• 4 tablespoons salted butter, melted
• 2 tablespoons fresh chives, chopped

How To Make Pioneer Woman Savory Breakfast Monkey Bread

1. Preheat the Oven and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Spray a Bundt pan with nonstick cooking spray. Set aside.
2. Cook the Bacon: Place chopped bacon in a skillet over medium heat and cook until crisp, about 8 to 10 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the bacon to a paper towel-lined plate. Drain all but 2 tablespoons of bacon grease from the skillet.
3. Scramble the Eggs: In a small bowl, whisk together the eggs, hot sauce, salt, and black pepper. Pour the mixture into the skillet and scramble over medium heat until the eggs are fluffy about 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
4. Prepare Biscuit Mixture: Separate the biscuits and cut each one into six pieces. In a large mixing bowl, combine biscuit pieces, melted butter, chopped chives, chopped parsley, and everything bagel seasoning. Toss until the biscuits are evenly coated.
5. Assemble and Bake: Layer half of the biscuit mixture in the prepared Bundt pan. Sprinkle with half of the shredded cheese. Evenly distribute the scrambled eggs and cooked bacon over the cheese. Top with the remaining cheese and biscuit pieces. Bake in the preheated oven until the top is golden brown, about 35 to 40 minutes.
6. Cool and Serve: Allow the monkey bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting onto a serving plate. Garnish with additional chopped parsley. Slice and serve warm.

Recipe Tips

• Use the Right Biscuits: Choose buttermilk biscuits that are not flaky. These hold together better and give a nicer texture to your monkey bread.
• Crispy Bacon: Cook your bacon until it’s very crispy. Crispy bacon adds a nice crunch and won’t get soggy when baked with eggs and cheese.
• Coat Biscuits Well: Make sure each piece of biscuit is well coated with butter and herbs. This helps all parts of the bread taste great and turn a nice golden color when baked.
• Layer Ingredients Properly: Layer the ingredients carefully in your pan. Start with biscuits, add cheese, then eggs and bacon, more cheese, and end with biscuits on top. This way, every piece has a mix of all flavors.
• Let It Cool: After baking, let the bread cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before turning it out onto a plate. This helps the bread stay together and not break apart.
