Bundt Pan Bacon Egg Cheese Bread (Print Version)

# Ingredients:

→ Biscuit Dough

01 - 3 cups self-rising flour
02 - 2 1/4 cups heavy cream
03 - 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
04 - 1/2 cup finely crumbled cooked bacon

→ Egg Filling

05 - 5 large eggs
06 - 1/4 cup milk
07 - 1/2 teaspoon salt
08 - 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

→ Assembly & Topping

09 - 1 1/4 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese, divided
10 - Remaining bacon crumbles (from 10–12 slices cooked and crumbled)
11 - 2 tablespoons butter, melted
12 - 1 teaspoon chopped fresh chives

→ Pan Preparation

13 - Nonstick cooking spray

# Instructions:

01 - Preheat oven to 220°C. Generously coat a 10–12 cup Bundt pan with nonstick cooking spray, ensuring all surfaces are covered. Set aside.
02 - In a medium mixing bowl, whisk eggs with milk, salt, and pepper until well blended. Pour mixture into a skillet and soft scramble over medium heat just until loosely firm. Transfer to a plate to cool.
03 - In another medium bowl, use a fork to combine self-rising flour, 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese, and 1/2 cup crumbled bacon. Create a well in the centre and add the heavy cream. Gradually work the cream into the dry ingredients with a fork until a shaggy dough forms.
04 - Sprinkle 2 tablespoons reserved bacon and 60 ml (1/4 cup) shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the base of the prepared Bundt pan.
05 - Using an ice cream scoop or a 60–80 ml (1/4–1/3 cup) measuring cup, distribute half of the biscuit dough evenly into the pan over the bacon and cheese. Use the back of a spoon or offset spatula to gently spread and flatten.
06 - Distribute 120 ml (1/2 cup) shredded cheddar cheese, the cooked scrambled eggs, and remaining bacon crumbles evenly over the biscuit dough. Top with another 120 ml (1/2 cup) shredded cheddar cheese.
07 - Scoop the remaining biscuit dough over the filling, spreading gently to cover with an even layer.
08 - Place pan in the centre of the oven and bake for 25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the biscuit comes out clean.
09 - Remove pan from oven and allow to rest for 5–10 minutes. Carefully invert onto a cake plate or serving platter.
10 - Combine melted butter with chopped chives. Brush the mixture over the bread’s surface. Slice using a sharp knife and serve warm.

# Notes:

01 - For best results, cool the scrambled eggs fully to avoid steaming the dough during baking.
02 - Self-rising flour ensures a tender crumb; do not overmix the dough to maintain lightness.
