese if you’re avoiding dairy.
How Do You Ensure Your Biscuit Bombs Are Sealed Properly?
Sealing the biscuit bombs is essential to keep all that delicious filling inside. Start by flattening the biscuit dough well. Make sure the filling is centered and not overstuffed; a little filling goes a long way. When you fold the edges, pinch them tightly to avoid any leaks during baking.
- Flatten each biscuit so it’s about ¼ inch thick.
- Center the egg mixture but leave space at the edges for sealing.
- Fold the edges up around the filling and pinch securely to form a pocket.
- Place seam side down on the baking sheet for extra security.
Taking your time with sealing will help ensure you have perfectly golden, fluffy biscuit bombs to enjoy!

How Much Time Will You Need?
This recipe will take about 15 minutes to prepare and around 15-18 minutes to bake, making a total time of about 30-35 minutes. You’ll love how quickly you can whip these up, and they’re perfect for breakfast or even a fun snack throughout the day!
Step-by-Step Instructions:
1. Preheat and Prepare Baking Sheet:
First things first—set your oven to 375°F (190°C) to preheat. While that’s warming up, line a baking sheet with parchment paper or give it a light grease with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
2. Cook the Bacon:
Next, take your bacon slices and cook them in a skillet over medium heat until they’re crispy. Once cooked, transfer them to a paper towel-lined plate to drain off any extra grease. Once they’re cool enough to handle, chop them into small pieces and set aside for later.
3. Whisk the Eggs:
In a medium bowl, crack open the eggs and add the milk, salt, and pepper. Whisk these together until fully combined and a little frothy—this will make the eggs fluffy!
4. Scramble the Eggs:
Heat the butter or oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Once it’s hot, pour in your egg mixture. Gently stir and scramble the eggs until they’re just set but still moist. Remove from heat and mix in the chopped bacon along with half of the cheese. This savory mix will be the delicious filling!
5. Prepare the Biscuit Dough:
Now, open the can of refrigerated biscuit dough and separate the biscuits. Depending on the size, you might want to flatten each biscuit into a circle that’s large enough to hold the filling. Make sure they’re about ½ inch thick for a good bomb shape.
6. Fill the Biscuits:
Place a generous spoonful of the egg and bacon mixture right in the center of each flattened biscuit. Be careful not to overfill or they won’t seal properly!
7. Seal the Bombs:
Now it’s time to fold! Bring the edges of the biscuit dough up and pinch them together to seal completely around the filling, forming a little “bomb.” Make sure there are no gaps for all the gooey goodness to escape!
8. Arrange and Top:
Place each finished biscuit bomb seam side down on your prepared baking sheet. Sprinkle the remaining cheddar cheese and a few extra bits of chopped bacon on top of each one for that extra yumminess!
9. Bake:
Pop your baking sheet into the oven and bake for 15-18 minutes, or until the biscuit bombs are a beautiful golden brown. Your kitchen is going to smell amazing!
10. Cool and Serve:
Once baked, take them out of the oven and let them cool for a couple of minutes. If you’re feeling fancy, sprinkle some chopped chives or green onions on top before serving.
11. Enjoy!
Serve these warm, and get ready for some serious flavor! These gooey, cheesy, bacon-filled breakfast bombs are about to become a favorite. Enjoy!
Can I Use Other Types of Meat in This Recipe?
Absolutely! You can swap out the bacon for sausage, ham, or even turkey bacon for a leaner option. Just make sure any substitutes are cooked beforehand and chopped for easy mixing into the eggs!
Can I Make These Biscuit Bombs Ahead of Time?
Yes, you can prepare the biscuit bombs in advance! Assemble them and place them on the baking sheet, then cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for up to 24 hours. Just bake them fresh when you’re ready to enjoy!
How Should I Store Leftovers?
If you have any leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. To reheat, pop them in the microwave for about 30 seconds or warm them in the oven at 350°F (175°C) until heated through.
What Can I Serve with These Bombs?
These biscuit bombs are great on their own, but you can also serve them with a side of fresh fruit, a simple salad, or even some hot sauce for a spicy kick! Pairing with a hot cup of coffee or tea makes for a perfect breakfast experience!
