Yield 18 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

7 strips bacon
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
10 oz flaky biscuit dough, 3 cans
1 ¼ cups butter, melted
2 cloves garlic, crushed
2 teaspoons italian seasoning
parsley, minced, optional

Steps:

  • Generously grease a large bundt pan with cooking spray.
  • In a bowl, mix both kinds of cheese.

  • In a small bowl, mix melted butter, Italian seasoning, and garlic.
  • Drop the biscuit pieces in the butter mixture and place in the bundt pan.

Provided by turquoise

Categories     100+ Breakfast and Brunch Recipes     Breakfast Bread Recipes

Time 1h25m

Yield 16

Number Of Ingredients 8

cooking spray
1 (12 ounce) package bacon
½ cup margarine
¾ cup packed dark brown sugar
½ cup maple syrup
¾ cup white sugar
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
2 (16.3 ounce) packages refrigerated biscuit dough, separated and cut into quarters

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Coat the inside of a 9-inch fluted tube pan (such as Bundt®) with cooking spray.
  • Place bacon in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Drain the bacon slices on paper towels; crumble and remove extra fat.
  • Melt margarine in a small saucepan over medium heat; stir in brown sugar and maple syrup. Bring mixture to a boil; cook and stir until mixture begins to foam, about 1 minute. Remove saucepan from heat.
  • Mix white sugar and cinnamon in a resealable plastic bag; add 6 to 8 biscuit pieces at a time and shake until well coated. Pour any remaining sugar-cinnamon mixture into brown sugar mixture. Place saucepan over medium heat and cook and stir until sugar dissolves, 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Sprinkle 1/4 the bacon pieces in the bottom of the tube pan; pour in about 1/4 the brown sugar mixture. Arrange 1 layer of biscuit pieces in the tube pan; sprinkle in 1/4 the bacon pieces. Drizzle about 1/4 the brown sugar mixture over the biscuit pieces. Continue layering until all the ingredients are used, ending with a drizzle of brown sugar mixture.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until biscuits are cooked through, about 35 minutes. Allow to cool in pan, 10 to 20 minutes; invert onto a serving plate.
